how reliable are these cars?
My import zed TT has started every time - from -5C to 32C. It runs like a pussycat around town and could idle up the face of a cliff in first with the foot of the throttle. Changing the oil every 3000 miles helps and not ragging it all the time.

Rust on UK/jap cars??
Zero rust on my import but i really dont like the stippled, bubbly like finish on the sils below the doors and at the bottom of the rear bumper... yes i am sure its not rust either heh. My dad had a Citroen BX that though never rusted had the bonnet and roof fade to a lighter shade of red than the rest of the body.

Faster than the Bugatti Veyron !!
Very nice. A Noble GTR for about £30K is a far more affordable proposition and that goes like greased lightining too.

Need good ahesive for vinyl to fibreboard
I shall try 'no more nails' Thing with the evo stick timebond is that it takes to long to do its stuff. So i get cramp in my hands tightly pinching vinyl for minutes trying to get it over a curve with no ripples.

Need good ahesive for vinyl to fibreboard
Yo yo and thrice yo I am replacing the tweed in my interior with red vinyl. Getting the knack of it but the t-piece that is inbetween the seats is not regular plastic but fibreboard. And the Evostick timebond stuff i am wont grip to the fibreboad. What else could i use. I think Araldite would be to expensive for the small amount you get.

Jap car wannabe's
The Fiat Coupe is a fine car but every owner of one i have come across has their head stuck up their derrier.

Graduate today!
I did computer science at UCE in Birmingham and hated the last two years. What was taught was so out of date it was more like Computing History. Still i persevered just so i could go nightclubbing 4 times a week for not a lot of money :)

Autoroute and GPS
Autoroute 2006 is good with GPS, has an american female voice for turn by turn directions and a very handy blue bar that tells you how close you are to the next turn. General problem though with LCD displays in the summer is that u cant see a frickin thing in bright daylight on the monitor.

Selling a house WITHOUT using an estate agent?
My parents sold two houses easily and quickly without an estate agent. Put an add in the local paper that did property. But that was before the internet. I wonder if people are prepared to dig through a newspaper when there is rightmove. Btw rightmoves location based search really pisses me off, totaly inaccurate.

Hello
Last year i got a SWB manual TT from Japan imported. All in cost for £5800. Which is a lot more than most zeds but i got a 6 month warranty with it that gave me piece of mind. Alas there are lots of bad zeds for sale. Often by dodgey high street car sellers. Its a total false economy to get one that has 'a few things wrong'. Get a good one. If you do around 250 miles a week you will spend £5000 a year at least on the fecker anyway hehe.
