I would have asked for a Mustang

What is a fun cool car thats practical and similar price to the Zed then ?

Loved reading that and the suspense at the end was priceless I tried a similar thing with my STI a few years back... I though fook it for the extra couple of quid I will drive it how it was meant to drive.. Great thread Dan

Different I suppose... but you will probably pay the refurb twice.. Once for yourself and once when you want to sell as they certainly arent everyones cuppa tea so you will probably have to return them to standard. Nurrish has had similar issues with his wheels

Ha ha.... close 'maguiores' fail on you both magiuors You sir, fail at pointing out fails! It's "Meguiar's" Ha ha - yeah Husky .... I was failing Player on his spelling and copied and pasted it.... I didnt risk spelling myself in case I did what you did ' HUGE FAIL' !!!

Could be fun Im just looking at alternatives.... There just doesnt seem to be any way to take Carmela out in the Zed and if the missus needs the SMAX then im stuffed... I luuurve the Zed and every thing associated with it but for her sake am I being selfish for keeping it

1000% agree with you there Mike... I would just blend into rush hour traffic without any admiring glances

Husky had an old shape one but im not sure it had the same engine.. It felt good when the Turbo kicked in but not as fun round corners... It is family friendly 'which I could do with'..

Well I was bored so thought I would... I have to say I didnt notice a huge amount of difference in performance between the Two cars. I do really like the way they drive and the practicallity of them though. Needless to say I ragged the RS more than the ST and it didnt feel as planted as the Zed through the corners. I wouldnt be able to afford the RS at the moment so I was just test piloting it to see what 'apart from bordering on chavvy design' it has compared to the 2.5l Turbo ST. I can pick up an ST for similar money to the Zed so I have been looking through the forums and reading up on them. They are easily tuned up to 300bhp and for under 1k they will give similar performance to the RS and as good if not better than the Zed. There does seem to be a few reliabilty issues particularly in the 07plate ones where new engines have been needed but all in all they seem pretty good with cheapish running costs. No immediate thoughts to swap the Zed as yet 'especially with the part chop value they offered me ' but when the time comes its definately a family friendly car that ticks the boxes. Comments welcome from anyone with any thoughts are experience with these cars Not actual cars I drove

Because you were enjoying soooo much

Very impressed with this series , that wasn't the best episode but that fezza was lush !! Gutted it's the end of top gear for a while, oh well back to the re-runs on Dave and the footy starts next weekend !!

Ha ha.... close 'maguiores'

Looks minging imo Old one was much nicer

Sad news indeed. Feel for you Jay she sounds like an amazing Lady that achieved so much. My heart goes out to you and your family x

I followed a guide on here, I think Big Phil put it up but cant remember... Try doing a search It must have been simple if I did it

I just greased mine up... been a year since I did it and no more creeking... try it and save your money, if it doesnt work then change them.

Welcome bud I used to have a creaky bum but I just greased my axels and never had a prob since... CS Sells Rota GTRs and has pics on his thread... drop him a pm im sure he will help you out

Sorry to see you go bud .... I will second Stews comment on the Beamer... I like the running costs but unfortunatley thats about all I like of the 1 series im afraid... They remind me of a big nose

How much are these going to be then Husky ?

Not keen on that tbh... birds pretty fit though

Hey - welcome to the forum Where are you from and wheres the pics of the new motor

Personally if I really really want something and im happy to pay the money I don't bother haggling much. I just ask politely if its their best price and normally they will knock a bit off.

cant believe the portion sizes, one meal must be a daily intake of calories Great pics... I will have to take the family one day

The more I see of 'Biggy's' work the more impressed I am... Top Job again
