nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I remembered WHY I bought my zed. Nice sunny day (despite the odd puddle or two). Went for a blast this afternoon down country roads to the gym, only half an hour each way but loved every minute. Since I've started commuting in my little diesel getting in the zed feels fab and I miss it like crazy when I'm not in it! I'm not normally one for driving around on my own on a weekend but I just might have to take it up I enjoyed it so much! Can't believe I've had this car four years in June - longest EVER I have owned a car which says a lot! Quote
Beavis Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Thats what i love about having a shed for the everyday commute, when you get in the zed you appreciate it more. Its a bit like wearing clothes, you dont wear your best stuff for work you leave them for somehing special. Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Dave do you EVER go anywhere special or do you wear a Tux in the Casino? Quote
Beavis Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 do you wear a Tux in the Casino? I would look a right knob if i did The zed never goes to the casino though i could never concentrate on my game if i did. Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Good stuff, but as someone that drives their Zed every day I can say that I feel special every day And yes I mean 'special' in every sense of the word Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Don't get me wrong - I would MUCH rather be in my zed every day but when you compare £70 a week to get to work against £25 you can see my thought process...........Having said that i will be in it on EVERY dry day regardless of the cost in summer I suppose!

Oh I didn't mean it like that at all.... I am lucky enough to be able to use the Zed everyday even though I sometimes have the choice of a very nice shed Even in crappy weather and M25 traffic the Zed is a lovely place to be indeed If I had a longer commute then I would maybe reconsider, but a colleague of mine summed it up the other day he lives further away and it costs him the same as me to get to work... and he drives a Renault Espace Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 and he drives a Renault Espace Poor sod! Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 and he drives a Renault Espace Poor sod! He has 5 kids all under 16 x 1,000,000 Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 He's well and truly made his bed then! Serves him right! Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 He's well and truly made his bed then! Serves him right! Not sure his bed has ever been out of use long enough to be made Quote
Maccaman Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Sounds like he needs a Zed to get away from the wife Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I've been driving a fiesta and a van mainly for the last four months, Its great when I get behind the wheel of the Zed Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Still hanging onto it then Chris? Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 My Zed is a luxury, but as I don't smoke, can't drink and can't eat anything that is actually nice then I think I deserve it Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 I'm with you on that one Dave - i don't smoke, rarely go out drinking, don't spend fortunes on shoes and handbags so any spare pennies go in the fuel tank - god how sad and boring am I? Quote
martinmac Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 i don't smoke, rarely go out drinking, don't spend fortunes on shoes and handbags Well two out of four isnt bad. Quote
Ricey Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 i don't smoke, rarely go out drinking, don't spend fortunes on shoes and handbags Well two out of four isnt bad. Which 2???? Quote
nixy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Martin you loon! haha. Having stayed with you and Liz at your house I can definitely say the heels suited you but the handbag was a bit crap! Quote

rog518 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I very nearly fell out of love with my zed the last time I filled it up,I drive a van all week and thought is it worth the money (which I dont have much of) to have for a weekend car? This morning at 6.30am driving the zed how it should be driven on empty country roads confirmed it was!! Been grinning all day Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Still hanging onto it then Chris? I couldn't bring myself to sell it, I've never been attached to a car like I am with this one. It's not practical, it's not cheap to run, I've just spent £7k on my rented property so things are tight but I love her, she makes me happy, she makes me proud and to see someone driving off in her would break my heart. Think most of us on here can relate to that. Quote

I bought some shoes today actually... no manbags though Quote
