d95gas Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi everyone, Just joined the forum as I am looking to move onto another jap motor away from my current trusty MR2 Turbo, which had just undergone and expensive full renovation. Always had an eye for the Zed and found myself more than casually looking at them over the last month or so. Been with the Mr2 for probably 10yrs now, so maybe its time for a move. Despite having a healthy interest in the Zed, I've not been fortunate to test drive or even get a good nosey around one, so I'm hoping there maybe someone in the North East (Darlington area), who might assist in that objective. I'm already talking to a couple of guys who have Zed's for sale, but unfortunately they are well down the country. I would just like to satisfy my lust for the Zed to put my mind at ease before I go too far and do something I could potentially regret. I look forward to getting involved with the group Many thanks Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OV53 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Alreet! With regards to your quest for a test drive, I'm in Sunderland like and you can have a go but bear in mind that my cats are blowing so it will be hellishly louder than what you will buy. But it will give you an idea of what it is like to drive, just don't be put off by the slight shabbiness of my pride and joy as it is a work in progress, she's kind of like a rescue dog! I'm home on the weekend so gimme a shout if ya wanna hook up at a halfway point to go for a blast. Phil Do it nice or do it twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OV53 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Swapping the cats out on Saturday morning so you will be able to have a play with something a bit more realistic if you're about. Do it nice or do it twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d95gas Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome guys, been having a good read through the forum pages and everyone sounds great, very helpful and an all round good crowd. OV53 YPA I will give you a shout and make my way over to Sunderland, will be good to get a taste of what the zed is like.....something I always loved the look of. I think after 10yrs married to the 2 its time to let her go to a new owner, and let a new chapter of my life start :-) with Zed ownership. I'll drop you a pm once I have sorted out where the heck in the country I will be this week. I am usually based over at Durham Tees Valley Airport, but do travel a lot with work.
