Glad to hear all's well in your world Brian - and good to see you back every now and again mate...!! Love to Christine and hope to catch up soon!! Richard & Julia?

Sorry to hear you're selling up Art - but as Gary says, life and family come first...... ....Albeit for me, my Zed is part of the family, so won't be going anywhere soon ? You have a fine car there, so if you can hang onto it, do so; otherwise hang out for the right offer mate!

Hi and welcome to the club Ray - and good luck with your new toy mate! Nice to see another UK spec gone to a good home.... ? Richard

I have always like your black Zed Graham - but now you ask, I reckon it's a good time to revert to OEM+ It will make a mighty fine car even better.... Just IMO of course?

I did - but I didn't think to ask Simon to make it any thicker, just to recover it, keeping it OEM.

I know what you mean Graham - I too prefer the look of the original..... But the new one just feels better ?

Very nice Andy.....!!!

Hello and welcome to the club!! Richard?

Yup - these guys are next door to the one and only Jimmer, and they come highly recommended. When I finally decide to replace my aging Mongoos, I'll be going there too.

Will do Gary - I was going to hang on to it for a bit, whilst I get used to the new one..... Just in case I change my mind ?

You've changed your name - my bad for not noticing mate..... ? Interior innovations were pretty good this time - the 'wheel arrived in about two weeks. They even marked the package as a gift, so I saved on the VAT and duty! I say "this time" because a few years ago, I ordered the double DIN radio bezel, but it took so long that we mutually agreed to cancel the purchase. To be fair, they did not quibble about it, as it was down to their own supply chain. But as said, no issues this time around - I would definitely order from Interior Innovations again.

Hi folks, I have fitted a new steering wheel to my Zed..... I am not a fan of aftermarket updates, but sought something a little more modern and "chunky" than the original. So sticking with the "OEM-plus" theme, I bought this from Interior Innovations in the USA. I still prefer the look of the original - especially as I had it retrimmed by Hide N Seat a few years ago - however I definitely prefer the "feel" of this new one!!

Nice work sir...... AndyP used to be the club's fixer of clocks - I don't suppose you'd consider offering your services to other members, would you?

Nice one Tom, thank you.....! I shall be in touch with regards the arrangements shortly mate!!

Hi and welcome to the club Ed - and good luck with your new toy!! Richard?

Awesome Andy - just awesome mate!!

Thursday is fine mate..... We will have our allotted entry time sometime on Thursday, so no need to head up after your shift?

Thank you kind sir...... I think I just may be enlisting your help?

Bringing this back to the top again, as time is ticking and we need volunteers to exhibit.....!! Thank you to those who have put themselves forward thus far, it's greatly appreciated.... I will drop Ian Greenfield a line - likewise our very own Bird, as he has a nice (or indeed two nice) modified example(s). Nick and Matt, what a pity your cars are out of action; they are bloody great examples which would have done us and you proud on the stand..... Still, there's always next year! Richard?

Lovely looking Zed there Phil - thanks for sharing mate!! That would look just awesome on our club stand at the NEC - have you thought about putting it on show to the nation......? Richard?

Seconded...... Jim is the ZX-pert - and barely 100 miles west along the M4, now that his new premises is just off j18. Richard?

Happy birthday Nick - have a great day mate!! Richard?

Nice one Graham - you can't beat a set of shiny new '99-spec rears!!

Hi all, This year has flown by, so before it's too late, we have to chose our exhibitors for this year's show.... Classic Motor Show | NEC Birmingham (necclassicmotorshow.com) It's a full-on event; you will have to be there on Thursday 11th November (at a specific time allocated by the NEC) to place your car on the stand - and you will not be able to drive away again until late evening on Sunday 14th November. You may, of course, drop your car off on Thursday and then return to collect it on Sunday - subject to leaving the keys with one of us who will be there for the duration. However it would be preferable if you could also stay and man the stand for the whole weekend.... It is a big commitment - but you will have the privilege of exhibiting your Zed on the world stage, in one of the very best classic car shows of the year! We are still debating on whether the club will fully fund the hotel costs this year, but for now, we need volunteers..... If you are interested in exhibiting your car, please register your interest in this thread. We need 4 to 5 cars - probably 4 for the stand, with one in reserve. Once we have enough interest, we'll put it to the vote in order to select the top 4 and reserve. Ideally, we'd like one of each style on the stand - LWB, SWB, convertible and modified.... But ultimately it's the members' choice - providing we get the volunteers! Thanks for your support, Richard

Many happy returns Steve - have a great day mate!! Richard?
