Battery problem
ive just had battery issues myself . its hardly been used for the last few weeks for obvious reasons and the battery froze (literally). 6 hours by the rad for a gentle defrost and 24hrs gentle charge and she fired up fine this morning . the big test is if she will hold charge and fire up again in the morning . fingers crossed

bloody potholes
i cant believe the way the roads have fell apart again over the last couple of weeks . potholes everywhere and cracks . ive just fitted firmer suspension on my zed and as yet havent took it for a spin because of the ice . having seen the roads today im gonna get myself a gumshield for the maiden voyage to stop my fillings from rattling out . its a bitter pill to swallow when you think of how much we have to pay in road tax .

Zedworld xmas bash cancelled
having just got in i think this is very sensible . the roads around here are trechorous . i very nearly lost the volvo a couple of times driving very slowly so driving a zed in this around here would be life threatening . big sympathies to all at zedworld after all the planning but the only course of action you could have taken . andy

Zed lust
every time i walk past mine i think georgous . not many cars that stand the test of time like a zed . they would still grace a modern motor show.

120mph clocks!
its just a resistor on the back of the clocks that change the signal . always worth doing a check against a sat nav to get them spot on though.
