austin350z Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Can't wait to collect it tommorrow !!! Blade Silver 2005 Gt Pack With Rays Alloys Sold my elise S2 111s to get one hopefully won't be dissapointed the elise was too impractical in the end and the 350z has always been a favourite of mine About 2 years ago i nearly owned one but just couldn't afford one and ended up with an Audi TT which soon went. Live in the Solihull area Austin Quote
nurrish Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 My god another solihull zed owner!!! we are starting to take over!!!!! Where abouts in sol buddy? Quote
martinmac Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum. You will be very happy with your latest car choice. Look forward to seeing some pics Quote
Cragus Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Welcome Austin! Elise is a nice car, especially the 111s. My friend has the s1 111s with the 7-series rover engine. He has had alot of niggly problems with it but it can move and the noise of it makes your ears bleed. Am i right in saying the s2 Elise you sold has the 1.8vvti toyota engine? Anway, welcome and rest assured you will love the Zed! I think one of the main differences between the Zed and TT is that Zed owners are generally more manly .......girls not included in the above comment of course - I envisaged a rather angry nixy response coming.

Stew Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Welcome along. The Zed is a good compromise. It's far more practical than the elise. Quote
austin350z Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 yeah the elise isn't very practical, Cragus my S2 111s was the K series rover VVC one of the last ones before they switched to the toyota engine it was mod'd heavily by the preivious owner there was reciepts of £14,000 just for mods when i bought it !! Looking forward to getting started on the Z Quote
austin350z Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Now getting tommorow ( Damn insurance documents haven't arrive in post this morning ! ) Quote
bronzee Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Welcome to the forum Austin. You'll be surprised what you can fit into the back of the Zed, great for weekends away etc. Quote
greido Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Your Lotus looks great, what were the running costs like? - Did you have much/any trouble with it? Good luck with your Zed, I'm sure you'll love it. Quote
