Zzzz... Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 From tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a Gunmetal Alezan GT Specced 350 zed... It has taken it's time but finally the bullet has been bitten... Now then ... off to find which is the best Laser/Radar/Gatso detector... because I can see the speed limits will accidentally be broken one or two (many) times...accidentally, of course, but need to try and ensure I contain myself... Incontinence is a messy business... ANYWAY... hello everyone... you'll be seeing a bit more of me in future... Quote
captint Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Good call, welcome, nice to see you went for the best colour. Quote
mugwump Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Welcome and enjoy the Zed. In my experience Laser detectors are a waste of time (and I have the points to prove it!). If the thing goes off chances are its because you have just been illuminated and its too late. Changes to the Road Traffic act going through parliament are proposing to ban all forms of radar/laser detector and jammer. After that the only legal option will be a GPS based speed camera warning device which I can recommend. Of course if you like to live dangerously you probably want a pro-park http://www.brspecialtuning.co.uk/Propark.htm Quote
captint Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 A buddy of mine fitted a Jammer to a Maserati on Tuesday, although technically its a remote garage door opener, nudge nudge wink wink. Still can go wrong with a Road angel (until the Bandit Blair bans them) Quote
AndyC Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Zzzz...!!! Bet you didn't get too many of them zzz's last night did you? Ah well, good luck for today and enjoy Quote
monkfish Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 mate! Good choice of colour. Another of the Illuminati You should wear a man-size nappy for the first hundred miles or so to protect the leather. Also, don't get a laser detector. Collecting penalty points is fun!! Quote
Kennydies Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Welcome. I have a road angel, sits nicely on the center console inbetween the instruments. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Welcome to the forum and let the fun of Z ownership begin Quote
Chesterfield Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Hi and welcome. I dont have a speed detector, just rely on alert vision and a lighter right foot. Well tha or another member flashing me in my rear view and letting me know Im about to get caught (thanks Jacko). Quote

Zzzz... Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 the more I drive it the more I like it... it is amazing ... still getting to grips with grip issues, and the rain is helping... but now I am getting a good feel of what it likes and it doesn't... completely different experience from my FR wheel drive days... I think I need a track day or two to have a bit of a play in a "safe" environment and get more familiar with the capabilities of the car. Do you guys organise days out like this ? If so, I would be interested in hearing about it... Quote
