Slightly worried about the insurance issue on this... I’ve currently got a 6 month warranty so will get the car checked before it ends at cougar and get them to pull it and replace with a blown one at that time.

10 minutes ago, HEADPHONES said:Happy birthday and congratulations on the new arrival.

Nissan definitely had a good eye for wheel design when they made the rims for the 370z.

Looks like you have a soft spot for convertibles with the Mini sat alongside.

We've had our Mini Cooper for 15 years and love ours to bits.

I'm not sure if it's the same for the roadster as the coupe, but many owners pulled the fuse for the steering lock mechanism as it would prevent a more costly repair if it failed.

Happy zed ownership and by the way, that grin doesn't go away. In years to come you'll still have the same grin every time

Thanks.

Love the wheels, think being slightly darker they set the Pearl white off  beautifully.

Open top love started with a Volvo C70, got the mini 2 years ago after agreeing a price on a 370 but not putting a deposit down and it being sold next day.

hoping my son buys the mini when he finishes Uni, would be a shame to sell it but my wife wants the ‘s’ literally just for the bonnet scoop 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s always summer with the heaters and seats on 😛

12 degrees is my cut off point but I do own coats.

Replaced the massive aerial as it hit the garage door. No other plans, still under 15k mileage so would like to keep it standard.

I quite like the fact its quiet, suits a 50 yo better but I can see why that’s the first thing many people change and I would have done a few years ago.

Maybe if something need replacing I’ll go aftermarket but no budget for swapping usable working parts for a while.

Needed a reason to get one...😛 getting old seemed reasonable.

Well she’s home 🙌🏼 Quieter and much smoother than I expected but they don’t half move when you press the loud pedal don’t they..😂

I think it’s an after market mod.

pressing and holding the door handle button should work though.

Hi,

looking for a boot carpet for a 2011 roadster. 

I can only find coupe ones on the internet.
 

So, pick up agreed for Saturday. Going to p##s it down all day by the looks of it so that drive home should be fun.

can’t wait now, like a teenager with 2 dicks 😂

The aerial is in the middle of the boot?

That’s a dream version right there...

So, took the car for a test drive yesterday (Datsunitus/Zeditus 1 - COVID 0) 

As expected for the mileage, felt like new, smooth through the gears and quieter than I expected.

Just waiting for agreement on pick up/collection but will be a Zed owner by the bank holiday by the looks of it 🙌🏼

High mileage, don’t rush in unless you are a mechanic or know your stuff.

Worth a visit (if you can) but check some others out as well.

it’s taken me 2 years to find one.. there are some that look good online and terrible in the flesh.

Good luck with the search 👍🏼

 We’re always around Southwell walking the dog.

Cool, May bump into you at some

point as it looks like we’re in the same region.

Have you had any issues?

Hi, I've been looking for a Roadster for around 2 years now (sorry coupe purists) and finally found one worthy of my hard earned/saved cash.

The prices seem to have risen in that time by £1-3K unless the only ones available now are the better ones although a grey one that's currently for sale on the major car websites need 6 panels painting and the wheels refurbed for £13k.

I've got a 2011 pearl white with 15k on the clock waiting in the wings. It's fresh in from a collection in (nice warm) Guernsey and immaculate.

Looking forward to a drive after lockdown and ownership mid to late March.

Any information on what to look for would be greatly appreciated as although this car looks and feels new with its low mileage its pushing 10 years old so anything age related rather than mileage related may start to rear their ugly heads. Gallery gasket scares the bejesus out of me, what are the symptons, is it purely oil leaking?

Oh, and it will be kept standard as its only for summer weekends and UK touring.

I tried to buy the 2015 one, went striaght away. not seen another newer than 2012 and only seen one or two of them.
