jimgallaher Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Just got the zed p3 service done for a good price, headed to town feeling good. I walked into the post office with paperwork in hand and I was mugged in broad daylight by a smiling assassin ! B*stard got away with £460 of my hard earned money, I ended up with a 3x3 piece of paper and the privilege of paying £137.9 for unleaded for 12 months. B*stard chancellor, b*stard government, it's made me seriously think of trading the zed in fir an oil burner. Quote
Ricey Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I'd enjoy it for a bit longer mate.............its only going to go one way so your less likely to ever own anything this powerful/expensive to run again. It is bloody criminal though. Quote

jimgallaher Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Don't I know it, was in Bodmin last month and a litre of unleaded was £1.27 in Asda. Then I brought the hire car back to Exeter airport and I was once again mugged, albeit by a very fit, French smiling assassin on the europcar desk for 10 litres of unleaded at £1.92 plus vat per litre, I'm getting the feeling the b*stards are out to get me Quote

Danny 350Z Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 It's a shame, isn't it. I've sold mine off the back of Tax and Petrol (and potential insurance upon move 'abroad'). Just an expensive toy. Unjustifiable to be honest.. Quote
SparksCW Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Just an expensive toy. Unjustifiable to be honest.. The recessions hitting and I'm struggling a bit (hopefully temporarily, who knows) but unfortunately I can /always/ justify keeping my toys shame really because everything would be so much more comfortable without the cost of the car !

Due to move every couple of years (employment) it doesn't make sense until we're grounded somewhere, to keep it. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Buy a shed and use it for work ......cuts costs all round if it's cheap enough to run/tax/insure ...... I used to spend £80 a week on fuel for the Zed ....... now I spend £25 a week on fuel for the Arosa and £50 a week for the DB9 ....... saving £5 a week ........ if anyone cuts me up when I'm in the Arosa, I give it back times 2 when I see them in the big car .... so I still get my kicks Quote

Not to mention all the un-neccessary bits I want for it Quote
