Hmm let us know how you get on if you do! Thinking of taking my zed drifting so might well consider adding a shim for more diff lock up myself

Brilliant vid, thanks for that! Must be exhausting driving a whole lap of the Nordschliefe on the snow, constant corrections. Looks hilariously good fun though!

Might do the three peaks with work if they go again this year, and they climb mountains at sensible drives. On another note, i am doing a roadtrip to scotland to climb ben nevis and then scarfell pike on the way back... was going to do snowdon as well so it would be the three peaks in a week, but added too much to the journey time and i've already climbed snowdon!

Lets be honest - its no 'Like a G6'

Im going to try and be there, if i can persuade any of my friends to come along - theres a shocking lack of petrolheads amongst them considering they're all engineers. our plan is to drive down thursday and back on monday, via the chunnel.

snow rubbing the paint wont be a problem, but any dirt or grit that was on the car or on your gloves will be... maybe wash it off with a hose?

dont see why not - could add a bit of individualism to a zed.

or rather, how much tread/how many miles have the tyres done?

Yep, been snowing for couple of hours now in Leamington. Which sucks as i've just bought a zed Hoping it miraculously clears by tomorrow?!?

Nice Rims! How fresh are the tyres?

Alrighty, 6 months after first joining and theres a zed in my parking space outside! Massive thanks to Ash, really looking forward to many happy motoring miles! Its a 53 plate UK GT Spec car, Gun metal, 41k on the clocks. And its mine! Though typically, the day after the winter tyres are removed, and no less than 3 hours after cash and documents are exchanged, it started snowing So it might not be going anywhere for a while yet - probably shouldnt get used to a new car in the snow! Better pics to follow when its not snowing and its washed, but for now it does look good parked between two euroboxes... Looking forward to my first meet and first proper drive when the weather improves! Thanks for putting up with my 200+ posts when i didnt actually have a zed, they might be more constructive now i have a reference point! Cheers all Brillo

thetreadshop.com loads of tyres in 245/45/18 size... but hardly any in 225/45/18, so you're in luck!

PM'ed

I wouldnt mind doing it - he can either come with me to Scotland in May or Le Mans in June, im sure he'd like the fast noisy cars

Cannot wait till saturday! fraid im not going to maintain the striped carpets, although will be attending as many meets as i can

I have no problem with letting people know to use the search function, im just thinking it makes the search less and less efficient as you have to sift through lots of posts before you get to the answers you want! Its a vicious circle - the more posts there are that ask the same questions, the harder the search is to use, so people give up on the search and thus make more posts that ask the same questions. Maybe once threads have reached a conclusion they could be deleted to keep the search clear?

double post

I would say gloss black... the matt black in the pictures blends with the gunmetal too much for me. even better with a polished lip If you really want to stand out go for coloured, but you'd need other matching highlights on the car to make it work IMO.

I totally agree with Gball1973... I knew there was a 5 post approval minimum, but if thats the case, then if someones first post is 'what tyres are best for my zed?' with no other introduction at all, then i dont think that post should be approved, rather a polite message sent to the sender saying 'please use the search function' and 'please make sure your question hasnt been covered by numerous other topics before' viewtopic.php?f=60&t=58018 springs to mind as an example of this. Im not sure 99% of members do post an introduction message first, it seems to be about 50/50 whether the first post is a meaningful introduction or a question thats been asked a million times before. Maybe a clampdown on new post approval might be in order? we keep saying all these new posts for questions already answered makes it even harder to find the right answer by using the search, i just think that these kind of posts should not be approved in the first place?

Hi All, Just a thought, might it be an idea to have a 5 post minimum before being able to start a new thread in anything other than 'Introductions and Welcomes'? Might stop people joining and then straightaway asking 'What tyres are best for the zed?' or 'how do i get 400bhp from my zed?' or some other heavily answered question? You could even have a standard error message that comes up if a very new member tries to start a new thread, something along the lines of 'If you have a question that might have been asked before, please use the SEARCH button top right' It seems half of the new members on here start with a question, and the first reply is always 'please use the search button' which might not be the friendliest first reply.... if there was a way of preventing the post in the first place it would save a lot of repeated questions! Just my two cents
