RichardS Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 ...And spurred on by Si's comments, I gave my Zed a thorough wash - including shampooing the underside (not that I am paranoid). I then blow-dried it with my leaf blower, just to be sure it wasn't still damp, before wiping it down with detailing spray and popping it safely back into the garage....! 1 Quote I have something to say............

Still, on a slight detour home, via Bathampton, the chap collecting payments at the toll bridge was certainly taken with the Zed... "I'm F~~~ing loving that car" was among one of the things he said ? I know the bloke you mean, he said the same thing when I drove my zed from Jims to Yeovil last May. The wife and I had the roof off so heard him quite clearly ? 1 Quote 1990 Black MT NA LWB = 2014 - 2020 (Sold) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2015 - 2017 (Stripped & Scrapped) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2017 - 2021 (Sold) 1991 Black MT TT LWB = 2018 - 2021 (Sold) 1989 Red AT TT LWB = 2021 - XXXX (Kept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It's been exactly 6 weeks since I last used my Zed..... ....So as the weather was fine today, we took the Zed for a little jaunt out to Oxford. ?

No chance of that around here, roads have been salted and cars are driving around covered in salt dust! 2 Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible.

Joely P Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 As much as I’d love to make a similar post about driving mine, roads round here are as Andrew says, like the Bonneville salt flats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gray Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I wouldn’t drive mine in this weather as salt and greasy roads aren’t good for nearly 700hp, nearly killed myself a couple of times already ? there’s nothing worse than having this thing sitting there and I dare not drive it ffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Fitted my new targa seals passenger side was just starting to leak after 30 years.. just got to test if the new ones are ok, old ones split across the top were the top of door glass meets the rubber Edited January 31, 2022 by gray 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 LOL - it was 15 degrees and sunny on Saturday so no chance of the roads being freshly salted overnight...... And whilst I concede the roads had been salted in the last coupe of weeks, there has been sufficient traffic and rain to disperse it over that time. Sure, I was in two minds which car to take out on Sunday morning, but when we arrived home and the Zed was still as clean as when we left, I wasn't worried about having made the wrong choice. Yes, I have learned my lesson - and no, I'm not going to use it throughout the winter like before. But the odd day out, on a fine dry day is not going to do any long term harm.... And there were plenty of other classic car drivers out on Sunday with the same idea - we can't all be mad.... Can we? ? 2 Quote I have something to say............

Nothing wrong with taking photos of the car! Yesterday, mine got run up to the paint guy I use to have a few more touch up bits done including wiper arms, scuttle, etc. I've really missed driving it, haven't driven it since November really, jumped in it and straight away had a massive, stupid grin on my face! 2 Quote 1990 Black MT NA LWB = 2014 - 2020 (Sold) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2015 - 2017 (Stripped & Scrapped) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2017 - 2021 (Sold) 1991 Black MT TT LWB = 2018 - 2021 (Sold) 1989 Red AT TT LWB = 2021 - XXXX (Kept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones28 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Wow that was a windy day yesterday hope everyone was ok. I have a bad exhaust leak from the right manifold, I could not resist showing a Tesla who was boss. I had fun anyway and only had a week left before taking car off the road for rear end refurb. Driving my brothers Boxster for now. 1 1 Quote 2002 Porsche C2 996 3.6 1991 Nissan 300zx TT Project 1995 Nissan 300zx TT Crashed 🥲 1997 Jaguar XK8 Scraped ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just like the low powered Audis, BMWs and Mercs, those driving the basic Teslas (which TBH is most of them) still suffer from the same delusions of their cars being faster than anything else ? 2 Quote I have something to say............
