steve3000 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Bad luck on the job. Our company announced today they're getting rid of half the people on my site - we'll find out who in the last week of December... Hope you can find a way to keep the car, looks awesome! Steve Quote
Ebized Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Very sorry to hear your news and especially after the work and money you have put in your car . Someone is going to get a bargain and having seen how you have added some quality mods to it. But sure you havn't got a rich aunt of something who might 'sponsor' you for the £5k urgently needed so you can keep it and when you get another job she can have the money back Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 good luck to you buddy.i feel for everyone at the moment that's getting made redundant. chin up. hopefully the same if not better paid job is just around the corne. ho Quote
Chris`I Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Those ESR stickers must be worth £5k in advertising Quote
Beavis Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Sorry to hear this I think alot more will be loosing jobs before long Quote
Z Boy Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. Sent about 50 CV's for various jobs today and put loads of crap I don't need on eBay. I'm doing everything I can to keep it but it's not looking good. I think if it ends up going I'll end up with an S15 or something unless I end up doing a deal with somebodys Z on here. Quote

I think if it ends up going I'll end up with an S15 or something unless I end up doing a deal with somebodys Z on here. *slap* Sorry, you need that. I know you are upset about loosing job, and poss having to getting rid of the Zed, but there is no need to go crazy and get an S15! The're hideous! Quote
Z Boy Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 I quite like them, it's RWD, a Nissan, light and agile, turbo, tunable...ticks all the boxes? I can't downgrade too much, it's depressing enough as it is losing the Zed let alone having to roll around in a Micra or something. Quote
Lexx Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Get an S14a. At least they dont look like they had a fight with a tin opener! Quote
Maccaman Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 So sorry to hear your bad news. Like so many have said you could be fortunate & land a decent job quickly & then the situation would all change. Of course we dont know your circumstances. What is really sad is to see someone who has put so much into his car (even on top of what was already done) having to make such decisions. Hope everything turns out well for you. Quote
Jay Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Get an S14a. At least they dont look like they had a fight with a tin opener! Zboy surely a triptronic zed is better than no zed! Quote
hotrain69 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 really sorry to hear about the job buddy. best of luck with the future. i would be really interested in a months time, only have 12.5k at the moment. but i know you cant wait that long. i'm as disappointed as you believe me. you have an amazing car there. hopefully you will be able to keep it. wish i could be the one to take it off your hands, but unfortunately unlikely for another month.

p1tse Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 very nicely modded, seen pics from other threads and looks ace Quote
Digsy Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Terrible news Zboy - you're not the first and I doubt you'll be the last. Hope something else crops up soon. Quote
AK350Z Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Really feeling for you fella. I lost my job a couple of weeks ago (albeit not for credit crunch reasons) but i have enough savings and my GF gets enough for us not to sell our zeddy (just). Hope you get by ok, there's a lot more opertunity down your way than there is up here in the sticks. I'm currently labouring for my mates dads scafolding company! Quote
bronzee Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. Sent about 50 CV's for various jobs today and put loads of crap I don't need on eBay. I'm doing everything I can to keep it but it's not looking good. First rule, start thinking in a more positive manner. You will find another job really soon. Now what we want to see you posting in the next few days, hooked myself a new job. Quote
ARphotographs Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 You could do jay's deal, it means you have money to buy yourself time, plus you still have a zed, yeh its a tripbox, but you can still have fun without the left leg exercise, put the left leg into practising braking! i know he really wants your car!

cfoster Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 lol, oh dear!!!! So your the one to blame for them??!!!!!!!!!! Actually they are ok!!!!! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Didnt install them, we didnt win that job.... just provided some of the people to show you how to use them!! Quote
Ross Mac Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Mate really sorry to hear that your Z has to go. I know exactly how you are feeling at the moment as I made the decision to sell mine a couple of months ago My job is now safe (well as safe as it can be in finance) but still looking to economise a little bit and unfortunatley the car is the luxury that costs the most. Im sure yours wont hang around for long. Good luck in the job hunt too Quote
Z Boy Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 £14,750!!!!! Surely someone is gonna buy it at this price? The mods alone are worth over 10k! Quote
