At least he's honest, would you honestly expect someone to spend that amount of money on a car, then drive it like Miss Daisy?? He's out enjoying his car, although his "private airstrip" probably isn't the best place to do it.

Distance To Empty For once in my life I got in 1st You "arrived" first, probably wouldn't go shouting about that Seriously though, thanks for that, had been bugging me.

Q: What does DTE stand for? Not mentioned in "The Glossary" thread and you can't search as it's only three characters long. I know what it is, just not what the abbreviation stands for.

Hi folks, I'm seriously considering tracking the car at Knockhill, however I've never been to a track day before(unless you count a drift day). Just wondering If I would be better off on the hot marques day on the 23rd of October, or something like the Livingston Autoparts day on the 30th? I just worry about over enthusiastic drivers being on the track at the same time. This is why I'd be leaning towards the hot marques day. Are there any of the instructors from Knockhill available on the night? Only ask as I've been round with one of them piloting a seat leon, and wouldn't mind a few pointers. Really looking forward to some track driving ps, I take it any exuberance out of the real radio hairpin is frowned upon?

have you tried Admiral/Bell? - they seem to be good for zeds Yeah I've tried them, with elephant currently, but it's taking a big jump to insure a zed. Would be interested in going with the club to knockhill on the 26th if I take the plunge before then.

Just been having a look at some insurance quotes, has anyone else noticed that it is almost 50% more expensive to insure a roadster? Is this down to it being easier for a thief to break in? I've previously owned a wide variety of performance cars and for some reason, even though I'm older now(24), the insurance is more expensive.

I live just outside Aberdeen. Been to see a few others over the weekend, pretty set on getting one now, just need to be sure I can live without the turbo kick.

I suppose overall condition comes into it as well, seen some with the orange leather look worn in places: bolster, gear knob & handbrake. Strange to have less torque in the higher hp cars, but as the saying goes: BHP sells cars, torque wins races.

So for instance, would you pay the extra 1k for this car over this one?

Hello, been on the site for a couple of weeks now trying to gather information. I'm considering a zed for my next car, just have a couple of questions regarding the facelift that took place around 2006. Firstly do the cars with the facelift interior all have the 300bhp engine? Is it possible to have the 300bhp engine without the facelift interior? Only asking as I've seen 2006 non facelift car advertised as having 300bhp engine. Noticed a slight dip in price of the 06 plate cars without facelift, will this be due to them not being a facelift car(therefore not the 300bhp engine) and falling into the £400+ road tax band? Finally could anyone tell me if they felt any noticeable difference going from a 280bhp car to a 300bhp one? Thanks, Steven.
