ThomasSoerensen Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi guys and girls My Zed is in the garage since Saturday to get the new rear bumper and rear light fitted due to a neighbour crashing into my baby while I was parked. So a clear insurance job. Due to my work and travel schedule I will only get Zed back on the 23rd. I already miss it sooo much. I have been using the wifes boremobile for work these last days and it does not help. How do you guys cope with being Zedless when the car is in for fixing or upgrading? Maybe I should just go to bed a cry a littel bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I used to work away a lot. The longest I was away in one go since I bought the Zed I think was a 6 week trip to Algeria. I have a load of 3-4 week trip home for a couple of days and away again for 3 - 4 weeks though. I think that was tougher. My laptop always had Zed pics on the screensaver and it used to make it worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put mine off the road in the winter and its a nightmare sitting looking at it and knowing you can't drive it. After not driving it for a while, then going back to it, you realise why you fell in love with it in the first place. After driving the same car for a while you get used to it and dont really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasSoerensen Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 and I still do not have The Beast back. They say the Strosek bumper is a horrible fit so they have had to modify it a lot to get it to fit. I hope I get my car back on Monday.

geoff-r Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I had been without my Zed properly for the best part of the last 3 months, it was with Nissan. That was killer. I know how you feel, don't worry it'll be back before you know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Better to get it back right, otherwise it will probably bug you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
