  1. Hello and welcome to the club

     

    Surprised you got the roof to fold with these temperatures.

     

    Cobra exhaust sounds good with a roadster.Drove around Normandy last year in my previous Zed roadster and woke a lot of frogs up !

     

    I've had the roof down quite a few times in the last couple of days with no issues. Is it normally a problem in cold weather?

     

    I'll check out the Cobra exhausts, thanks.

    I've been trying to find the right car for me for almost a month now. Yesterday I bought a 2006 roadster in a private sale, in very good condition at a great price.

     

    I did a 70 mile drive this morning, wrapped up well and with the roof down. What a fabulous drive! The car is great and I can't think of anything else that would rival a 350 for value for money. The exhaust noise with the roof off is addictive; so much so that I'm already considering a sportier exhaust system.

     

    I'm glad that I followed my heart, rather than my head and bought a roadster. It was a close call but I'm in no doubt now that I made the right choice.

     

    I plan to book it into somewhere like Japex, as it has an MOT advisory for a rear suspension bush. It's also due a service.

     

    Thanks to everyone on here who provided advice and guidance to me before I bought this car.

  3. Had a more detailed look at the pictures and some of the shut lines just don't look right to me. Difficult to tell I know from pictures and the drivers door might be open slightly? Plus, why no pictures of the passenger side?

     

    Agree. The shutline on the front of the bonnet doesn't look even and I was also worried about the door...

  4. Personaly wouldn't risk it

    it would take the fun away from owning it if it turned out to be a rotten one

    get a very nice late 350 for that money aswell

     

    Yes, I've been looking at 350s but this was so cheap that I was tempted...

  5. Make sure the V5 states this and that its been inspected and passed. I bought a CAT D mini cooper for the missus. It had a door and cill damage when catogorised. Chap had it repaired through BMW. She said it was the best car he'd ever had. Upshot - if ya happy with buying one, buy one to keep and not to sell on and make a buck or too.

     

    Incidently is cill spelled cill or sill?? can never get this one right lol crap at spelling anyway.

     

    Does it have to be 'officially' approved after a Cat D repair? Who can do this?

     

    (I think it's 'sill'...)

  6. Hi

     

    Hopefully in the next few days I'll be a Zed owner. I've got a few roadsters on my shopping list that I'll be looking at.

     

    I have a budget of £7500-8000 and ideally I'm looking for an '06 model 300.

     

    One question that I have- is there a big difference in how the car drives, comparing the 276 BHP models, the 300 and the 313 versions?

     

    Thanks in advance for your comments
