Hi there, I've been lurking on the forum for a month or so now whilst in search of my first Zed. My name is Chris and i'm from Salisbury, Wiltshire but originally from the Bournemouth area. I know some guy called Bob (buster) who also lurks around here I kind of enthused me to get a Zed
It's been a fairly long time time waiting but three weeks ago I managed spot a good one that was about to go on the market and snapped it up
Totally standard UK GT 2004 with 55k, Sunset orange with all the trimmings including Satnav, parking sensors, tan leather heated seats, rear Z boot tray and all the other bits etc
So far I totally love the car, the power and the handling but also realise that it has a lot more potential I test drove a few and this one, although standard had the perfect base to build upon and within 7 days got started on a few subtle mods. Already had a few bits of Zmanalex and a few others from here, hoping to stick around and keep going - already have a few plans for Project Z! Here's some pics.
And one with Bob's Z
