Seeing those amazing zed's and banners make me feel proud to be apart of this club.

Extra banners have now been dropped off :)

Yeh all is good and already laying down plans for the mk2

Hi guys, Sorry I couldn't be on site with you for setup and the rest of the weekend. But looking at the new plot I've decided and have arranged for a care package to be delivered on my behalf for setup. So look out for a special friend of mine called Mark who will be dropping by tomorrow morning with the two national banners which we should have on setup day. They come with wheel stands so your going to have to push your zeds over them to keep them upright. Within a week I will know what my plans are for next year and i'll be onsite with what i'm now calling my 'MarkII' zed. All the best and have a great weekend. Lee

Then if they do put it back on the road it will likely have a permanent mark on its history as a right off. I likely wouldn't trust it myself so I hope the insurers agree and give me what's due.

My assessment of it for repair would need the following : full rear quarter rear sill door (if we can get it off as its jammed shut with the impact) right wing side skirt 19" alloys and tyres rear suspension looks damaged back axle and everything connected to it looks twisted and the far left wheel has moved out a 1/2 inch. then the cost of another respray of which is almost 1/2 of the car which initially cost me £2500

Hi all, Finally got the pictures off my SLR that we took at the salvage yard in Dumfries and it doesn't look good.

forgot to mention that I arrived home about 15 minutes ago :)

Hi all, Many thanks for the condolences on my zed as I feel she as just died and I've lost part of my family and soul. I am so damn lucky that I wasn't in the zed in the first place. The incident happened at just after 5am this morning when I noticed I have very low oil pressure, both the stock guage and my aftermarket guage both dropped down to practically zero so I quickly pulled over. It was then I noticed that she wouldn't start although she seems to crank over ok. I'm covered by the RAC so I called them straight away and got out my zed and started to walk down the grass verge so that I could identify a road side marker so that the rac could locate me. After 15 minutes of walking we figured out where I was on the m74 and I turned around and began my walk back. When I approached the location on the hard shoulder I noticed a HGV parked up with his hazards on and a man came over who barely spoke English and asked if I was ok. Believing this was a friendly van driver stopping to ensure I was ok I never thought anything of it and said i'm fine as i'm covered by the RAC. At this point he returned to his van and headed off. It was then I noticed that another smaller van also just parked up near my zed and another man approached me. He then stated that he just witnessed the first guy trash my zed and then drive off and after that we followed in a chase. It took a few miles to catch up but we identified him and managed to pull his ass over then we called the police. I'm feeling gutted over whats happened as I've worked on this build for over two years but i'm guessing the emotions havn't hit base yet as i'm not as upset as I should be. The plan now is to get the insurance see if I can buy back whats left and buy a new shell and move on. Glad I had the sense to get out my zed as I did rather than just use my phones gps which I never even thought about.

It's a right off more than likely.

I'm still in Dumfries at the moment and my wife has arrived to the rescue.

Test drive done, it stalled only once when braking at a junction and never again. so I think i'm good to go, zed is packed with everything needed and likely be leaving in a few hours.

Dash back together and just going to take it a drive around the block.

Ripped out the immobilizer relays and done a botched together job with some choc block and its alive :) :) Just need to rebuild my dash.

OK, if I have no power at ignition side but all the fuses are OK, what can it be? Also tested the battery and it's fine

Took the zed for a test drive which went OK, But it stalled at the traffic lights and then I lost all power. Luckily just 500 or so. Meters from my house so gonna push it home. Update soon.

refitted the rest of the center of the dash after the gearbox was out then secured the battery back down. The plan was to then swap out the bottom crank pulley and I started with removing the belts but then I noticed that I couldn't find my socket to remove the damn thing so a trip to Halfords tomorrow to buy one. :(

Happy birthday Del :)

Always used the professional version of Microsoft Outlook and I think its the best.

two and a half hours in the rain and the exhaust is fitted and the rest of the intercooler pipes put back together. Started her up and the boost gauge went +7 but managed to find I missed a vac pipe and was an easy fix. Tomorrow I need to put the interior back together and also the major thing needs done is to replace the bottom pulley which I know is going to be a pig to do.

In about an hour I will be putting my waterproofs on to try fit my exhaust in the dark and its pouring. And it needs to be done if I want to show her at the NEC on Thursday.

Changed times when we have Si doing the modding !
