A belated happy birthday Jason - hope you had a great day mate! Richard:thumbup:

Happy birthday for yesterday Trev!! Richard:thumbup:

LOL - on a lighter side, I have to agree.....:wink: But onwards and upwards Lee! You have a new Zed now - and you still have the old one from which to extract the best bits, for fitting to the Phoenix....... ......Good luck with the new project....:clover:

Yup - agreed there mate! My uncle had one back in the 1970s when I was a child. Loved it.....:bow:

It is sheer madness...... And every year it gets worse - most probably down to the press and the retailers whipping everyone up into a sensationalised frenzy...:no: Still, if the shops are full, then anywhere that you might actually want to visit for a nice day out should be relatively peaceful....:wink:

Ask Funky Si - he's had his Zed resprayed more times that he has driven it.....:rofl: But seriously though - I'd go along with what Richie K says. Plan on c£2k for a "resprayed" car - and c£4k upwards for a "factory finished" car. Although if the painter is worth his salt, then you can get a top job done for £2-£2.5k - just as Lee had done.

Hi and welcome to the club Adam! Richard:thumbup:

Thanks Jeff - and a very Merry Christmas to you and Lynda as well...! Richard:santa:

LOL - brilliant picture Gaz.....:bow:

The Club Committee and Moderation Team would like to thank the membership for your support during 2015, and we wish you ALL and your families a Very Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2016. :cool3::santa:

I did that too - best way IMO, otherwise you'll pay almost as much as the spoiler again, in shipping etc! Mike did mine for around £230 to my door, it might take a few weeks longer but definitely worth it....:thumbup:

Hi and welcome to the club Diederik....:thumbup: Nice looking Zed you have there!!

Hi Adam - welcome to the club.....:thumbup:

Yup - and still looking good at this time of year..... Even if we are basking in almost tropical conditions...:lol::thumbup:

Having a UK spec car, I normally use "regular" unleaded anyway..... Although more for loyalty points, I stick with BP or Shell, as opposed to any other brand of fuel. I have used V-Power and Ultimate fuels - but like you say, there's little noticeable difference most of the time. But I do think my Zed runs better on the higher octane fuels on those odd occasions in summertime, when we get very hot weather. Say 26+ degrees....? Same with the Merc and Land Rover - neither car runs any different on "super" varieties; but for the occasional higher MPG between fill-ups.

Many happy returns Rich - hope all's well with you matey!! Richard:happybday:

(ahem) I agree mate.....:thumbup: ........He says pointing to the picture above^^^:biggrin:

Yup - the lighting in my garage is too poor to do a picture any justice....:lol: But here's one I took after cleaning it on a previous occasion.....:wink:

I gave my Zed the wash it deserved, after using it almost daily last week...... ......It's now clean, shiny and tucked up in my garage.....:cool:

Same here - and agree entirely!! The Meister Rs give the car the handling edge it needs; but without compromising on ride quality, thus retaining that GT car feel.....:cool:

Many happy returns for yesterday mate - hope you had a great day!! Richard:thumbup:

Ditto.....:cool:

Those.....:wink: Assuming you are still going for the Hankooks; they will most likely be the best match to the bargains you have already secured. I have never tried the brand myself - and not 100% sure whether I would - but it appears they have upped their game in recent years; and become the OEM fitting for a lot of cars.

And it's a 4 wheel drive too - according to the advert; not to mention the leather seats that are so obviously tweed.....:rolleyes: As above, it's a very, very rough NA and best avoided at all costs....:nono:

Bloody hell Daz - but good to hear you're recovering nicely and back at work!!! Take it easy mate - you only live once....:flowers::thumbup:
