Squee Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Saw a heavily modded silver import at the fountains roundabout in Chester at about 2.45pm today (Sat 2nd July) with MASSIVE whale tail wing. S. Quote
Ricey Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I think Jetsets 'spotted' him a couple of times - never to any avail. I saw a silver one today driving passed the Shell garage in Vicars Cross Quote
Squee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 I think Jetsets 'spotted' him a couple of times - never to any avail. I saw a silver one today driving passed the Shell garage in Vicars Cross There's one that lives opposite the Peacock pub (boughton) I've seen a few times, again an import. Don't want to be slating anyone on this forum but the modded one I saw looked pretty daft with the bigg-ass spoiler. Nice rims though I'm hoping to put the deposit for 'mine' down on Monday so will hopefully get a wave from you soon Ricey I'm in Waverton by the way. S. Quote

I used to live in the Blackdog in Waverton for about 10 years. There are a few in Chester that aren't on the forum. I'm fairly sure the one in Chester that your on about has a failside spoiler....was it looking a bit like this? Quote
Squee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 good lad! Hahaha, I should probs correct you there as I'm a bird but thanks, can't wait to get my mits on it! Wow - living in the Blackdog sounds pretty fun - don't go there too much but I'm told quiz night is good. The shape of the spoiler itself was kinda like that yeah but it was supported by a big central column if that makes sense? S. Quote

Living in a pub is a living hell as anyone who has ever lived in a pub will tell you! 24/7 work......lucky for me I was only a nipper so I didn't have to do anything! I know what you mean - like the old Escort whale tail.......never seen one on a Zed though Quote

Yeah, I've seen this one twice both times in Saltney, Veilside front end. Can't for sure say what sort of spoiler is on the rear, as it was coming towards me both times I spotted it. Only thing I did spot in my rear view mirror was that it had a rear bumper like the one below....it's the yellow one in the distance (Chesterfield's car) best photo I could find in a 5 minute search Pete Quote
Squee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 Living in a pub is a living hell as anyone who has ever lived in a pub will tell you! 24/7 work......lucky for me I was only a nipper so I didn't have to do anything! To be fair I can imagine running a pub is horrendous what with twunts of customers and the triple twunts of the breweries! I know what you mean - like the old Escort whale tail.......never seen one on a Zed though ...don't think you'd want to see one either! JetSet - yep, it did have one of those rear bumpers on. The fugly spoiler came up far too high which didn't suit the shape of a Zed in my opinion. You say you've seen him in Saltney - I'm led to believe that the owner of Saltney tyres has a Zed so perhaps this was him? S. Quote
JetSet Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Yes, it would seem that you are correct, there's a Silver Zed parked outside there but it isn't the same one unless he's modded it since then http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl= ... wQnwIoADAA The latest google map shows a Boxster parked outside there, could be a customers car.....but I've visited that small industrial site several times in the last few months, there's a wheel refurb company 2 doors away, and didn't see any sign of a Zed there. The mystery deepens Pete Quote
Squee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 I like your work JetSet! A part-time private detective! Can any of you old hands tell from the pic if that's an import? The one I saw today defo was. I was kinda hoping Mr Saltney Tyres might have been a forum member doing cheapies for fellow Zed owners but if not I guess I'll stick with tried and tested Buckley Tyres which I'm sure you use JetSet! S. Quote

S. No way of telling if its an import, but I can tell from the rear lights that it's a pre facelift model . I've used Buckley tyres since the 80's, best service and prices for miles Pete Quote
bronzee Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 good lad! Hahaha, I should probs correct you there as I'm a bird but thanks, Yay, off topic for the spotted, but yay, another Sprinkle/female forum member. There's not that many of us. But the numbers are growing. Now back on topic. Quote

Fodder Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I think I know the one you're referring to, if the reg ends in STS i do know of it. I also dont like over the top spoliers Oh and I'll try and wave if i spot you... azure roadster Quote
Squee Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 Cheers Bronzee - we'll be taking over the place soon aye? Fodder - the heavily modded Zed I saw was a private plate - I'm quite sure that started with a 'W' and had a couple of 'S' so yep, it's probs the same bloke. I'm looking forward to the wave by the way! I think we can also assume that it must be the fella from Saltney Tyre Services if it had STS on the plate - I'm loving this communal detective work S. Quote
Fodder Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah i'm not sure it has a W though... thats the one i thought you meant. I spoke to him about a year back seemed like a nice bloke Quote
