Looks like a bad fiat coupe

Wow, great looking zed, looks absolutely spot on and i love the headlights, good job

I've got an early model on a 54 plate with its original clutch and its the smoothest car I've had in traffic, I do a lot of city driving and it's perfect! Somebody who knows a bit more about transmission may be able to help

Sweet looking zed, love the rims

Car's looking sweet Snaps aren't bad either Some of my faviourite driving roads near Snowdonia, great for mountain biking too

Really enjoyed that, cheers I agree that the boxster finally looks like a blokes car, might go and have a shifty at one

Let the fun commence

Gents, Gents.. Remember the word of the veru Great Brit, he who dares Rodney, he who dares.. Throw a thousand stones, u will smash a few windows !!!

Happy days, just as the British summer arrives Oh and

Grab yourself a day in Manchester and leave the zed with Lockwood & Greenwood, they've looked after mine for 2.5 years and look after several other zeds on here. Check out the traders discounts forum too! Oh and

Someone's in for a good day, enjoy

Good post. So i've just worked out two values... The first - i've worked out how much i've lost in depreciation on cars over the last 7 years. I've only ever had non-new cars (newest was 4 years old, but the average age of my cars is about 7 years old). During this time, i've lost a totoal of £14000 in depreciation, or £2k per year. Comparing the price of the SLK on PCP, a £1500 deposit + 23x £250 = £7250, or £3625 a year - so i'd be losing 80% more than i have done in the past on depreciation. Not good - although i would be driving a brand spanking new car for the first time ever. However - looking on parkers at the previous gen SLK, price new vs 2yrs old for the cheapest model in the range (and therefore lowest depreciation) - they lose £11k over 2 years (not including any interest on finance i'd have to pay!) - which is a damn site more than the £7250 it would cost me to own via PCP. Okay this isnt a totally fair test seeing as the 2011 SLK is at the end of the model iteration, but it's as good a comparison as i've got. (source = http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/prices/us ... arplate=94) So based on the above... financially i'd be better off sticking with old cars as i've always done - obviously. However over a 2 year period, PCP works out cheaper than ownership, as far as i can see, and doesnt leave me with the overhead of trying to to pay a £35k loan. Don't forget to add any loan repayments on your old car figures and maintenance costs. If you included these e.g the £180 per month I pay off my loan plus the usual expense that comes with buying a used car i.e they're never perfect examples. Sent from my crappy iPhone

fun times ahead
