I've only had my lovely zed a couple of weeks, and already my g/f hates it!

She cites six reasons why my '94 uk-spec TT, low mileage, FSH purchase is a complete waste of money:

 

1. "Totally impractical for taking my mum (aged 83!) and kids (18/15/12)

out at the weekend." I disagree - mum and kids love it! (except mum is

too deaf to hear the turbos spool up...).

2. "Ridiculously expensive to maintain." (Fair cop)

3. "Won't fit in the garage, coz it's too wide and the door won't open."

Disagree - I could climb in and out thru the targa ....

4. "You wash it more often than you wash yourself." (Fair cop again).

5. "You drive like a granny over all the speed bumps we have around here."

(ok, she has me on that one too)

6. "Since you've bought it, you're always at the filling station." - Yes dear,

because it has a smaller fuel tank than my previous car.

 

At least she hasn't started the "either the zed goes or I do" routine yet, but if she does, I guess I'll have to be realistic, and move my baby on to a new home. If that happens, I'll post some pics of her so you can make me an offer (on the g/f, not the zed).

cant tar us all with the same brush!! i will foresake kids for the rest of my life to have a fast in ya face plaything, it was my ex that used to get on at me about the Zed and my obsession with her (and yes it was a male!!)

 

Well you kinda gals are hard to find. every g/friend iv had didnt see the point in nice or fast cars and it had come to the ' the car or me question' a few times. The hunt goes on.

And there I was thinking it was just my girlfriend who was being unreasonable!

I guess she'll come around to my way of thinking in the end.

 

Of course, she could just be hankering for that Nissan Figaro on sale down the road. Now there's a nice cheap runabout for the family...

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

"Nissan Figaro" :smash: Fook that having 1 of them outside the house you will have to get her a hat with a bell on the end, and your have to wear a white beard and false ears :rofl: :rofl: unless you already got the ears ;) :rofl:

I took Mrs Judd out in the zed when i got it..................shes never got in it again and says not a word about my ownership............. plus i let her have my bike.

Burn the soles of her feet with a hot crack pipe.

Mr David , your quotes always amuse me ( but may I venture to guess you mean " sink " ? ) Where does that come from ? It sounds Alan Bennetesque , but he is from oop North . Or is it a Withnail one that I`ve forgotten , never having watched it in a sober state ?

Prey enlighten us all , sah !

And keep up the good work :p

I thought I had, took her to a couple of car shows to check her out, she seemed interested and we even had conversations about cars, but alas she was only fooling me so she could trap me into a life of husbandry :cry:

 

Yeah - that's a familiar ploy regularly used by the 'fair' sex. Reminds me of the old addage "when getting married, a woman expects a man to change, but he doesn't, and a man expects a woman not to change, but she does". By the time we find this out it's too late and we're trapped. Life's a bitch.

Life's a bitch.

 

then you marry one :rofl:

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer: no offence to the ladies!

When I wanted one, my wife always found other places to spend my hard earned money!!!!!

 

THEN I DIVORCED HER!!!!!!!!!! And now I own a Zed!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I've never looked back, as I'm as happy as a pig in shit!!!!

I thought it was more like... A woman spends all her time changing you, and when they have changed you they dont want you anymore, when you ask why they say because your not the man i first met :headvswal So why the fook do they do it? :smash:

shit happens :wack:

 

anyway I'll never change for anyone - they dont like me from the start - they can sling it :xxx:

 

and i dont believe one person can change another - a leopard never changes its spots... you are who you are.

IMO people dont change due to situations... they just adjust to the situation. :) Deep down they are probably still the twat they always were

if they dont like it its because other women look at you in it ,,thats the real reason

My new girlfriend loves the Z, when i picked her up in the escort yesterday she said why are you driving this? are you mad, wheres the Z, you don't drive it enough!....I like her way of thinking!

:bow:

 

Ohh,, now you're asking... I THINK it's Withnail & I but I can't remember!

 

I'll change it to 'sink' now - it doesn't make so much sens as 'skink' does it? A lizard that can grip vertical surfaces!

I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne sais quoi oh so very special about a firm young carrot.

 

 

It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when he awakens and quite reasonably says to himself: [He puts his hand on his heart] "I will never play The Dane." When that moment comes, one's ambition ceases.

I can never touch meat until it's cooked. As a youth I used to weep in butchers' shops.

 

 

Sherry!? Oh no, no, no, no. I'll fall straight into his trap. He's so mauve. We don't know what he's planning.

 

 

I'm preparing myself to forgive you. I think you've been punished enough. I think we better release you from the legumes and transfer your talents to the meat.

 

 

I often wonder where Norman is now. [COLOR=Red]Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, rain, Vim under the sink, and both bars on.[/color] But old now, there is no true beauty without decay.

How right you are, how right you are. We live in a kingdom of rains, where royalty comes in gangs. Come on, lads, the sky's beginning to bruise, night must fall, and we shall be forced to camp.

 

 

I mean to have you, boy, even if it must be burglary.

I thought it was more like... A woman spends all her time changing you, and when they have changed you they dont want you anymore, when you ask why they say because your not the man i first met So why the fook do they do it?

This is so true.

I bought my zed whilst my missis was on holiday and picked her up in it at the airport,

i cant understand that anyone can be so against a zed

well all ourlass asked me when i pulled up in the zed was "AND HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA HAVE A SHAG IN THAT"

When I got the Z my missus loved it( because i drove it with lots of respect and slowly till i knew what it was capable of), now she hates it as i am regularly opening it up and enjoying it when the back end lets go, i really dont drive faster than other cars i have owned but the way this one gets to the same speeds is a lot more fun to me but terror to her...hahahahahahahahaha

well all ourlass asked me when i pulled up in the zed was "AND HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA HAVE A SHAG IN THAT"

 

thats easy just take 1 of the targa's off and stick her head out :rofl: :rofl:
