Finally got one. It's grey Jap one with Nice alloys Z centre exhaust & induction kit. 1 or 2 bits to be sorted out but generally reet good condition. Andy Duff checked it over tonight & recons it's a good un, apart from the bits he pointed out. I must admit I wondered if I'd made a mistake for the first half hour but after bringing it all the way from Slough to Preston I realise that I can never be parted now & am in no doubt that I own the greatest car the world.

Big thanks to Andy for making the problems with it seem minor. I'll tell you it feels good to live round the corner from this man.

I do like to do a long drawn out post from time to time but tonite I feel a bit stuck for words. I think most of you know what I mean.

I set off from Spar tonite, went about 20 yards then booted it & it got snaking about. Not bad for an auto in the dry with 255 tyres on the rear. Ye haw.

That should do it.

snurdf - Congrats on your new buy.

 

However, just take it easy for the first few days. If anything is going to happen, thats usually when it does cus it's when you are most likely to blast it.

 

Don't get me wrong, I did the same when I got mine. I drove from Cardiff to Derby and didn't drop below 80mph. There have been a lot of people on here that have had problems just after they have handed over their hard earned cash.

 

I wish you the best of luck with it and if enjoy driving your Z as much as I do, you will be a very happy man.

 

:)

Cheers Cos, I'm definately one of them but one mustn't be put off. Like you say I'll be taking it easy till the few bits have been sorted. A Z is for life not just for Christmas.

It's wierd, when you own a Z you feel like your part of something a bit special & even though everyone that sees it pays it compliments you can't help thinking to yourself...If only he really knew how good this car is...

Good on you mate & welcome to the nut house....er sorry, club.

 

And you've got your own, personal mechanic down the road. :D

Well done snurdf,as Cos said,easy does it for a while,they are something else are they not,love em,enjoy!:D ;)

Thanks for the welcome guys, Good advice to take it easy, deffo will do. Nick, we'll have to get together soon. Took my cousine for a spin last night & he used the word amazing five times in about a minute. A mate who has a 20 valve fiat coupe came in to work this morning & said he's gonna get one when his claim comes through.

About this grinning that keeps getting mentioned, how do I stop it?

Oh you can't stop it so don't fight it...........
