E15-Zed Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Hey all, Picked up my Zed today , straight to a mechanic for new tyres, brakes, and a decent service with the detailing to come at the weekend. I'm based in colourful East London so am currently researching the idea of renting an off-road parking space for it as a bit worried about damage on my double-parked street (and am doubly precious about the local hooded community leaving their mark on it). It's my first motor in two years since selling my Golf Gti. Apart from Green Pedal and Red Pedal my knowledge of cars is appalling so hoping I'll pick up some tips on here (already found some reviews so have Falken tyres going on tomorrow - £100 a piece fitted and getting all four done as per Dan's recommendation). Found a bit of a diamond used model, will post some pics after the paintwork gets some loving at the weekend. Can see this is going to become an expensive but fun hobby! Oh well less money to spend on G Quote

Clown Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I work in North Greenwich so just over the river. There are a few Londoners who meet up in Croydon every so often if you feel like that. We had an Ace Cafe meet once too. Quote
