BTD Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello!! Only had mine for 48hrs, it's great!! . My mate is thinking of a TVR so any views on the differences would be very interesting indeed. Get the discount codes from the mods/admins if you are going to get any accessories, it is WELL WORTH IT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 At least in a Zed in this weather you can enjoy it. TVR would be another matter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Congratulations on a great car! I still take it easy during rain, especially as I'm still on the standard Pontenza's (for 2 more weeks). But otherwise, it's a extreme fun car to drive! Let us know how you think it compares to a TVR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get one Digsy , but keep the Zed as well if you need to actually go anywhere.. everyone I know whose owned a TVR says the same thing about the TVR experience "its soo nice when its over "" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milu Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 morning all. yes i bought the car in the link off pistonheads. cars great,nice and smooth,quite grunty(obviously not as quick as my TVR but easier to use the power you have). had CD issues already,ill keep an eye on it. as for differences,the TVR's are pretty raw compared to other cars but still great fun to drive and be in, and of course sound great,but the Zed is just as nice if for slightly different reasons. incidentally TVR's are not as unreliable as many think/hear,ive had four(wedge,cerbera,tuscan,T350T)and never had a major issue. my T350 will be missed,but you cant complain too much when you have a nice Zed to replace it. cheers for the welcomes mike.

M13KYF Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 why did you decide to sell the T350. Really like the car when they came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 why did you decide to sell the T350. Really like the car when they came out. yeah I managed to blag a test ride when they came out..... loved it! Just couldn't afford it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
