Safe trip and enjoy!

That's the one

Where have I seen that car before, Colin? The original brochure I have says Frost was available with all paint colours, but Alezan was restricted:-

Nope, it looks good... ...here is mine:

Crikey - that's a bit of bad luck.. ..

You're right Stew - I can see that on AK350Z's car now! Every day's a school day, eh?

oh yeah http://www.tamiyaclub.com/car.asp?id=482..... ....but you'll have to find old stock

I don't know how the earlier engine feels, but I do know that my HR engine feels and sounds significantly different on different oils. Have you tried an oil change? However, I'd say that the Zed has been deliberately kept a little unrefined to suit its character - and for me its a better car because of it! Dave

If you go for the full kit, the only visual difference between your 2008 and an earlier car with the same kit will be the bonnet. Edit - forgot the front bumper is a very slightly different shape on your 2008 - the reflectors slope the opposite way, but still the differences are very minor. Might be easier to find some pics of an earlier car...

Maybe a repost, but... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-16716617 I suppose that road is a 30mph limit, too? And 1:50am??

Won't the lack of airbags fail the MOT soon?

Bridgestone RE040 on earlier cars, then RE050As on later ones (2007 onwards, I think)

Cheers chaps - can't wait!

Is it just me, or does it strangely look like the camera has a helmet on, too? Also just noticed the cameraman has a nappie on - can't say I blame him...

I've booked all 3 nights in the hotel, but may have to change that and head home late on the Sunday if Mrs P can't get Monday off work - hope that's ok.

That looks perfectly safe - he's tied on with a bit of string, what could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to the forum mate Soon there will be more zeds in Bournemouth than old Hondas with tartan blankets on the parcel shelf...

I like that

When I was 17, my old man bought a Nova 1.2i saloon for me to learn in - it was 3 years old and bought from a driving instructor. It had 160k on it then at 3 years old, and the instructor claimed it had never had a new clutch - proof that it had so little torque that even learners couldn't toast it! We took it up to 193k in the next couple of years, and the only problem it gave was a rear wheel bearing due to a bent stub axle - presumably caused by a learner 'parking' it on a kerb. It was terrible to drive, but a remarkably robust little car.

Welcome along!

Looks lovey mate - welcome onboard!

UK on-sale date is 11 February 2012 - it has already been shown at Detroit, though!

Hope you are aware of the new model being launched in a couple of months? As long as you are getting a VERY good deal now, it should be ok!

Voted - good luck!

I'd say without - it looks great smooth.
