MrsNiki Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 And here is the replacement... It's not really a mean machine, but it does have a twin exhaust and spoiler Needs must, cheap to run and all that, but I will miss my beast. Will be back in the game in a few years once house shopping is done and we are all settled. I did however pull up next to one of these at traffic lights earlier whilst in the zed, and it had a Zimmer frame in the passenger seat, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!! At least I know mine will fit when I get my 'comfortable and economical sensible car' I will be watching on here with interest to see if Zak gets bought up by somebody who joins the forum!!

rabbitstew Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 oh dear! We looked at these when my wife was looking for a car. I quite liked them but she decided to go with the Nissan Juke instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensh65 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Wow .... I feel for you.... but sadly the Zed isn't the most practical or kindest on the pocket so there is worse cars you could have been in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsNiki Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 SMD you are right, have you noticed the decline in girlies since you sold yours... Me, two bears, louise911 etc. It is gonna be hard leaving Zak at the garage tomorrow, but Daz the DS3 is a nice little runaround and smart looking. It could have been worse, I could have picked one with a pink roof... The good thing is I will still be on here, I may have got rid of the car but I'm not getting rid of my friends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Probably better to be honest with yourself than hang on to something that doesn't make economic sense right now. There'll be plenty of options when you feel the time is right to come back. Maybe you'll jump to a 370 next time you're in the market for a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 i will be back in the gang in a couple of years, just need to put my sensible head on for a few years Good to hear, and in the meantime have fun in the new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
