  1. In summer 2024 I sold my black TT import that I had put a lot of time and money in to but never really clicked with it. I was expecting to go off and find another car and have fun working on. But I couldn’t shake the 300ZX bug. I don’t think there’s another car out there with as much bang for the buck and you just don’t see them around anymore. So I started looking for a new one. I knew my budget wouldn’t stretch that far so was looking for a project of sorts, but not one that was too far gone. A lot of the cars I was looking at were too expensive or too far gone. While putting the feelers out, I got a message from John who had a white, UK Twin Turbo sat in his garage that had been off the road for a while. One evening a few weeks back I went down to view it, it was about 2 hours from where I live and if I’m honest I thought it could be an option but had another one lined up to view a few days later as I was concerned about how rough it would be. So, turned on the sellers driveway and it was sat in the garage and looked way better than I expected! It’s not perfect but is a really honest, genuine car. Only 4 owners, has been owned by the current one since 2011 and has barely covered 15k miles since 2004. Started up on the money, ran smoother than my old one and I was sold! It has no MOT, needs some TLC and maintenance but I’m very excited to own another one and bring this one back to life! It arrives tomorrow on a truck, I’ll post more photos, give some more info about it and go over my plans for the car. I’ll use this as a blog to show progress. 😁😁😁
  2. Great day out at Beaulieu! Cars got a lot of attention, thanks for arranging this Richard.

    This year, we have two cars on display - mine and Jason's (PastorJay). We're going back to basics again, just the cars and some banners - but at least we made it; and we'll definitely make the most of the show. The organisers are also very pleased with us, as we managed to sell 49 tickets using our club discount code, our best year yet by miles! So thanks to everyone who bought a ticket, we're in hall 3, stand 3-050, between the MR2 owners club and the Classic Zed Register. We look forward to seeing you over the weekend.... But for now, some taster pics😉

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's my Z
  5. Cant believe its been so long since i dont an update here. What i can say is my zed done more miles today that it has even done in the last 7 years. Pushed it it long term home, loaded onto a tilting flatbed and moved to my own garage in Irvine. Plan now to collect the engine next week and work on getting it fitted soon as my holiday break is over.
  6. My last 'event' of 2024 was a late night drive and photoshoot into London City with my car club on 29th Dec (so the London Eye was in rehearsal mode). The 'official' photos aren't available yet but once that was over, I decided to make the most of the ulez charge to do some photography of my own...I think they came out pretty good! I really like how the rear panel has come out. I have in mind a few more styling changes for this year so this was a nice way to capture how the car looks at the moment. . . . . . . .
  7. The show is over for another year, so on behalf of the club I would like to thank the following members..... Jason (Pastor Jay) and Jen - for bringing their Zed along to display and staying for the duration to man the stand Lee (JaiKai) - for coming all the way down from Scotland on Friday to help man the stand on Friday & Saturday Craig - for coming along on Saturday to help man the stand IanL - for coming along to man the stand on Saturday and Sunday Tony (Bones28) for coming along to help man the stand on Sunday Thank you very much folks, without you we would not have been able to do it - as always, your help is very much appreciated! Here's to next year......👍
  8. Well I’m happy to say I’m about to start the rebuild process of my engine! im hoping to drop my block and internals off to my chosen machine shop in the next week or two (work permitting). Im scrapping the EPR block and starting again with a donor block I bought from Banzai Breakers months ago. Fortunately, as my billet main caps measured tighter than they should, there is sufficient material to be able to correct the oval and non-concentric issues with them to make them reusable. So, the plan as it currently stands is to machine my donor block to 88mm for my CP pistons, remachine the billet mains, resurface the block faces, balance the replacement crank and rotating assembly. Then I can start the assembly process while I have my heavily worked heads resurfaced to a proper finish. I will be assembling the engine myself. They one positive that has come from this while EPR saga is the knowledge I have gained about machining and engine assembly, meaning I’m very confident I can build a solid engine. I won’t be reusing my GT525’s are they suffered too much damage from the bearing failure, so this time I’ll be using a set of Pulsar Gen 2 GTX2860’s. It became apparent during tuning that the GT525’s fell off a cliff at 6200rpm and meant I lost out on the performance my head and cam package should deliver. The 2860’s will easily flow what I need and very little sacrifice of spool, so it should be a more complete package that makes over 600hp with less effort. In short….. positive updates coming soon… with pics
  9. Hey everyone, Finally decided to make an account here and introduce myself, I'm Mohsan. I officially became a proud Zed owner in February. A 1992 twin turbo manual 2+2. It's a UK spec in grey, currently on 70k miles. The car had a couple of owners from new, made it to 69k miles with full dealer history until around 2015 someone bought it and stored in one of those carcoons for 10 years undriven. It's very much been preserved in whatever condition it was in 10 years ago, mostly very tidy, especially the interior. Exterior, while mostly in good condition, there's a bit of tlc needed. A small rust bubble on the rear quarter to address, the sills have been at some point repaired and not blended very well to the paint and stone guard finish, and it looks like the front drivers side wing has been resprayed rather poorly and is flaking. Will look to sort these before winter. The original taillights had some cracking but a fresh set of 99 spec taillights have solved that. Mechanically, it's a lovely drive. Pulls really well in all gears and sounds nice even with the stock exhaust. The seller had it serviced and replaced quite a bit (shocks, brakes, master cylinder) to get it roadworthy and pass an MOT after being parked for so long. Since buying I've also had the timing belt replaced and changed spark plugs. If there's anything else I should look to get checked or sorted for a zx parked that long I'm all ears. At some point I'll be looking to get an exhaust, ideally keeping the quad tip look. And then wheels, I'm torn between running the stock wheels or going aftermarket. The stock wheels actually look good in my eyes but tyres for this size are limited and can get pretty expensive. Have been wanting to get my hands on an old school jap car for ages, almost gave up with some of these crazy prices. Now I finally have one, looking forward to learning more and enjoying this piece of automotive history. Any thoughts/suggestions the zx community has I'd be happy to hear. Best, Mohsan
  10. Hi, New member to the forum, but I'd confess I've lurked off and on for quite awhile. Currently calling Maryland, USA home but being an Army veteran and having traveled around so much, that could change in the future. Long time owner 26 years and member of various Z forums (Twinturbo.net, 300zxclub.com, etc), clubs, etc. Former Nissan technician for multiple years, performance race shops and the like around the area. I've owned my fair share of Z32 300ZXs ('94 2+2 (1st - Sold), '94 2+0 TT (2nd - Sold), '93 Slicktop (Current), '91 Slicktop (Current- Track car WiP), '90 2+0 (Restoration Project -Sold), '90 2+0 (Current Parts Car), and also a '92 Skyline GT-R), and have specialized on them for over 20 years. It was my first love of the car world and still stirs my soul, so I make it my mission to help all the local Z-car friends, maintenance, restore, and enjoy their vehicles out of my garage/shop - and being involved with local race tracks to show what the Z32 platform can really do. I hope you all are well and I look forward to getting to know some of you, seeing your cars and projects and hearing or offering advice and observations, comments, etc. I'll toss a couple pictures of my latest '93 finished restoration and current TT swap WiP, and try to get a couple others up later of some of the other vehicles. Cheers , Jeremy
  11. She’s home! So nice diving her again, although I forgot how extremely low I had her, had to avoid any speed bumps. MOT in the morning and away we go! Dyno and tuning will be booked soon.
  12. Well she’s ready to come home… everything wired up and installed. Last check of fluids and should be leaving the lock up. It’s been a long journey but now it’s time to enjoy the Z again!
  13. Fresh update. Engine is installed, Haltech mapped and configured. With some help from Nick it is running and sounds sweet! Just need to install new glass and should be on the road again.
  14. Our blue Evoque was coming up to 10 years and 72k miles old, so after a £600 bill from LR to replace one of the emissions sensors, I started browsing Land Rover Approved Used online...... .....And ended up buying this! 32k miles, 2 year Land Rover warranty, and this time I will be sure to do the half day LR driving experience😉 Plus it's the D240, so with its 240bhp it's pretty quick - 0-62 in just over 7 and 140mph tops😁Needless to say, Julia is pretty happy with it! We've had it three weeks now, and yesterday I finally got to give it a proper clean and a coat of Chemical Guys Jet Seal.
  15. Quick update, she is slowly coming back together. Installed the Quaife dif and half shafts from Kaiju (James Time Attack Z). Removed the ABS system and ran all new, greatly simplified brake lines. Sanded the tint off the rear taillights, polished them and installed. Both doors fully reassembled. Roll bar installed. Pulled the fuel pump hanger and ordered a new walbro 255 pump kit. Wiring loom prepped and ready for install. Next up is dash rebuild and then prepping the motor for install.
  16. Trying to bring a once, race / track 300zx back to life. Not doing as much work now as the garage is bloody cold. But I have recently fitted new Tein EDFC active dampers , slotted brakes discs and yellow stuff pads. Now repairing brake lines that run inside the car. Next just is to repair and spray a bumper, also fit intercoolers. I have a ZF 8HP gearbox I am planning to use as a sequential box (not for the purists I know, but i would never buy a car i can't modifiy, it's in my DNA) Rebuild ing a small block chevy, although I do have a single turbo heavily modified 300zx engine that could go in. I also need to get a prop made. All this will keep me busy. Unique features of the car: One piece carbon fibre detachable roof, carbon fibre tailgate for 2+2, carbon fibre bonnetand light panel, polycarbonate windows, FIA roll cage, internal fuse and breaker box to run all car electrics from just need to make a loom. Race battery, brake bias controls. Slightly wider wheel track due to suspension upgrades. There is more but that should do.

    As promised, will try to document the journey of Z ownership interrupted...my TT Auto being sold in 2008. Here it is in all it's pre resto glory. It is a 1995 TT 2+2 Auto with circa 69k on the clock. There is "some" history but nothing comprehensive. Mechanically, it appears sound - started on the button from cold and warmed up nicely with no noticeable smoking from the exhaust. It appears to have had a new exhaust and 18" wheels - which will both, more than likely, be returned to stock (parts availbility permitting). There are a few mroe Z Centre bits of bling that will need to go as well - kick plates and chrome cials for example. First order of business is a full 120k service and check over at Power Zed with any alarming issues being addressed ASAP. It is then my intention to follow an OEM+ style resto (no Fast and Furious fan here - Think more of a Kill Bill style Fairlady Z). I will probably re-trim where approriate (door cards are a good place to start) and ultimately look at a re-spray - silver was not my first choice, but I can see its charm... Early days but am carrying a lot of hope and enthusiasm which will no doubt evaporate at some point!
  18. My grandson Leo enjoying the Z as much as Grandad does !
  19. After attending Beaulieu the previous weekend, we decided a little return trip to The New Forest was in order to see a couple of places we missed. In the Zed of course..... First stop was Hythe for breakfast, then a visit to Calshot Castle, finally dropping in at Burley before heading home. Well worth burning a tank of fuel for....😁

    This a dire warning for any budding newbies not to buy the above white UK automatic being offered on various auction sites.The last owner took action against 1st Choice cars of Faringdon after an inspection by me & ACE .The car is a breaker it is so tatty & poorly maintained.It has serious mechanical issues & should never have been sold.The car was finally returned after a 6 month legal battle.My guy paid 11,995 for it when it was worth 2k at best.The car has low compression on cylinder 6,No AC,Split steering rack gaitors,badly corroded brake pipes,A hole in the floor that is structural,A dangerously worn Hicas joint,The fuel tank is sweating petrol around the straps.The engine loom is a fire hazard with exposed wires & poorly crimped on plugs.Avoid it like the plague please.
  22. And finally back to our stand - from where we came in, to me being the last man standing..... ....We were still exploring the rest of the show until about 3pm - so both John and Mark had left by the time we got back!! Sorry we missed you but thanks again for coming along; great to catch up and hope to see you again soon!!
  23. Afternoon all After 12 years off the road (tax disc ran out on 31/07/2013!) I took my zed to our local MOT tester this morning. Pleased to report that she passed with no advisories! I was present for the test and had a chance to inspect the car when she was on the ramps. All looks tidy and is a testament to my weather tight garage! Renewed the tax and took her off SORN as soon as I got home. Next job is a proper service and possibly a 120K service and more thorough health check. Big thanks to AndrewG for running a Conzult check for me (I couldn't find my cable anywhere!) Hope to see you all at a meet soon! CheerZ Steve
  24. After far too long since I removed the rear subframe, I’ve finally got around to “starting” the refresh! So far so good other than one of the driveshafts refusing to separate from the hub, but I’ll bring some more manly tools home from work tomorrow to solve that! Looking forward to getting it all back on the car and start enjoying it again. ☀️
  25. Quick trip down the A20 to Ashford
  26. Not today - but a couple of days ago - we took the Zed on a little drive in The Chilterns, stopping off at Waterperry.... Any excuse to share a couple of Zed pics in the sunshine
  27. Hello everybody, my name is Nicolas, 43, from France. I'm the second owner of a red 90 TT manuel t-top 300Zx, bought 3 months ago in France. I already loved the car when i was 15, but when it's yours that's on another level. As my little one says : "it's class" "it's red" "it goes super fast", a fair lady with a demon inside!
  28. Well after many years of collecting parts the the next stage of the car's development with the "bolt-on" engine parts is nearly there. The Z is going down to Jim@PowerZed this summer. I thought it would be fun to photo all the parts going down with the car - quite a collection! and a 98 spec manual gearbox:

    Finally got a few little jobs done on my recently acquired Z so I can now post a few photos.
  30. We it’s finally starting to come together! Last week the 300 and parts were collected and taken to a company that has done a number of jobs for me (replacing the head gasket and other work on the Toyota Alphard and a number of jobs on the RS6). They’re called DC Automotive and Tuning . They have a passion and specialise in Japanese motors and seemed really excited to get involved in the 300. 🥳 Jimmer at PowerZed , who has been as patient as a saint, has also been in touch about the engine rebuild and is going to start work on this too. I don’t hold out much hope that I’ll be driving her this season, as there’s a very long way to go, but it fills me with joy knowing that things are moving again. 😎
  31. Hi all, Thanks for all the thanks. I am fine, no problems there and nothing to worry about! I just need to concetrate on something very personal this year and felt that I wouldnt be able to give the role of NEO the time and committment it needs. Last thing I wanted to do was a half-arsed job and ruin peoples shows/days out because I didnt plan & execute it properly!
  32. Back from the bodyshop today, looks great! Next thing is to get it up on axle stands and replace the reverse switch so the lights work again. I’ll be doing new pads and discs on every corner and will be cleaning up the underside. Ran nicely but a bit of smoke occasionally so will be trying to replace the PCV valves first and go from there. Going to clean up the subframes as well. Then belt service, new spark plugs, filters, gearbox oil and diff oil.
  33. Finally she sits on her own 4 wheels again. Video
  34. Hi there, the wife requested a runout in the Z yesterday so we did a trip to the Aqua centre in Rolvenden to buy a fish tank. They were very helpful, We then stopped off a the Great House near Hawkhurst for lunch

    A couple of weeks late, but last month we took the Zed on a little trip to the Isle of Wight..... ......Luckily the weather was favourable - and we also met up with our old friend Groover (Graham Jones) and his partner. He still has his yellow Zed, along with a couple of spare cars - one day he'll have the yellow one back on the road. Hopefully LOL But the reason for the post, as always, is to share some Zed pics - in no particular order, here they are 😉
  36. Not yet, still waiting for TDI to finish the inspection. While the engine is out I’m taking care of a few small jobs. New dual air filters rather the HKS set up, power steering lines no longer leaking, horn wiring fixed, and a few cosmetic jobs.
  37. It's been a while since my last 'journal entry' but not a lot has happened since the trip earlier in the year. I have completed a few small jobs and did attend quite an exciting show... First off, the 99spec front lip that got torn off on the Ring (see previous post 😆) was replaced and the Powertrix sideskirts were removed and refitted as they were rushed the first time around and not done to my liking. Happy to say both are now in place. The Powertrix skirts are based off the Kaminari and similar in style to the TwinZ, in that they cut into the chassis versus flaring out which makes the car look like it has a waist. I really like it but it definitely needs some side lips to flare out the bottom side a little and give it a slightly more aggressive look. The challenge is that there are no 'off the shelf' lips for Powertrix or Kaminari in a 2+2 variation and the Twinz is not only very expensive but not guaranteed to fit. Not a risk I'm willing to take unfortunately. I'm in contact with Grams Styling as they have a generic 2+2 lip to see if that would fit these will....watch this space! I've noticed that a lot of the US cars have the OEM mud spats fitted and I really like the look. There are aftermarket FB variations available but it didn't make sense to me as surely they would get chipped up over time? As my car was black, I figured I'd keep an eye out for at OEM set but none appeared. I then came across an owner in the US who was selling a full set of mud guards (not spats). I jumped on them as figured they'd be better than nothing. After waiting 2weeks for them to arrive, I test fitted them and wasn't convinced. Fortunately a few days later, a set of OEM mud spats were listed in the UK...! Last but not least, I was fortunate to attend the PistonHeads Annual Service at Bicester with my club. The club was invited as one of the only 'outsiders' and they really jumped on the opportunity to showcase us all. We had approx 48 cars on stand including 3 Lexus LFAs (there are only 3 registered in the UK!), Ferrari F40, Porsche CGT, a plethora of Lambos inc a couple of Murcielagos, several McLarens, BMWs, a RWB and even an Aston Martin Valour....and then me! Lol..it was quite comical. I was in good company with a 90s NSX but otherwise, the retro JDM showing was quite low. A lovely event but I think RollHard the previous week had it bear quite easily (check it out if you've never been!). As usual, I created a reel following the PH meet which you can see here - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNJAun2MEaw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=Y2xieXN4b3g2NjMw
  38. Oh I still live around that area, I’m just not there currently, always on the road. We’re still in the bungalow but planning on a move to a bigger house in the same village as we need more space, with two kids now and I could do with a double garage. Awkward stage as I transferred the business into a limited company as it’s grown and I need more history in my books for the mortgage stuff.
  39. Grafting underneath at the back end making everything look pretty!

  41. Back in the UK now Got to use the cruise control out & back.

    Me and my daughter do a roadtrip each year about this time of year. This year we decided to do the Republic of Ireland and extend our usual 4 days to 5. This is the first time I've had to see just what the ZX is capable of. Sarah who being an ex karter can pedal very competently has a 986 Boxter which is known for it's sweet handling so is a good benchmark. The good news is both cars performed faultlesly over the 1.3k plus miles in very hot temperatures and I was very impressed with the way mine performed and Sarah commented on how good it looked when she was following me, especially when her car is shod with newish PS4'S while mine has 12 year old Continentals. Things I noticed with mine are, it's very comfortable over long seat time, the windscreen didn't get anywhere near the bug splatter as the Porsche, there's very little buffeting with the roof panels off or indeed with the windows down as well. My last two weekend toys were a TVR Tamora and a Lotus Elise S1 which are both fantastic sports cars and although the ZX is more of a GT car, I'm very happy with it. Roll on Scotland next year.

    Good Afternoon All. Thanks for having me, it’s great to finally be a Z32 owner, I’ve always loved the look of them, such beautiful machines. I picked up mine yesterday. Was hoping to find a TT manual in my price range but ended up settling for a 1995 Manual Naturally Aspirated. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it N/A or not, it’s a nice drive, a few creaks but in nice condition overall. I’m looking forward to wasting all my hard earned cash on it over time and seeing what I can do with it. And I’m looking forward to reading through the forums, getting ideas and tips, and hopefully I’ll meet some of you in the near future. I’ll be “documenting” the cars journey on instagram, @kyoka_z32 please feel free to follow. Thanks….. Anthony.
  45. The Committee would like to wish all the club's members and their families a VERY HAPPY EASTER 2025!! Enjoy the long weekend folks - and get out in those Zeds......🤩🥚
  46. A few weeks ago I took a short trip with my club over to Europe for a double header -an evening session at The Ring followed by a full open pitlane trackday at Spa. It was quite an eventful few days but an absolute blast from start to finish! We caught the shuttle early doors on a Weds and drove straight to the Ring with a brief lunch stop somewhere in Belgium. The tourist session at The Ring was only from 5.30pm-6.15pm as the track was closed for testing all day. Fortunately the weather was dry and because of the late / short nature of the session, it was very quiet. This played to my advantage as I’ll describe later on! Driving as the sun was setting was immense as you get to experience a totally different side to the Ring. The views are spectacular and it feels very special. Fortunately the Ring-side photographers were still there so I managed to get some awesome photos of the car going around. With a lap taking somewhere between 11-12mins followed by a brief stop in the DEvil's Diner carpark to let both myself and the car cool down, it was s squeeze but I managed a total of 3 laps within the 45min session. As the saying goes, "quit while you're ahead" and I really should have. The first two laps were very comfortable but I pushed to get in a 3rd with one of the other guys in his Ferrari 360. Usually the two to push each other the most, we went out together and I even carried a passenger with me. Ironically joking about the need for a helmet (it's not mandatory on the Ring...we chose not to) and pushing the car and myself harder than I ever have on any of my 25+ previous laps of the Ring, the inevitable happened.... WhatsApp Video 2025-04-19 at 10.12.58.mp4 Going into the corner which I've never had a problem with before, I realised I was carrying too much speed and lifted off slightly. A BIG mistake which caused liftoff oversteer at around 90-95mph. It didn't feel like there was a lot I could do once it started going as the rear end was light as a feather but I did automatically start trying to counter with the steering and intermittent braking. Not sure if any of that was the right thing to do but as you can see, I managed to complete a full 720 spin with the car back on the tarmac, facing the right way and able to simply keep driving. Someone was definitely looking down/over me that day!! Having gone over 2 kerbs and 2 sets of grass, the only damage to the car was my brand new front splitter getting ripped clean off - if you look closely you see it waving goodbye to me as it flies off into the distance 😭 The car had a vibration as I finished the lap but this cleared once I hosed the car down later that evening so most likely just debris caught up in the wheels and brakes. One of the guys shared the below video with me a few days ago which is of an AMG GTR doing the exact same thing in the exact same spot but with quite a different result. It's not lost on me just how lucky I was and certainly a lesson in humility learned. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIXoagYphMo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The following day the group spent the day touring the back roads around the Ring and the Black Forest. Unsurprisingly I stayed at the back of the group and often got left behind! There was no way I was going to be pushing the car so soon after what happened! We headed to Spa that evening and stayed at Hotel Le Source, with direct bedroom views of the track..all very exciting! The following day we headed to the pits where we had 2 garages reserved for our group and a dedicated instructor. I was feeling very nervous but the sun was out, the track was wide and I promised myself I would take it slow and build up through the day. It ended up being one of the most perfect days of driving I've ever experienced! This was the first F1 track I've driven and the difference in quality is insane! The tarmac was like silk, the marshalling was perfect, track time was maximised, the pit lanes where the F1 cars hangout felt like being on a movie set... Although a bucket list day, I would 100% go back again for a trackday at Spa. It's easily driveable for a day (+1 overnight) away. For anyone considering it, my advice would be to just do it. You won't regret it! I've been back home for a few weeks now and after washing and cleaning the car, I've not taken it out. There are a few jobs I need to get going on with it: source and fit a new front lip ☹️ remove and refit my new PowerTrix side skirts as they were fitted as a bit of a rush job before the trip and not done quite correctly get the engine checked out as there was a little blue smoke at times under load from the left bank..possibly turbo seal on the way out? using a dial test indicator on my hubs to check for runout. The discs are true as are the wheels but I still have the vibration. I want to check the hubs and change the tyres (was waiting til after this trip to get new rubber) and failing that, I think it might be time to start renewing the suspension components Before the trip, I fitted a front lip sourced from Luke at ZCentre and I replaced my factory 99spec side skirts with some new PowerTrix side skirts. I never really liked the 99specs as they looked a little dated and 'fruity'. Hard to explain but I much prefer this new look. As always, I've posted a few recap reels on my IG which you can checkout if interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHpBCFbC-XE/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DHrirh_iG9j/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DHzHs3LN1QY/
  47. I dropped my Zed off at the local garage for an MOT, plus the annual oil and filter change..... Then I got the call after half an hour to say it would fail as the rear brake pads had worn down, almost to the metal - damn, I should have checked that 😞 But luckily I had a spare set of Mintex pads in my garage, so I wandered down to drop them off. Luckily I got home before the hail storm hit LOL!! I am now pleased to report my Zed is ready for 2025 - with a fresh MOT, a sump full of nice golden Castrol Edge 5w40 and some new rear brake pads 🙂

    We took the Zed on its first road trip of 2025 last weekend. It was Julia's birthday so we went to Dunster in north Somerset for a couple of days, briefly venturing over the border into north Devon...... Not that I need an excuse for posting more Zed pics - albeit this time, it's a little dirty. Never mind, I shall be out washing it next weekend LOL 😉

  50. Today nothing, but I did take the Zed out for a little drive the other day - and stopped for a couple of pics. Any excuse 😉
