  1. We're expecting our first one too in March, luckily we're already sorted on the vehicle side, wife has a Focus C-Max, and my van doesn't have a passenger airbag so baby seat can go in the front of there too. Little one won't be able to have a ride in the zed for a few years :( although I timed buying it perfectly as it was only 2 weeks before we found out she was pregnant!

  2. My 57 plate Vivaro van is my daily :)

     

    Another vote for a mk5 fiesta as a daily though, my Mum's had one for around 6 years and it's been brilliant, only things it's needed other than servicing are a new battery and a lambda sensor. Quite good fun to drive as well.

     

    Edit, just noticed you said about the insurance!

  3. Well that was a lot of fun! Zed's definitely make good track cars, in my opinion at least, definitely going to have some fun in this car!

     

    Car behaved itself perfectly in the morning, but then went into limp mode after I'd done 3 or 4 laps. Come into the pits to let it all cool down, then good for another 3 or 4 laps! :wacko: Drove home fine, put my code reader on it, and turns out there is a crank position sensor on it's way out. Was annoying, but certainly didn't spoil the day.

     

    Very impressed with it, love how flat it corners and how great the brakes are considering it's quite a hefty old thing :D

  4. This year ive been on Silverstone national and Rockingham infield, ive heard Combe is QUICK!! couple of 5th gear straights and not very wide either.

     

    28psi (cold) and you'll be fine B)

     

    Well, funny you should say that, I put 28 in my spare track tyres earlier as a kind of educated guess to start from so I'm glad you said that! :)

     

    Combe is definitely quick, and like you said quite narrow in places. Good thing is it's less than an hour from my house too!

  5. Got my first trackday in my zed tomorrow at Castle Combe :)

     

    Did loads in my old BMW so looking forward to seeing how they compare. It's pretty much standard, all I've done since I bought it is a full service, new ds2500's all round, braided hoses and ATE high boiling point fluid, with a spare set of wheels/tyres to take, should keep it going well all day hopefully!
