deank93 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If someone had a gun to your head and you had to lose the Zed in favour for another car, what would it be and why? I think I'd be torn between a 255 Clio V6 and an Evo Tommi Makkinen. Both are as rare as hens teeth, turn the heads of those in the know and by all accounts stunning drivers cars....and throw a few quid at the evo and your looking at some serious performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Depends if we have to stick to the same budget or anything? I could come out with an array of alternatives if there is no budget involved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Theres a long list of cars id like to own one day, ranging from old hotrods, through to classics, through to super cars. I actually nearly bought a clio v6 before I bought the zed, but after doing my research into the I changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same...only my mind was changed for me by when my wife when had a look and decided she hated them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I seriously considered an Evo TM edition before buying a Zed, but the 400 yard service interval put me off. I would probably throw a glance at an XKR or even a TVR! Guy off here, Ian, sold his Zed and bought a Ford Focus ST, now tuned to silly bhp and very quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank93 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 An Escort Cosworth has always been on my 'must own before i die' list.....but then i am from Essex so it is a legal requirement to own a fast ford at some stage in your car buying life.

Guy off here, Ian, sold his Zed and bought a Ford Focus ST, now tuned to silly bhp and very quick The wife put an stop to me getting a Tommi...i think i need to part ex her to be honest....I've still got the itch and I'm sure I'll scratch it next time around but you right about the service intervals, 4500 is a bit mental however like my Zed it would be a third car so it would be racking up miles too much. TVR would be very nice and huge fun until service time, I've always lusted after a Cerbra....if i went fast ford I'd have to go Focus RS rather than ST....as much as i like them i think of them like the boxster in that it considered the poor mans 911.

Ekona Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Assuming equal budget, and allowing for second-hand bargains and ignoring my bias for stuff from Stuttgart, I'd pick up a TTRS probably. Very capable cars and a great all-rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Would have to be a Porker for me, probably a Cayman S second hand I guess those of us with 04 plate Zeds vs those with newer cars are in different ball parks on what we can get as a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'd probably spin round Jackie Chan style, take the gun and blow their brains out. If they shot me in the process I'd press restart, load the last saved game and try again. Either that, or go for a noble. 'go for a noble' sounds rude.

I quite like the blob eye litchfield fettled T20 and Spec C....super quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If we're using the same budget I won't bother - just shoot me, in fact maybe it would be just about enough to buy my own gun and shoot myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck21 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Tough call and the source of much advert trawling! I'd say Z4 3.0 coupe, Clio v6, Megane R26 + cash to fettle, or a 968 Sport....or maybe a V8 M5....the list could go on but I don't think any provide the all round package that the Z offers for the money....
