spursmaddave Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) To the Zed Shed guys & girls yet again.... I set out at 06:45 yesterday morning and met a certain Will370z at Fleet Services and arrived at the Zed Shed at about 09:45... The plan was to swap my LED lights with some standard ones, the LEDs were going on Matts car and cash my way Then Chris/Bob/Kim (mostly Kim) were changing my Rays/Milltek/Berks and Zspeed undertray for OEM wheels, OEM exhaust and refitting my OEM undertray, all the above going to Chris (for Kims Zed) except the exhaust and again cash my way Well..... I kind of knew what kind of days it was going to be when after 5 minutes Chris showed Will & myself the wrecked black Zed and by the time we has walked round it Kim & Bob had my rear lights changed, these guys do NOT hang about! As the day went on they proceeded to remove, with great skill (and a few war wounds) anything and everything that wasn't standard from my Zed... As bits came off and others arrived basically everything got snapped up, showing that if you tastefully mod with good quality stuff it still has a value, that and the fact that I was happy to price stuff up reasonable as I am that kind of guy, I was just glad the stuff is going to people who love Zeds and will appreciate and care for them.... Then came a big shock....... Bob asked what I would be looking for for the Zed, so I told him what I had been offered/was expecting part/ex on Marys new MX-5 and we did a deal Soooooooo my old girl will be Netti's new baby, and I can hand on heart honestly say I couldn't hope for a better new owner or better home So I started the day hoping to get my Zed back to basics and ended up selling everything practically including the car!!!! Just need to find an MX-5, get all the paper back from the DVLC as the private plate is coming off and Netti will be getting the train down to Kent and going home in a Zed It will be a quiet drive home with an OEM exhaust and a non working Bose but...... I know a very nice man who can fix both of those, you might know him too he shares your bed Thanks again, you honestly couldn't wish for a family (inc Bob & Nessi) who are more friendly, welcoming, warm, funny, hard working, knowledgable and of course vulturous Great seeing the rest of you guys yesterday especially those that helped fill my wallet, don't worry it will going on all things Jaaaaaaaaaag Pics to follow although I didn't take many Edited June 9, 2013 by spursmaddave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Pass on a big congrats to mary. Looks like netti will be in the zed sooner than anticipated lol Just waiting on the DVLA, if I hadn't sent off all the paperwork to swap my private plate from Jag to Zed we could be doing it a lot quicker !!! All the local DVLA places are closung down so even though I went in person they just send it all to Swansea now anyway, you used to be able to get your new Tax disc and paperwork straight away so you could get your plates done and sorted, not anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
