I saw a cherry/dark red Z between Harewood and Alwoodley on the Harrogate to Leeds road on friday afternoon and on saturday saw a red Z - reg BK Z something on the M621 heading out of Leeds towards the M62 - I flashed from behind but i was in my 206 DTurbo saving fuel!

Just a quick smoke question... Took new car to be out for test drive yesterday and 200 yards up the road got caught in traffic - the exhaust was chucking out loads of white smoke; thought a cloud had decended on me Little further on, after a short drive all was okay and never saw smoke for rest of 45 mins I was out... As the car ha been permantly in a showroom for the past month since getting off the boat is this kinda thing normal or what?

I have seen a few ZX in Derby....and Alvaston area!....One Black, One dark grey, 2 red one with aftermarket spoiler....which on eis yours?" I've been through Alvaston quite a few times....lovely roads and not too many cops out that way. My Z is UK spec, grey and is in stock form. What about yours? Z you around, Van

How does insurance work on a second car? Do you have to put it on a new policy or can you add it to your existing one. Driving my Z all the time is costing too much and I need a day driver to drive to uni, the pub, take away. Stuart

Very new member here; just in the last dying throws of purchasing my first zed! Looking for an operators manual for jap tt - worked out most things during test drives but auto box is still a mystery... I take it 'overdrive' puts the car into 4 wheel steer mode? What is the a/t button for? Any advise greatly appreciated Added since Paul's reply; Also wanted to know why does the zed I'm buying have only 105 MPH top speed showing on the UK dial conversion instead of 180!? And the boost dial shows +7 -7 instead of +14 -14.... I eagerly await you all waking from your beds [This message has been edited by T3RBO (edited 06-10-2001).]

Just come back fron new F1/indiy car movie that makes Fast & Fury look even more stupid than it was.All the hype for Fast& Fury and it was crap,yet Driven has no hype yet one race sene is beter than whole F & F film.The FXs are realy somthing else and all race senes have you on the edge of your seats,especialy the race through the city streets (unbelevebly fantastic).The acidents were amaising and so real,granted the story was only slightly above F&F but this was made up by everything else in yhe film.Strange but when i went to see F&F the cinima was full of disapointed custumers,but DRIVEN had a hand full of happy people,so what went wrong with the pr…

How reliable is S.E.'s engine work? I've heard (from you guys) that it's not exactly tip top! Who's had any bad (engine failure) experiences at S.E., and want's to spill the beans? I need a rebuild (new pistons) and want to know where there's a decent place (not too far from London) to get the work done. Any good ideas? Hope this post gets a few replies!!!
