just put my car in for some body repairs (ie veilside skirts as there scratched and chipped to hell,driving a citroen saxo :( at the mo not the same as drivin my z,the point of the question is a citroen saxo new costs 6k my z cost 5k and yet the pleasure of driving a 10yr old car is unbelievable!!have any u lot had to go without your z for periods of time,funny how driving a certain car can put u in a totally differant mood

LOL greg, ive never driven a saxo but i can imagine!

I have to drive the Z every wkend or i get depressed lol.

Had it nearly a year and longest ive been without driving it

is 8 days. Gives me something to look forward to in my simple

life haha.

I used to be able to live with my split personality, when I just used the Z at weekends and the diesel donkey in the week...

 

Now I have a reasonably reliable Z I've made the mistake of taking it into the office once or twice, and doing other daily driving in it... and now I'm really gonna HAVE to change my daily car.

Know exactly how you feel greg, mines in for a week having '99 spec fitted and I've been driving a diesel Astra estate!!! To make matters worse, it's a logo'd company car, complete with "ring this number if I'm driving like a tosser" sticker on the back. What a load of :xxx:

Roll on Sat. when I get my baby back!!! :hyper:

I know how you feel guy's! My Z was my only form of transport, and a 13 year old car needs a bit of TLC on occasion. A right PITA when it's in the shop for some work. I want to do quite a few odds and sods to it now (suspension bushes, steering arm, rear shocks, spoiler, wheel refurb and a re-spray) so I had to get another car as a daily driver.........

 

A Sierra 2.0L Ghia ESTATE!! :rofl: :( :xxx:

 

Not exactly a passion waggon, but it was my step-dad's, he's looked after it bloody well, and it was FREE!!! :dance: :cool:

 

I must admit I arrive at work with a big grin on my face (it's beats embarrassed red!) as it's a big lurching bouncy castle on wheels compared to the Z! :p
