  1. Morecombe and Wise making breakfast to the stripper ! Don't chop grapefruit that way, it is very one sided
  2. Your score is: 14 out of 20 If your score is higher than 10.25, you are smarter than the average participant! 10648 participants have answered the quiz so far. Your Clarkson IQ is 120 The average Clarkson IQ is 101.2 Not sure what this says. I know more than average about Clarkson but less than IQ (dream dream dream), yet I did buy a Zed, I'd buy another one as well.
  3. That's the one ! That makes better reading than my memory, well tracked down ! What on earth possessed the guy ? I wonder what he drove ?
  4. Several people in Audi's (at Marksbury) and in bath gave thumbs up and flashes today. Approving ? Jealous ? or just understanding car owners ? Loving this car !!!!
  5. Excellent choice ! Welcome, nut house ? clearly not all have Zed's !
  6. Welcome ! Awesome pics and great polish, any tips ? Living in Somerset it can get a bit a muddy down here
  7. Black, who was ahead of their time then ! Shiny, I am doubting with that paint quality at that time you are going to be impressed with what the current Z does in comparison.
  8. Welcome ! Nice looking Rex, kind of PZ without the numbing suspension. My opinion is GT pack is required. look for clumsy feet that can scuff door panel, earlier leather can get denim stud tears, check tyres are right type (tends to show owner understood what they had), not suer how to check how thrashed or tracked a car has been, London cars tend to have more dents in panels than most although dent specialists are £25-50 per panel to remove. Enjoy, you'll like the access to quicker power, but may find the dash of a lesser finish, but then you'll be watching the road more
  9. Big welcome ! Lovely looking cars over the years those Alfas, more recent are getting more reliable. Welcome to back to Zed's ! 260 so my guess is either white or red?
  10. Brilliant ! javascript:emoticon(':lol:') LOL Always love these awards, been going for sometime. Still like the guy who attached a lot of weather balloons to his chair in his back yard and when he cut the anchor rope he shot up and levelled out at 9,000 ft. Or something like that.
  11. Having just done something similar and ended up buying a Zed, my thinking went along the lines; TT to common and based on experience of the bi-turbo avant I have for load lugging (albeit quickly) too many electrical problems and pricey servicing, drive wise not exciting enough. S2000 - really fun above 6000 rpm but too noisey to live with unless you keep GT top on all year, instrument panel a bit old / boring. RX-8 - found this curious with flat torque in high rev range but to respond to any thing you had to have it pre-wound up, I thought best dash quality of them, decent Bose system and that little extra practicality, reasonably comfortable ride. Oil topping up every 1500 miles would be a pain as it has small sump to start with and that rotary engine uses oil. fuel consumption low 20's if you're lucky according to a few people I know who've had them. 350z - instantly liked this, accessable power, better engine sound, enough practicality for living with (but then have an estate as well), dash quality not the best but fine enough, GT pack seems nearly essential to protect residuals. Having had one a little over a week now, easy to live with on long runs easy to have a rear wiggle when you want especially in this weather and people do look even though the design has been around for a bit. Servicing costs seem reasonable and I'm averaging just over 26mpg (the long runs on cruise control help). Nissan dealers though are a long way behind the Lexus ones I'm used to dealing with and even the Audi one. OK - I'm no car reviewer but would do same buying choice again.
  12. You lot are fast repliers, thanks for welcome. Two pics I took on way home on mobile phone, as I guessed the question would be raised. So one grubby car. Let's see if I attach them successfully, having had to resize Think would have to see those scuff plates before commiting, stubby sounds good start, time to hunt them down. [/img] An Oirish Story told to me by an Aussie who has an Irish passport and 2 others. An Irishman goes to the Doctor with botty problems.... 'Dactor, it's me ahrse. I'd loik ya ta teyhk a look, if ya woot'. So the doctor gets him to drop his pants and takes a look. 'Incredible'he says, 'there is a £20 note lodged up here.' Tentatively he eases the twenty out of the man's bottom, and then a £10 pound note appears. 'This is amazing!'exclaims the Doctor. ''What do you want me to do?' 'Well fur gadness sake teyhk it out, man! 'shrieks the patient. The doctor pulls out the tenner and another twenty appears, and another and another and another, etc..... Finally the last note comes out and no more appear. 'Ah Dactor, tank ya koindly, dat's moch batter. Just out of interest, how moch was in dare den?' The Doctor counts the pile of cash and says '£1,999 exactly.' 'Ah, dat'd be roit,'' says the Irishman (Wait for it...........scroll down.) 'I knew I wasn't feeling two grand..'
  13. Hi, I decided to get a fun car that wasn't too expensive that looked good, sounded nice and was fun to drive when I felt like it. Ended up buying 54Reg GM, GT Pack, Parking sensors with 8.5k on clock with a chip on the bonnet for what I thought was a good price plenty under 17k, UK car and all HPI'd etc. etc. Plenty of things in favour of other potential car choices but Zed definitely had it and having driven it too from different offices on 100+ miles each way already it is fine to live with and you can always have a little bit of grin when you want to. Beginning to learn the car but not too quickly in this frosty / wet weather, rear hatch catch gets filthy (my irritation so far with the car). What I'm beginning to wonder is what to I change, I'll leave the techie power bits for a while. I've been wondering about screen sat / nav / other systems that fit well, gear knob, scuff plates etc. Last car had blue LED's in scuff plates that lit up when doors open (still liked them 4 years after putting them in). Anyway, Hi, to all and already read some fun and informed chats around the place.
