Commander Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I was just driving the Zed to pick the g/f up from the train station when, in the oncoming traffic, I saw a lovely looking red zed from a distance... On first glance I thought it must have had a fair amount of body work done as it didn't look normal, but either way, I was impressed and was briefly looking forward to crawling a bit closer to it... when I got there though, it wasn't a Zed at all, it was actually a bog-standard (new shape at least) Audi TT! I didn't even laugh at myself, so ashamed was I that I couldn't even spot another of the very car I was driving!! Please don't ban me! 1 Quote

14N Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Since this is turning into a bit of a confession session, sometimes when catching a glimpse of a Toyota Celica heading in my direction, the shape of the headlights makes me believe its a Zed for a second or two. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 A lot of non petrol heads do mix up the tt and the zed, as they do with the mx5 and the s2000. Quote

I know what you mean, similar thing happened with me spotting a prius coming my way one day, they are kinda similar Quote

Harryjax Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I purchased a TT on the weekend for my son. When I took it for a test drive I was quite impressed. It stuck to the road well and plenty of poke for a 1.8 Turbo 225bhp. 1 Quote

Easy mistake, flashed a couple of Celica's . Pete Quote
cs2000 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 A lot of non petrol heads do mix up the tt and the zed, as they do with the mx5 and the s2000. These, from 20M away are essentially the exact same car. I love cars and even I struggle unless I get a good look at one! Il admit to quite liking the new shaped Audi TT's, but id never buy one. The old ones can burn in hell. I would have an R8 though... Quote

Easy mistake, flashed a couple of Celica's . Pete I've probably posted this before, but my dear son loves sitting in the passenger seat and saying, "Oh Dad look - there's a car like yours." as a Celica crawls past in the opposite direction, because he knows the reaction he'll get.

maddog1982 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I can go one worse......... Those new Peugeot roadster things, I catch a glimpse of one about to wave then die inside and want to drive into the nearest wall. Quote
