Pudzee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Well I'm honoured to be part of the Zee club finally......... i nearly threw up parting with the cash....... but blown away with it. It's just having a full service and MOT then somehow I've got to get it home 400 miles, does anyone recommend a good transportation company?

Ponsonby Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Why not collect it yourself? Take a long weekend, use public transport to get to the dealer (assuming they have it in Norfolk), then take 2 days to drive it back. You can easily do the drive in 1 day but you will pass through some lovely areas so why not take your time and enjoy .....It will be a weekend you remember. Turn the whole thing into a 'road trip' and a challenge - which it will be if you are using public transport to get from South Wales to Norwich.

veeg33 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 400miles won't be cheap if you hire a transport company, might as well spend the money on a road trip as above. Plan a few stops in between or maybe overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I second what ponsonby said. If youre light on pedal you could do it on 1 tank and a bit. Cars quite forgiving on long stretches.It will be cheaper than transport When I got mine i didnt want to wait, so i trekked up to Birmingham with my 350z nice drive, no fatigue. Got there under two hours from London. Then drove back the Nismo. Wow what an experience the first time. big difference over the 350. More torque and nicer all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Excellent choice .... Edited April 25, 2018 by Wayne370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudzee Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ha yeah a road trip sounds nice, but I've just done an 800 mile trip in 24 hours to view and test drive it.......... my backs ruined. The car is currently being serviced and MOT'd so that's why I couldn't drive it home yesterday. I know the transportation will be pricey, but so is travelling to and fro to pick her up on Friday...... plus my ass is still recovering from the 800 mile round trip lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Welcome along, congrats on the purchase. Shame I'm not closer I'd "deliver" it for you If you do drive it back and manage it on one tank of fuel - You must immediately sell it cause that's not how you drive a Zed!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amazing price for 380 mile trip. If anyone needs a car moving cheap then let me know and I'll give you his details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
