There are lots of people on here who love em, and they have their place I guess, but for me, I prefer to do it manually!

I will never EVER drive an auto again lol

Oh, that Lexus was lovely, but it needed new brake discs and pads which the guy had but hasn't fitted (wtf?!) and like you said, the seller was a complete tool. Saabs aren't the prettiest of cars but I think they look mean and the power delivery was superb - super smooth and really rather fast :tt1: Only downside for me is the silver one, which Marc and my daughter seem rather taken with, lol, is bloody HUGE. Like massive. And I am 5ft 3. I like big cars but i would rather die than have to sit on cushions to see out of it lol - or use Tasha's booster seat ha!

Yep its my daily driver. I just can't get away with small cars Marty, I just HATE them. I feel too enclosed and hate the lack of power - the Polo lasted 9 days. I have tried to be eco and failed. Balls to it I want a proper, grown up car lol Even test drove an FTO last week. Looked stunning too, but it had the worst sounding tappity engine, the gear stick was like stirring porridge too. It just ain't Zedward! So til I can replace Zedward with another Zed, I need a nice, big, powerful, reliable, luxury car that I can fit my family in, and enjoy driving on trips back down South to visit my family etc....

I think buying another Zed at the moment is out of the question. Not many manual LWB n/a's around and those that are, are out of my budget. So back to the original plan to wait til after uni and get myself a SWB manual TT. Been looking around at various cars this weekend. Test drove a Lexus IS200 yesterday - what a lovely drive! But the car had some issues, nothing major though - but the biggest one was the asking price - advertised at £1395 by a private seller who then told me, after I'd traipsed to his house, and driven the car, that he actually wants £1600 for the car it was just that he'd had no interest in it priced like that online :cursing::confused1::scared: T0sser! Totally wasted my time! But, on the upside I drove his car and what a beautiful smooth drive it was... Then went to see a couple of Saabs - a 93 and a 95, although both were in a dealership, at the back of the lot, late in the day so I'm hoping to return on Weds to test drive them both. The other was today, a local Saab 93 - very nice car, loved it again, smooth ride, superb handling but again a few issues, non working air con, brakes needed sorting, central locking partially broken... I'll post the links below in case anyone's interested. Feel quite chuffed to have driven a couple of nice cars this weekend tho - and not felt obligated to hand over my wedge just yet! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201124391027536/sort/priceasc/usedcars/make/lexus/quicksearch/true/radius/10/page/1/postcode/ts78sj?logcode=p The price WAS £1395, he amended it after the test drive! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-Saab-9-5-Silver-/310304206544?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item483f926ed0#ht_1335wt_1139 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-Saab-93-9-3-/310310299084?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item483fef65cc#ht_1250wt_1139 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-SAAB-9-3-S-TURBO-BLACK-/220802199893?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3368d63155#ht_500wt_1156 Anyone ever had a Saab? I know they're marmite cars but I love em!

Does anyone fancy this next weekend? I will arrange a meet up asap, but I haven't got a car (any car!) at the moment as the MR2 needs a new alternator, so I need some wheels before I make arrangements, in case I can't attend. I could cycle to this event tho lol

I know, channel changed lol

Excellent - now you have another money pit as well as the Zed lol

Argh no way, Marc's still watching Murray! Morrisey didn't turn up at Glastonbury one of the years I went, and I went to see him!!!

I'm sure I've got a pic of your Zed from Japfest 2010! Recognised the paint work and plate!

Looks great :clap:

Hi from another North Yorkshire member and welcome. I'm planning a meet up soon, hope to see you there? Car looks great, happy driving :w00t:

No probs and thanks

Cheers Richard Test drove an FTO earlier, looked great but engine wasn't right - but to be honest it just doesn't feel like the right car. Not sure I have enough money for another Zed tho, much as I would like one. Budget is fairly limited as I have to keep some money back for starting Uni as I'll only get my small bursary once every 4 weeks and my rent and bills are still monthly

Yeah, off to see one later on, looks ok from the pics, we'll see tho! I think you should post some pics of your little chunk!

Ewww, its too orangey for crows, its just for me and my dog..... David Dickinson's wet dream, subtle it ain't!

Meant to delete that post,I found how to find him and PMed him cheers tho Gary

Happy birthday x

Happy birthday x

Thanks, hopefully I will find one. I will get a TT after I've qualified but I need something rock solid reliable really for uni as i'll need it as a daily driver for placements

What a total nightmare. Terrible work ethic, how can anyone run a business this way? I can start tomorrow, I'll see you a week Friday lol

Thanks, how do you search for a member? If I search Friday, i'll get thousands of posts lol Cheers

Yeah I don't think there's too many. Mackam Maz's blue one is lovely but just a bit out of my budget. Could still end up with a boreathon car I guess, I don't really wanna spend all summer with no car and Marc's MR2 is broken at the moment. My alternative is an FTO given Marc's said he doesn't mind me not insuring him By the way, how's your baby? Any pics?

Ha what did you sell it for, crazy fool?!

shame you sold yours :whistling:
