Had a great couple of days with the Z.
Gave her its first wash in years to get rid of all the dust that had gathered on her.
Then took her on its maiden voyage over to East Sussex/Kent borders for a close friends wedding. Was a nice 200 mile round trip to . Apart from fuel economy (which has yet to be tuned), it performed faultlessly! Deffo need to further exhaust work to kill horrendous drone between 2-3k rpm, but I can’t express how nice it was cruising through the southern English countryside on a sunny day with the roof off. It just reminded me how much I love this car

Just venting my spleen ...
My Zed failed its MOT big stlyee.
Excessive play in rear track rod ends
(which prpbably explains the squiffy handling
and accelerated tyre wear (S03's with 3k on them wearing like buggery))
The biggest expense was two corroded brake lines which they had to remove the sub frame to replace (6 hours labour for a £10 part !!!!)
Still, when my wife collected it this morning at least the bill was three figures not four, Just! £996....
There goes my upgrade plan till next year.
Still, on the bright side I did get to drive a courtesy Micra for 5 days ...
On a serious note, does anyone know of a good mech/garage in Mid-Susses apart from a Nissan Main Dealer? Bloody £45hr labour!
I'll stop bleating now.
