marzman Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Welcome mate. My mate has an 07 plate type r... and he's always looking at zeds on Piston Heads... but i wont let him get one Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 i'm in east anglia, and we do several meets if you'd like to come along, check the meet section to get your name down, also there are quite a few of us around down here, if you want someone to come and have a look at one with you you can always ask. i might be able to help depending on when and where it is etc, but there are others in the north of the region which might be closer to help.

Mate thanks, i will be sure to utilise your kind offer in the future, if your free of course. It was the 350Z or the Focus RS and the Zed seems like the better car. Thanks for all the help thus far fellas. Rick Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I had a Type R for about 3 months before I got my Zed. I didnt get on with it, to be honest I thought it was rubbish. You will know what im talking about when you get a Zed. You should be able to pick up a decent one with that much. Defo recommend you get one with GT pack then just the usual, average miles, full service history etc etc. Take your time, if your not buying yet then get out there and test drive a few, you will know if there shite or not once you have seen a few examples good luck Quote

Unfortunately i never attended any meets, i was pretty rubbish wne it came to that. Been looking around at more Zed's, even though it's not due until Xmas . I was wondering whats peoples thoughts were on the older Focus RS? It's a car i considered, but decided to go with the Zed. Thanks Quote
RobD7 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Hello mate, welcome to the site from yet another ex Type-R owner (had it 3.5 years and loved every moment) Quote
Banharj Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 Hello mate, welcome to the site from yet another ex Type-R owner (had it 3.5 years and loved every moment) Hi mate, nice Zed you have, lovely in white. I too, love the CTR and will be sad to see her go but if it means getting a 350Z then so-be-it. Quote
