100,000 miles sad news
 

Hey everyone

Just returned from my holiday to germany and belgium
decided to take the 180 as my leg was feeling ok was pleasent trip all the way there . hit the 100,000 miles mark on the second day. Was planning on taking the car to the ring on the saturday but friday night my clutch master cylinder exploded only lasted 11 months ended up paying a wopping 565 euros to fix it. So ended up with a piece of crap kia picanto for two days which is possiply the worst car ive ever driven overtaking a truck on the motor way was terefying.

Have sadly decided today that unfortunately im going to trade in the zs and the auto 45 for something newer its a shame theres no auto option for the 6

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help over the last few years from all you guys

Shame its got to go, hope you still stick around and let us know all about the new motor.

Shame but that is life. All the best for the future.

Least your not still in Germany, every cloud and that :laugh:

Look for some sort of minimum trade in deal.

All the best ....

Sorry to hear your bad news, lucky your clutch never went if you where driving The Ring
Keep us posted of your change of car & best of luck with getting a good deal on a trade in.

All the best, try and get the new buyer to keep the car in the club..........

All good things must come to an end but like others have said hope you stick around and also let us know what you end up with

well have sold the 45 to a friend and decided on a replacment car for the zs im going for a hyundai coupe have test driven one and was very impressed will hopefully get one early next week will stick some pics up when i get it

Not bad cars, decent price and spec too. What engine you going for?

Hopefully the 2.7 V6 :)

What Gen is it? An Siii? or a Gen3?

I'm going for the gen 3.5 2.0 litre engine as I'm buying another 3rd gen camaro as I miss the chevy 350 v8 noise and have regretted selling my other camaro

Nice :) I do like the Gen 3.5!

What colour? I think the grey ones, from certain angles, give off an almost Aston vibe.

I'd like either silver or black

The Black ones are lovely... especially when looked after :)

I said Hello to you on the other forum... but you don't seem to have gone back on there? :)

Ahh sorry dude haven't been online much lately work us crazy busy at the moment

What do you do for work? :)

I'm a housing strategy and procurement officer basically I make developers provide affordable housing / council housing

Well I have a new car went for a 06 Hyundai coupe v6 auto. The garage I traded in said they'd give me 500 trade in for the 180 or 500 off if I kept the 180 so I've kept the my 180 and I'm going to use if for a track day car

Best of both worlds, by the sound of it.

Have to let us know what you think of the Hyundai.

:):):)

Odd they paid you to keep it! :laugh:

They valued it at £zero!

Yeah they said it took them 7 months to shift the last zs they had .

The coupes taking some getting use to with the auto box but loving the interior and gadgets but missing the power delivery of the zs

Well that didn't last long some idiot in a an Audi pulled out on me last night cars a bloody mess i was going round a roundabout some people just dont look but I'm fine thankfully just been discharged dropped of my courtesy car it's a Kia ewwwwwww

Nightmare mate, Glad to hear your ok ..

Main thing is that you are OK, cars can be replaced.

Cheers guys I've still got the 180 in the garage think I'll drive that instead if this picanto

Pity you cant charge the insurance co, for hiring in the 180!!!

I've just spoke to them as I don't feel a picanto is the same as my coupe I thought courtesy cars were meant to be like for like there supervisor is going to phone me back

Plus my 180 is stripped for track use its only got the driver seat

Good luck.

Nightmare .....

:console:

Insurance phoned me its a cat d and they have come back with a second offer which is what i payed for the car so have accepted it.

Spent most of last night puting the 180 interior back in amazing how quick it took me to take bits out putting them back in took twice as long lol

You just letting it go then or are you gonna buy it back off them to break ? Sure there'll be some bits worth selling on here - the exhaust etc maybe ?

I'm hoping two I'm waiting to here back from them on a price for it
