FYI - this used to be my car - it actually isn't standard - it has a Milltek cat back and "]high-flow 200cell cats from Topgear.

Hey all,

Sadly I had to sell my Zed last week, so EA04 UDZ - Gunmetal Grey, GT pack, Manual UK Car went to a trader in York after an unsuccessful month advertised on Pistonheads.

If anyone spots her for sale at auction or with a detail, PM me and I'll tell you all about the last year of ownership in my hands.

It's been sad to see it go, and nothing will replace the awesome noise she makes with a full Milltek and high flow Sports Cats.

Whoever buys her next enjoy, and I hope it's someone on here or someone who joins up.

I'll have another one down the line, that's a given.

PS - Get rid of Eddie Jordan asap - his personality clashes with the rest and it makes for cringeworthy viewing.

Chris Harris will save this show in my view. I actually really like Matt LeBlanc too.

I think the show was between a rock and a hard place. If the Beeb had totally changed the format, and then swapped all the presenters, but still called it 'Top Gear' they would have been slated just as much by people saying 'it's just not how Top Gear should be.'

For what it's worth I'm glad we now (or soon will) have two decent car shows, and I hope the new TG is given a chance and not 'panic cancelled' due to dropping ratings.

Adding in Extra Gear can only get better, and the new TG team will find their feet and evolve the format gently if given the opportunity.

Clarkson, Hammond and May will fall on their feet with Amazon, because their brand is driven by their personalities. The show will be more petrolhead orientate comedy than car weekly I reckon.

@gangzoom - I see you didn't go for the Autopilot...

Having the car change lanes on a motorway without your hands on the wheel not to your taste ha ha

I liked the big screen in practice - turns out it wasn't too distracting, and in only a 45 min drive I got used to flicking quickly through the settings and options for steering wheel feel and stuff.

Oh and by the way - the rate rebates for buying through a business are crazily good at the moment - entire first year leasing payments back up to £20k...

Fabulous - I drove one last week, as I've got my £1000 down for one of the Model 3's. Brilliant car, great to drive. Not a replacement for the Zed tho...

Nice guide - thanks.

This is an unusual scenario it seems. Normally people seem to find a drop in volume. What phone are you connecting, just out of interest?

Hows the volume - did you use a PAC line converter?

Hi All,

Please could I have some recommendations from people who have used any of the various wheel refurbing companies in and around York.

I'd like to get mine done soonish.

Cheers

Chris

Keiran_ctr - I have to say your Zed looks phenomenal. Lots of effort gone on that one!

I'm near Malton, North Yorks.

Hi - if they aren't sold, I'll take them. PM me to do the business - I tried to PM you but you can't receive any more messages lol. inundated with buyers! Chris

Thanks All!

Have some pics, taken in full 'Brand new Z Geek' Mode.

Hi All,

Joined up as I've finally bought a 350z after months of deliberation about 'which car' and then 'which z'.

After a few viewings I have a gunmetal grey 04 completely standard 58000 miler with GT pack.

Got it yesterday and used a full tank of ultimate travelling through the back roads of North Notts countryside, into Humberside and then through York and out into the moors.

All I can say is...

I laughed hysterically to myself after my first overtake in which I left the same amount of room and judged it as if I was in my Audi A4 2.0TFSI. Completely unnecessary length of road and time / gap allowed!

Love this car.

Oh and feel free to correct me on the colour with its official name!

Cheers

Chris
