martinmac Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hi bud, will get this in quick before I get slated I have a 55 plate non GT roadser and I love it. Its got 25k miles on and I was recently offered 18k to trade against a new one so the price is not bad. No issues wih roadsters especially and they are better than coupes anyway Not on days like this though. Welcome to the forum and enjoy. Stands back and waits for abuse Quote
M13KYF Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 go with what you fancy. No issues with either type of Z bar it's a bit more difficult to find a place to stick the forum sticker on a roadster by the way Quote
martinmac Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Just a few other bits worth a mention. The roadster is about 40k heavier than the coupe due to additional strengthening but it still performs You would not get bluetooth with a GT roadster anyway so no loss there. The boot on the roadster is smaller but if you half open the roof you will see that the roof storage compartment is quite big and can be used as occasional storage for hols etc. I have used the roadster in pretty foul weather and no issues there. In light rain the water goes over your head so if you get "caugh out" there is plenty of time to pull in and get the roof up, car must be stopped. Where abouts in the country are you bud. Quote
coolcol Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 i live in sleaford lincolnshire so weather is terrible at the mo iam going to take the car out for a spin 2nite about 4pm hopefully so hopefully the rain stops some1 as told me 2 check oil pressure on dash for reading what is a good reading for it Quote
M13KYF Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 On start-up until the car is warm the pressure will read between half-way and three-quarters on the gauge, between 60 and 90psi. When warm the gauge normally reads at the first, quarter-mark which is about 30psi. All down to partly what time of year. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 to the forum. That is quite high mileage for the age. If it's not your everyday transport then is shouldn't be an issue, if it is, then you will have to expect a fair drop in value if you pile the miles on. Quote
bronzee Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Welcome!! If drives well, is mechanically sound, go for it. Quote
AndySpak Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Was also going to say its got a few miles on it but if its OK and thats your budget then I still say go for it Quote
martinmac Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Bet you cant wait til Monday bud, dont forget to get some pics up and watch the bridgestones Quote
