View Full Version : ZS number 6....
Well I am currently sitting at Edinburgh station, on the train bound for Grimsby. Hopefully a nice quiet journey before picking up Mat C's old car!
Am sure the journey home will be less quiet!

Have fun, sounds like a nice run back up.
:yes::yes::yes:
wish i could afford another 180 best of luck Blair m8
Cheers. The fun really starts when I get back tomorrow and continue stripping the old one. I say that sarcastically!
Took an age just to get the front wing off last night due to well hidden bolts and clips!
At least I have made a start and have one wing, skirt, front and rear bumpers off. Headlights removed and centre console.
It already looks a sorry sight :(

Have to have a hand on meet, with some of the gang up there.
Get a lot done, plus its more fun having a laugh and a burger.
I'm sure I'll manage! Not the first time I've done it! Luckily throughout it's ownership, people have adopted the "oh look, a spare couple of bolts!" and left most things attached by one or two! Very reassuring as you can imagine!

Awesome ... !!
Excited for you.
Done exactly what you're doing now a few times - flew to Newcastle for the diesel and trains to York and Portsmouth for others. Enjoy the whole day mate and especially the drive home. Hope it exceeds your expectations.
Cheers Dan. I've never flown but have trained bused and driven to my previous ZS's. Including Peterborough and Leighton Buzzard. Maybe should avoid flying for fear of a movie coming back to haunt me! Steve Martin had no luck on that trip!!

Ahh the buzz and excitement of going to pick up your new ZS. can’t beat it. At least you can rest assured Mats one has been enthusiast owned. The one i went to Walthamstow to collect could have been a right dog. I was lucky but the whole journey down i was thinking of things i had to look at before i parted with the cash. Plus its was hard to completely relax on the journey back as i knew the thermostat leaked. Im sure your journey back will be a completely different experience. Enjoy :)

My next will technically be 5 so not far off!
Yeah, I'm hugely confident in Mat's car. He has answered more of my questions that anyone should have to about a car! He has been great and it's clear that the car should last. Only thing I'll be doing is swapping over my mods to upgrade it. I just can't wait to have the twin exhausts, the lack of symmetry on my ZS's has bugged me for years!

Brings a tear to the eye, when it drives off into the sunset.
:yes::yes::yes:
Lead him out to a petrol garage so I had the Zed filling my mirrors up for a few minutes, left him from there to make his way on a very long journey up north!

I wonder if he is back yet or just blasting around those Scottish back roads?
Didn't leave until gone 6 so i guess there's a few hours left yet!

Too many issues. Think he wanted just to get out and into a fresh start.
Hope the drive back northern going well and hopefully get to see it when I meet you for the spoiler bud :)

Or parked it on it's roof like previously ?
Pretty sure all will be well and look forward to seeing it in the flesh
Yup, home safe and sound. Car didn't skip a best and was very spirited as expected. Very tired now though!

Morning.
By the way this one is your last.you aren't allowed many more,as some of us are only on our first or second and people like you keep buying others up and preventing us from replacements heaven forbid we need another:cool2:
Haha, at least I recycle Grimmy :)
Personally, I hope this is my last one too!

Just stop messing then up then.this one stays on four wheels remember
And stop changing plenums the way some folk change their socks.:slap:
But I need to keep putting in the vis motors I repaired!! And I put the first one on its roof and am I allowed to forget it...? NO! Marcus blew up one of them :p
Wasn't his fault you never checked the coolant level and he also helped fix it and what happened then? Nothing.you selfish sod wanted to take your kids on holiday instead of letting us drive the nuts off the car.bloody poor show in my opinion:chop:
Smokey... you need to update your signature... ;)

This much is true, I do feel bad and I miss the track days too but they will be back next year!
And my signature IS up to date?!

Funny you telling the IT Admin to clear his cache LMAO!
I think its actually the proxy server I use (it still has the XMas Decs Cached) so I will have to log in and reset the cache on there as well.
So... its a black MK2? I was sure Mat had a Copperleaf MK1... :punk:
I did - 7 years ago! Crikey I know I don't come on here a lot but, 7 years??!!!

7 years ago? Fair enough, shows how quick time flies!
You call yourself IT... :p
My join date on here is after I bought the black one too!

To be fair, I don't really remember you on here much, its mainly back from the XPF and BTCC days :) so thats probably why I didn't realise you had the black one. :pepsi:
My for sale advert should have given the game away ! ;)
