Hello I'm new here too but everyone has been lovely so far.

I need new fronts but no idea if it's a good idea to go to QuickFit type place? I've only just got my Zed and rears are ok but fronts near legal limit. Doing track day soon so want best tyres I can get. Please be kind as I am not technical and only bought my car because I fell in love with it on dealer's forecourt when I went up to get new batteries for Range Rover remote

Another techie to add to our statistical sample then! I used to live n work in Leicester

Mm, quite a few engineering/techie types then. If more people respond maybe a clearer picture will build up?

I've only just got mine and I've encountered this problem too. I just sort of waffle on til people's eyes glaze over must practise a more succinct response!

Zugara, he does sound like the boss from hell that's why I'm self-employed. No-one can tell me what to do!

ChrisB, I'd love to be a student again but the cost is a bit off-putting If I had the money I'd study clinical psychology to go with my first degree in French and Modern European Literature. Zugara , happy to report that I am neither a spotty youth nor a pensioner Good luck with your new job as Ops Manager in the Air Compressor company. I'm sure it will be a gas

I was wondering if Zed owners could be stereotyped at all? I have my opinions on certain types of car owners, although my husband has a BMW and I wouldn't say that he fits the profile usually associated with that particular car. So, what does everyone do for a living? I run my own personalisation business - embroidery, printing, mug making, coasters, glass photo frames and so on.

Nice car

It's ok, I'm forgiven now and he's even bought me a lovely new iPad. Very spoilt this week

"...shame I didnt enjoy the vibrations in my car as much as the ladies did " That made me laugh out loud! Right, I'm off to bed to,er, 'apologise' to the other half for my earlier comment

I know which he'd prefer

Thanks Yay, roll on summer. Better be a good one this year!

... with my new Z Garage delivered it on Thursday and I am smitten. I love everything about it but I think I made a tactical error when I told my husband that driving it was better than s*x I think he will have stopped sulking by tomorrow ...

Thanks both Will PM him now.

As I haven't yet got a garage or car port (still deciding what I want) I think I'd better protect my Roadster with a cover. Does anyone know which cover fits best and is the best quality? I've always had Land Rovers of some description so I've never needed to buy a cover before.

Thank you zugara. I had got very bogged down trying to piece dozens of threads together but this link makes things beautifully clear

Thank you I will search for that I have the Bose, or will have when I get the car on Thursday.

I apologise in advance for being completely non-technical but is there a way to make my iPhone connect to the speaker in the car? I really am clueless about things like this and, unless there is a place to plug in the little wire thing (no idea what the proper name for it is), like in the BMW that we have, I don't know where to begin. Thanks for any advice

Thanks everyone. Going to up to the garage today for a look at my new car because I can't wait til Thursday I've also booked a half day with Colin Hoad at CAT in May and I am really excited (and also quite apprehensive) about that!

Thanks

Thank you for explaining that. I really know nothing as Manuel from Fawlty Towers used to say That sounds perfect for me as I need to learn a heck of a lot and I'd rather do it in relatively safe surroundings than on the public roads.

Thanks for that I am not ready yet to go yet but I will ring them up to get more info, explain what I need and find out if they can help.

What does a track day involve? Sorry, I am a complete novice I would like some one-to-one training because I need to learn to drive my new car properly (getting it next week) as I am totally clueless and don't want to mess things up!

Thank you. I've tried to reply but not sure if I've even done that properly as msg is still sitting in my Outbox rather than Sent Items
