Pablito

Nice one Gary, top bloke to go and have a look and all that. Gotta love this club. :thumbup1:

Looking nice and shiney Jane, top job, it's a bit of effort, but well worth it. I will be giving mine a bit of TLC this weekend if the weather holds.:cool2:

I did a bit of research on these stillen lips, and thanks to a bit of advice from FunkySi i found that Z1 motorsports were the cheapest.

i bought a set of brackets which had been modified and still fit in normally but allowing for bigger speakers to be used (not quite as big as 6x9s but definately an improvement over the little ones that were in there.)

I would agree with above though, get yourself some decent front speakers and you will be fine.

I will post some pics later on,

:duffer: Happy Birthday :duffer:

Welcome bud, nice car :gunsmilie:

Do a search on the taga seals, or leaking taga etc as there have been many threads with tips and solutions to the leaky saga. Some have taken them off and soaked in warm soapy bath, other talk of rubbing in some stuff to make the rubber more like they were when new (bear in mind they are 20yrs old)

Alternatively you can buy new one from zcenter (trader on here) and Z1 motorsports i think. Likewise the other traders (DTA etc) could probably source some for you, but they are not cheap so worth trying the search and as dazVert says check your drain off pipes aren't blocked. (do a search on this also)

Anyway - i hope you love your new car - Oh and try lynbrook for insurance they do second car insurance (comes under classic) and they were the cheapest for me.

This guy is a joker, but none of those look as bad as the yellow bumper he was trying to sell - that was just wrong

Think more the camera loves her, bloomin photogenic people..plus i was egging her on doing me Austin powers bit!

Madagascan beach 15 metres from her parents back gate

Wow mate, i guess this is one of the few cases that the old in-laws come with some perks!

Is it me - or does your missus love the camera?

ps that is one hell of a sunset

worth buying just for the top gear track :dance:

For real is it going to be on there?

Nice :rockon:

Hmmm, i'm not sure mate, the jury's out on this one for me.

Like you said at least it's an original one off, and it looks to be done to a high standard. I didn't realise how much that black strip contributes to the lines.

those really are bright leds :cool:

and i think that dazvert is right a 3/4 plate would compliment.

Nice one Daffy, we should hook up sometime as your just down the road from me - I live in Didcot and work in Wallingford

Put a few more miles on the car in convoy. I haven't seen any other Zeds round here.

i pulled up outside my daughters house the other week and this young kid about 12 asked me what car it was . was it a porsche or a ferrari . i just smiled and told him he better watch top gear that week .

Why? I don't get it

where would we be without mates rates eh?

i asked my other half if i could enter her lets say it was a em polite no she gave me back lol

Yeah, thats normal once you've been together for a while, but what about posting a photo for the comp? :tt2::hammer:

Quality, its great driving them but when you see someone driving towards you in your car and you just think "YES THATS AWSOME" what a great feeling.

Agreed mate, i looked down the road as i heard the low growl, and saw her looking lovely and i felt exactly that.... AWESOME.

I will NEVER tire of the way the zed looks or performs! Sure, I'll swap my engine for a TT some day but they are awesome cars - wish my mechanic would work on mine for free in exchange for a go in it!!

Surely you can use your womanly charms, bat those big eylids to get a decent discount. :tt1:

I got a young lad who works at a specialised VW garage to change the pads and discs on the zed today. He does all the work on my Scirocco.

I was running a session at the local sports centre and on my way back to the centre i buzzed him to see if he had done the car, he had and came to meet me at the sports centre.

He got out of the car with a glint in his eye, and i quote "...f**k me Paul, I have got to get me one of these..... I mean i've been in some fast cars , but that just takes the p*ss..."

It was at that point that i pointed out to him that she was still in lazyboy mode, i.e. overdrive not on and not in power mode. He then said that he would do any more work on the car for free if he could get to go for a burn in it.

Cue massive grin on my face... i guess she doesn't feel that rapid to me as i drive her every day and have been lucky with my past motors (or more to the point my brothers motors which he allows me to drive) But it is nice to get that sort of response.

Likewise when i saw the car approaching down the road, i was reminded how lush they are, what a great design, 20 years on and still looking super cool.

Just thought i'd share that, as when i got home and told the missus, she looked unimpressed and bored.

I like the seats with inserts loads, the cream does look nice. I wanted to go for darker colours so went for a darker red.

Name: Polly

Age: just about to turn 30, and not happy about it

Work: Works for Footsteps Foundation, a charity for kids with cerebral palsy

Likes: Dancing, singing, gardening and walking she also makes stuff like clothes, bags, rugs etc.

Dislikes: The ammount of time i spend in the Zed and on the course.

We met about 4 years ago whilst working with some kids and have been living together for about 3 years now.

Like most women she is absolutely crazy, but she puts up with all my s**t and i love her to bits, we are as opposite as two people could be, but compliment each other quite nicely.

The original is just stunning, one of the worlds coolest cars IMO but i have to say that i quite like the replica as well.

Its slightly different - that one is just copied off the internet, but only slightly different - obviously no name or "england" on the proper one. I think that has been added for the american market - there seems to be a few Alcorns over there.
