Z-ness

Thanks for the great welcome everyone, and the really helpful info. I'm due to drive a couple this weekend, 05 and 06 models, and that should help me choose. Sounds like the 300 isn't anywhere near as problematic as I'd been led to believe. Practically foaming at the mouth in anticipation. Choptop, I'm just down the road from you as it happens, near Bath.

Hi everyone Just signed up after a few weeks of soaking up info on here while I look for a car. Seems like a great community. I'm new to Zeds but have loved them since they came out. I've just packed up motorbike racing so now I can finally get one. Also new to forums, if I'm honest, so please bear with me while I learn the ettiquette and what all those little yellow people mean. Looks like assembly at ADHD school. I'm after a Roadster, 05-06, Azure (or black+Azelean), GT, low-ish miles. Have seen some nice ones around and plan to view a couple this weekend. Definitely planning some modifications and getting to a few meets too. Hope you don't mind if I ask a question straight off, to help my search - 276 or 300? More power is always good but I've read some worrying things about the 300's thirst for oil, relative lack of midrange and shocking road tax hike. So, all else (price, miles, condition) being equal, which would you choose if you were buying again? Good to meet you all. Jamie
