Not only for being top people but also for keeping schtum for so long.

 

Some weeks ago, I fell across a post here and got hooked. I've been a member since 2003 so I really should know better to look at things like that. But I did and the damage was done. I tried to fight it, sent emails trying to put it off, looked for the catch ... and failed.

 

I'd like to blame Mr F for saying that it was "delightful". I'd like to blame Gary Wilson for so kindly offering a lift to and from the airport. I'd like to blame Jeff and Zedworld for saying "yes, no problem" and above all I'd like to blame Sudesh for having the sense to snaffle his prizes from south of the border. And also Jon who was a good reference.

 

But actually, I have no-one to blame but myself and a coup de coeur (that's yer actual French, that is).

 

What am I on about? Well, I now need to sell my 2nd Zed because of this:

Oh dear. After I bought my 2nd Zed, I swore I would never buy another one. This is it*.

 

There is no way I would have been tempted into this without the help and expertise of fellow forum members so thanks, guys. Especially Gary who gave up his time at very short notice to schlep half the way across the province and back. Mr F's expert opinion was (and is) invaluable and Jeff / Jamie / Lynda at Zedworld have been as enthusiatic and professional as you all well know. Ta.

 

Erm. Anyone want to buy a well-cared for Series 3 NA Auto 2+2? I seem to have one going spare...

 

PistonHeads ad here and a forum one when I have time.

 

For those who were wondering what happened to the stunning Series 6 1999 NA Auto Version S posted some months back by Sudesh, now you know. I wasn't going to buy another Zed but I did. As Oscar Fingal O'Flaherty Wills Wilde said, the only way to get rid of temptation is to give into it. :D

 

There are quite a few differences in the Series 6: Mr F highlighted some fundamentals, Sudesh pointed out some more and Jeff discovered more. I've found some and I'm sure there are more to be found.

Fantastic purchase you lucky so and so. Nice one indeedy.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

 

What, you thinking of breaking it :scared:

Very nice Z! :bow:

Stunning zed, I love it!!

Lucky lucky lucky, lovely Zed, enjoy!

At last Mike:thumbup:I was shure someone was going to put two and two together and come up Gio and who bought Sudesh's 99 zed lol and it was a pleasure meeting you and Sudesh (I am craving after his 99 turbo:yes:) Did you get it registered ok Mike? have you been out zedding in it?:thumbup:

Finally you came out lol!

 

Glad to see its now registered and your a happy man, was great meeting you and Gary and many thanks for a very pleasant transaction and also a bit of learning in the process lol Also great to know it has went a very VERY good home and will be treated with lots of care.

 

Gary, if you make me a good offer for the TT, I may sell it! You may as well have 3.

Hi Gary, yes the process was very simple. Just fill in the right forms with the right paperwork from Sudesh, MOT sorted by Jeff etc. It took longer to stand in the queue at the DVLA in Birmingham than actually going through it with the bloke behind the counter. 5 working days later and bingo, tax disc, V5C etc dropped on the mat. A lot easier than I thought. I think that was a) being over 10 years old avoided SVA, b) 300ZX Z32s were once an official UK car and c) all Sudesh's paperwork was comprehensive and complete so the DVLA were happy. No aggro.

 

Picked it up from Zedworld on Friday and been sorting other stuff, updating my website to sell the blue one (not quite done yet), getting keys cut, swopping plates and so on. Even taken the better half out in it. Oh well, back to work tomorrow.

 

Cheers mate - that's several I owe you so best make sure neither of us are driving next time :pint:

Good man, Sudesh, pleasure meeting you, too. I must say the S6 is living up to everything so far and is clearly a very clean car. Your pics were spot on. It'll get the care it deserves.

 

At last I can go back to the truth "silver ones are faster" :D

Congrats Gio, it looked superb in the pics and Im sure its every bit as good in person. Top Purchase.

Awesome - looking forward to seeing it in the tin!

Thanks for the kind words - pleased to help the process along!

Mike, just noticed you added the clear/white side repeaters! I'm usually not a fan of these but must say they look good against the color of our Z's!

Temptation strikes again Sudesh but six cars in the yard:biggrin:I suppose I could sell a few.

Glad it all went well Mike and keep us updated with pic's of the only 99 N/A Zed in the fourm

very nice indeed mate :thumbup1:

I wondered where it had gone. Good to see its on the forum and will get the care it well derseves.

Lovely zed

It's the slippery slope to more bling! :cool: I think making a silver car look more silvery is no bad thing. My first silver one I cleared out the indicators as well, Jeff blinged-up my 2nd one with some clear corners and on this one, no need, they're smoked already :)

 

But TBH, I think that's about the limit for me with this car. Keep it stock, keep it simple.

 

 

@ everyone else - thanks for the kind words. I'll do my best to bring it out and about a bit this year and give it the TLC it deserves. Pics will follow. Cheers.

Oops, sorry, missed those Gary, thanks for the post. Saves me doing it!

If you dont mind me making a suggestion, I would do exactly that, keep it stock looking, but with the exception of some wheel spacers to bring those wheels out flush with the arches.....no need for any other changes. :cool:

I am very very very jealous right now :D lol

Oops, sorry, missed those Gary, thanks for the post. Saves me doing it!

 

Cant have enough pic's Mike more please:yes:
