  1. You are all sensible adults and there is no harm in this thread or anything that's been said, and if we started removing pointless threads, well, bang would go my bed time reading Personally for me I love both the 350 I had and the 370. I'd have to say the 350 was more fun on the road but in the roadster format the 370 looks better and the cockpit is a nicer place to be, but I still miss my old 350 and the Milltek and berks hfc combo. But would I go back, no. Well said Will, there seem to be too many previous owners on here who can't possibly hear an intelligently put comment on 'their' car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Sign of the times I guess, not much in stolen cars I guess but when people are desperate they will nick anything... I am using the term 'people' in the loosest possible way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. May well go to Brighton yes Martin, lots of people I know going so will be good to catch up and chat about all your 'cheap' cars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I'm talking about the bottom end of the Zed market, those ARE cheap, if you have to work long and hard to afford a 2003/2004 Zed on high mileage then you are in for a shock when it comes to buying tyres or modding surely The days of 90% of owners on here having to pay £10k + for a weekend car are long gone, just being realistic that's all. Nothing offensive about something that is cheap, for the performance and looks of a Zed they are ALL cheap in my opinion, performance and handling of a much more expensive car... A lot of people will factor in purchase price + expected mods in their budget. I could have afforded a lot newer 350 if i hadnt wanted to put my touch too it. I dont see a huge enough difference to justify the newer model so would prefer to put that extra towards making mine better (in my eyes), i am not only talking looks, but handling/performance, again to suit my expectations. Ah yes, another mention of the good old days of the forum and 350 ownership, when the forum was great and it was all trees round here when i was a lad If you think 350's are cheap, slow and plenty of other pops at them, thats absolutely fine, we are all entitled to an opinion, but to hang around and feel the need to share this on a owners forum is just plain odd It's not an opinion it's a fact, aZed over £10k would have to be absolutely mint, plenty of older ones for around the £5k mark which is cheap for such a powerful performance GT car... When have I had pops? I can state whatever I say from a lot more miles driving a Zed than most on here Zeds are not the quickest, not the prettiest and getting cheaper all the time, doesn't make them any less desirable though As for the forum being great, it certainly was, is it not now then Funnily enough I was talking to a very well respected trader from here today about cheap Zeds, he agreed that you can get a Zed for say £4k and then new tyres, discs, pads, clutch & flywheel and you have spent half of what the car is worth how is that not cheap to start with... The Zed was designed and meant to be an affordable car for the people wasn't it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I remember doing a look-a-like thread as well Mr Cleese Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Sorry to hear this, I have always thought that if my car was stolen I would hope it wasn't found... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I caused a bit of 'fuss' on the Jag forum Just find it uninspiring, I am sure it will get along the road nicely and handle very well but it just looks so bland! Made me laugh as all the Jag owners on the forum go on and on about boring Audi/Beemer & Mercs then starting saying what a brilliant car the XE is... for me it loses everything that is great about the XF, the presence and the interior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Just had a short passenger ride in a leaf, very nice I must say Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Nice review, sounds like a perfect commuter vehicle, not sure it would be much fun planning longer journeys around charging points but then that isn't exactly the point of a leaf is it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. R.I.P. focus, time for something different Col Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I miss all these stories, I expect Will is getting up to all sorts of fantastic yarns these days... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Yeah not my cup of tea either Martin, which is why I am saying wrap it, inexpensive and when (sorry if) you think it looks crap a 20 second job to remove it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Nothing more to be said imho Yep, older 350's are cheap cars so why spend £100s on a real CF bonnet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So older 350's aren't cheap cars then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Could this be a cause of my problems? Noticed one of my wheel weights seems to have gone missing, although it might of been like this prior to yesterday. Just looks as if it has fell off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That could very well be the issue, well spotted! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks, let's hope so 👠where would I go to buy the weight that seems to be missing or is this a specialist job? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Any tire place fella, not sure they will 'sell' you a weight they will probably want to rebalance it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. I don't have to be in the jungle to get that feeling back again Anytime mate, thoroughly enjoyed last time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Nothing wrong with a decent wrap, don't listen to people saying it has to be a real CF body part, from what I have seen a lot don't fit perfectly, at least with wrap it is cheap and if you don't like it then easily reversible in 20 seconds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I think although it has shades of Jag or the front grill, it is way too German looking, take the leaper off the back and it could be a 6 year old Audi... even the interior has been made very boring, they are after the repmobile market obviously which is fair enough but owning/driving a Jag should be much more about style & purpose than the XE imo Not so keen on the new XF either, again looking more Germanic that a Jag should...
