BennyH Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hello! Have just had finance approved on a Z. Am due to pick it up on Monday evening am losing sleep as am so excited. I'm currently driving an 02 plate 1.4L Renault Megane but having always dreamt of owning a sports car: am now on the verge of it. Have been following some of the threads on the forum as a guest and it's been invaluable but didn't want to tempt fate and join until everything was cleared with the car etc. It's a GT with 13500 miles and seems to be well equipped. Managed to get a cheeky pic while dropping off documents at the garage. Will let you know how I get on once I've picked it up.... Quote
Beavis Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 to the forum, get some pics up when you get her. Quote
martinmac Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Welcome to the forum bud. Its going to be a long few days. A bit of advice for any new owner, just take it easy until you get used to it, they can catch you out especially if its a bit damp. The car looks great. Quote
BennyH Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 Welcome to the forum bud. Its going to be a long few days. A bit of advice for any new owner, just take it easy until you get used to it, they can catch you out especially if its a bit damp. The car looks great. It'll be a step up of > 200 bhp on my old car. I Was bricking it during the test drive but found it more forgiving than I expected. Still, will be taking it seriously easy... Quote
martinmac Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Nice one. Nixy is organising a little meet not too far away from you in the near future.. Check out the "Yorkshire" regional are on the forum. Quote
BennyH Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 Just realised clocks go back this weekend so that's another hour to wait. And I'm working long days all weekend. Quote
jerry3167 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hello and welcome to the club! Big jump in performance coming from a 1.4 renault to the Zed As said before, drive it gently and get used to the power delivery especially if its damp or wet! Rear wheel drive is a whole new ballgame compared to front wheel drive Quote
clarkie34 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Congrats,car looks mint low milage too. Quote
Maccaman Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Just be gentle with the loud pedal until you get used to the extra power & RWD. Quote
Zednick666 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 to the club bud, car looks good choice of colour Where bouts in West Yorks are ya? Quote
bronzee Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Welcome to the forum. Nice low mileage Zed you've found. Enjoy Monday. Quote
Shuck Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 to the club Benny. As many others have said, nice and easy on the noisy pedal, especially on roundabouts. Whatever you do, don't take the traction control off! Quote
