Well its been a long time coming but on the premise that everything is as it should be and there isn't a spanner in the works I pick up brian's pentroof zed tomorrow. Probably the most droll topic created on these boards but I'm excited and thought I'd share :) . the fuel bill driving it from kent back home to sheffield may be a downer on festivities though ha

nice one bud, hope the drive goes well for you, get some pictures up once you get it home :D

cheers :) with any luck I'll be able to goad a few friends into going to rising sun on sunday and be sure to get some pics then :)

Good like with your buy mate, enjoy the ride home :)

if your coming up the m1, pop in if you like im only 7miles from J15

That's an awesome Zed you've bought. I'd be excited too. Nice one.

Happy days mate. As Daffy says that is an awesome Zed that you have bought. I've never seen another with the same bodykit.

 

Pics please!

thanks for the offer, if its not too much of an imposition and you haven't got any plans could you message me your number and I might take you up on that :)

 

cheers to everyone else for the kind comments too, as bad as this is at 22, tonights gonna drag I'm gonna be like a kid on christmas

I remember my first drive in my Zed,

 

I bought the car in Scotchland then had a 450 mile drive back home, it was a bit of a sweaty palmed affair, but I didn't even think about the cost of the fuel - I was too busy laughing every time I put my foot down!

 

Enjoy!

22!! I was 22 when I first wanted a Zed, i got mine last year when I was 34!!!!

Good luck i am sure fuel wont be that bad i drove mine from ireland to london :)

Thats why I'm considering it now because once i get in it I'll be comfortable in the knowledge my card's in my pocket and not give a rats, it'l be sweaty palms and brown pants ftw :laugh:

:) thing is now insurance is both a joke and a rip off and while i'd begrudge paying the £1500 quote i was given for a micra at my age and given the current fiasco in juxtaposition £2000 for a zed is a steal :) .... i imagine a few people on here might not agree with me on that note but i've made my peace with it and come to accept been a young driver and living in rotherham is just s**t :P

Congrats on the zed bud :clap: but take your time and get used to it , there,s alot of power waiting to catch you out , especially on bends :w00t::w00t:Enjoy !!!

Congrats on the new purchase, lovely zed you have bought, take care of her :wink:

:laugh: fortunately its not my first foray into the world of rwd and i like to think i'd be on the ball though jay has made me very aware that as soon when it comes to rain it will be out to kill me regardless of experience, all part of the fun :laugh: :laugh:

unlikely. i saw the diesel spills down his bmw. pure neglect to be honest....... :rofl:

 

pfft, thats been my mucky piece on the side ever since i twigged on insurance companies would let me near a zed :D

Fantastic news mate, you'll have to pop over in it! Cant wait to see it :)

 

Youll be smiling like a Cheshire Cat on the way home.

be wary of so called "zed experts" now living in Rotherham mate .....hes not trading now but might just offer his services or pop up like a bad penny ..........pm me and ill tell you all about it .....

Is this a former members car - or was it advertised on a national website?

 

I know what the pentroof bodykit looks like, but is this an actual tuners demo car?

 

I'm excited, pictures please!

When I bought mine I had to drive it back from Hythe - Kent up to Sunderland.

 

Tank and a half of juice for me so I reckon depending on the whereabouts in Kent it is, you'll probably use a tank depending on how heavy your right foot is lol.

Good luck with the purchase. I've not seen this Z in person, but I knew Brians previous Z very well, and it was a no expense spared well cared for example.

Isn't your car up for sale Insanezed?

 

Either that, or there is a very similar one on pistonheads.. Better check your missus doesn't have some home improvements planned!!

 

Cheers

Ah right, that one - thanks Yowser!

 

Not the body kit I was thinking of, but still a very unique car! 22 years old and buying that kinda motor - I really wish I knew where my life went so wrong.. I had a bike until I was 25 AND I had to pedal on the bloody thing...

 

Youth of today, eh!

 

You be careful young man! :wheelchair:

Get some picks up when you pick it up :yes: Sounds like you got a top motor . Just watch out for them pesky camera vans :innocent:

Sorry for been slack and not replying on here, really appreciate the kind words and driving it home was a fantastic experience.
