No offence, mate, but he hasn't tried too hard with his PH ad. If he wants to sell at that price in this market he needs to put the effort in.

Nice job, Jim. Does anyone remember the guy who had the tan leather seats done on the old site? I've never seen that Zed again and wonder what happened to it.

Sake-bito, please do not spam other people for sale threads to promote your own.

Hi and welcome!

Just not true, Rob. From last month's EVO's choices:- Supermini - Fiat Panda 100HP Hot Hatch - Megane R26 Small Coupe - Zed Sports Saloon - M3 Big Saloon - M5 4X4/Estates - M5 Touring Sports Cars - Boxster Coupes/GTs - GT-R Convertibles - XKR Supercars - Ferrari 599GTB IIRC their best handling FWD car was a Teg. I could go on.... Without going back and looking at other cars they include in the categories, I'm not sure what the summaries mean. But 30% of them go to BMW, so I'm not wrong there! I am referring to the articles themselves, and the constant references to '3 series' this and '911' that. Just as I find it. I love cars with a passion, but I just find their reviews predictable. Rather less predictable of late - R8 trumps 911, GT-R trumps R8... I suspect the BMWs are there because they are the best in class. Clearly you don't like the mag and that's fine but there really isn't a German/overpriced bias beyond the fact that the Germans make a lot of mighty fine cars. Maybe you have an anti-German bias...

The lads a natural at this presenting lark.

I've owned a car that cost nearly 5 times a MY03 zed when new and had nearly twice as much power. I still love the zed and will buy a third in the non too distant future. Anyone with a braincell knows that the two are not comparable. You can't compare it to cars outside of its price and performance range. Compared to a Carrera GT, its crap. Compared to a Saxo, its amazing. He is a complete ****. He may not like it but he has no journalistic objectivity and is obviously trying to engineer a bit of notoriety. There are people on that thread slating the zed because there is one for £8k, what a load of @*!#. I was offered a Ferrari 360 last week (with 100k on the clock) for £20k, does that mean the rest are the worst cars in the world and lead to financial suicide? No. The bloke is a total knob imo. TBH I've never heard of his online mag before and having read that I won't be looking it up in a hurry. If he was any good he would be writing for a published magazine, what a ****. Not strictly true - check out the team behind Drivers Republic.

Hi Frank! Glad you remembered us and enjoyed the meet. These sites aren't mutually exclusive as some would have you believe.....

Well I am extremely jealous of you guys. I'm gutted that I missed out on this one. The photos are stunning and huge respect to Stew (ably assisted by Martin) for pulling together such a great meet. Please, please, please organise another one before my car goes back next July....

Ok, the guy doesn't like the Zed but the suggestion that its the worst handling car he's ever driven is just a rather poor attempt to be Clarkson-controversial. But then he gets uptight because people question its credibility...

I expect it to worth the wait!

Mine's on 10.0 mpg...

They lost me a long time ago and this sort of farce is hardly enticing me back....

No probs but it did take me a second to work out what you were on about!

Price changed.

Have you got proper Recaro seat brackets, Mark?

Most importantly the mike and what its recorded on make a huge difference. Also bear in mind that you'll be inside the car and not sitting two feet from the tailpipes. Best way is to get to a meet and get a ride inside some cars. The only real way to test out a zorst IMHO. On the other hand if you can stretch to £850 the Nismo seems to be loved by 99% of people who buy it, so could be a safe choice.

A Force? Ordinary 'A-Force' Harrison. Oh, Audrey!

Sorry I asked now...

Your car should certainly know its way round! I challenge you not to enjoy it.
