Now that's not a pic you see every day. Nearest my Zed has been to that was at Targa NZ display, was our lovely lineup of Zeds, then a cop car rocked up and parked beside my Z.

Solution, wear black.

Well if the rest of the car was like that 50/50 on the drivers door, then you certainly got your moneys worth. Looks stunning.

Megs polishing pad with menz ip and menz ff, brought them up a treat Excellent.

Awesome, and not really that long since you joined the forum either. Enjoy!!!! Still got mine coming close to 5.5 years later.

Haha, love it!!! Don't worry, that Cheshire Cat grin tends to start again every time you get behind the wheel. Plastic surgeons will love us lot in years to come. Azure is a stunning colour, would have been my second choice. Like Sunset comes to life in sunshine.

Aaw, cute. That's a good thing she likes your Zed. Weren't the guys crying out for a white Zed to go to the Hoon????

+ 1 on that too. Easy to have checked too.

Definitely check your tyres first. Also I'd be checking the rim/s to make sure they're still perfectly round. Although with rims the noise tends to be there all the time, obviously varying according to speed and how damaged the rim is. Another though, although probably not so likely. If a tyre has an unusually thick spot where the join is, that can produce noises too (most would probably miss it though). To be able to pick that though, you need to find a perfect smooth surface, go very, very slowly, keeping both hands on the wheel so you get the feed back, and if there is a point where it is thicker than it should be, you should be able to feel a slight lump on the offending tyre. Try a few times to be fairly sure. Had a "thick tyre" 2 sets back, and when we took the tyre off the rim, it was quite noticeable. Tyre shop were very good as the tyres hadn't done much mileage, and swapped them over for a totally new set. I've spent a lot of money with that tyre shop and send them a lot of business, so that may have some bearing.

Yes Nurrish, tell us where. It's rather a nice one, not matt and not tacky silver.

Hmm, maybe there is a slightly different setup in the UK ones. The full spec one I had a look at in the showroom, and one of our guys has purchased one, have a space saver and the AMP gear in the boot for the Bose. Stew sounds like you did what I did and took all the bits out in the back and had a good nosey around, whilst the salesman watched on closely. Not quite knowing what to think.

If you look underneath the mighty space saver should be there.

Aaaw, poor car. Nice flake pop Stew.

Stunning work. I can see why it has a few credits. Out of curiosity what did you use on the tail lights??

Well with it being an american product, you'd expect it to be cheaper in the US...add all the so called taxes and crap the UK gov'ment put on top and there you have the rip off price... Bingo. + 1. You have to allow for that and the shipping across the waters. Although I don't use Meg's anymore, bar the window and carpet cleaner, it's very reasonably priced I think whether paying Pounds or Kiwi weak dollar.

I took quite a few Monaro's and GTO's for a fang when I was initially looking at my Zed. They look alright, heaps of torque, they're just so heavy and a bit wallowy. Certainly make the Zed look extremely agile. Not bad looking motors, but they stopped making them. It was just like being back an old marque for a little while as the original Holden Monaro's 20 years or so ago. Out of curiousity, are the Monaro's & VXR8's high steal items in the UK now?? Very high steal rate here unfortunately, for the underclass.

So, are you enjoying the new car Jay? Or still out driving everywhere?

I'm sure there's a car under there somewhere. So did you give the car a full detail, or just a bath?

Not bad cars. I quite like the current line up of Holden wheels too. There's like a million and three of them here, being so close to Auz.

Also the better your tyres are, the less often you loose traction anyway.

Thats nuts!!!!!! Unfortunately it's not usual. It's happened to two of my friends, both after a Nissan dealer service. Had this happen with my own car with coolant, told them it was low, went to leave and they hadn't filled, but had charged me for it. Furious. As it's already been asked if it's a rev-up engine some of them have had a tendency to burn excessive oil. Very well documented on www.my350z.com.

Well Jay, about bloody time. Goodness knows you've talked about buying an Aston for long enough. I guess it's not too bad.

Howdy.

Take some pics if you get a chance to stop somewhere on your little jaunt.

+ 1. Or maybe drive a bit more slowly according to the conditions.
