  1. I was out on a drive, filming on my GoPro camera, just about managed a wave as I saw you at the last second. I did not see a wave in return... But got a good shot of whoever it was on my GoPro!
  2. I do not drive like most teens luckily! Although today was my first time in the wet, had my mother in the car with me... Got to a roundabout, and said to her 'do you reckon I could drift it here?' I did not think anything was going to happen, in third gear, mid turn, gave it a bit of throttle and the back end kicked out, managed to hold it until I came off my exit. May I add I was literally at my exit when it happened. Needless to say my mother was not at all happy. But this experience has made me respect my Zed just that little bit more
  3. Few from today... please excuse the dusty rear end!
  4. Got mine at 18! Insured it the day I turned 19, with admiral!
  5. Here are some pictures.. Spot the asian... Nothing special, but good practice!
  6. Bed time for me now Will post all the good shots early tomorrow morning!
  7. No alarms went off. The beeping was the angry man. I have a video of the exact thind I did as I went there twice today, first time was recorded, second time was not, which was when the angry man showed up. And when I said 'I accelerated up to 20mph' I literally meant, for a split second I was at twenty, but swiftly was on the brakes, I merely wanted to enjoy the noise in first gear as the rpm's get over 4000! My exhaust is A LOT louder than most zeds, and of course louder than everyday cars... I wonder if it was a corsa or say even a prius that had replicated my 'INSANE ACCELERATION' would he have even of batted an eyelid????????!
  8. So today I was out filming in the car (my friend was filming from the passenger seat..), went and got a tripod and everything!! I decided I wanted to get some pictures in an underground car park (typical I know), I went to my local Tesco one. I drove in, in first gear and as I was underground you can tell I wanted to make some noise so a briefly accelerated to about 20 along a quiet straight towards the back of the car park, no one ahead, just parked cars. I then heard a series of horns going off, I parked up and was setting up my tripod when a big merc comes diagonally up to me, against my driver door. He then asked me 'What the **** do you think you are doing?, coming through here so fast, what if there was a child in the road?' I replied, 'I was not going fast, the car is loud at any speed honestly.' Angry man:'You were flying past!'and went on a bit more at me, I then asked him to mind his own business and that it was only a bit of noise, he rambled on, I stared at him till he got bored and drove off.. I understood his concern about pedestrians, but obviously I would not have made a lot of noise if I had seen pedestrians. It was literally a tap of the throttle for about 2 seconds! I am an extremely careful driver, and very rarely speed, which is probably why it annoyed me quite a bit! Wished my mate was still recording, just in case he tried anything! This is the first time I have ever been confronted in such a way, Im not sure if it is because I am so young (19), would he have reacted the same if I was 30+? Who knows!
  9. Is it a tapping sensation on the brake pedal? If so it could be the ABS rings, they may be in bits. Or it could just be the ABS sensor.. only hazarding a guess from previous experience.. I cannot speak for your second issue though!
  10. Were you travelling with the blue 370 by any chance? Or was the pot luck
  11. I was heading out of Whitely, in my silver 350, got a wave from both! My mother sat next to me did not understand!
  12. Youngest Z owner?
