My year

Well......as I sit here......bored out my head....

I thought I would share a recap of my first 9 months of ownership of the ZS180.

Bought it in March 2007 for £3200........drove 10 miles home......diagnosed with bottom end problems......

then steps in EMS who confidentally and reassuringly put my ZS back onto the road and back to full health with an engine change and clutch change and god knows what else to be on the safe side to make my car reliable as requested

next came the trip to Norway where I nearly smashed it up over a speed bump......some more repairs later and its back in one piece....

then a plenum change........

then Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres and mk2 rims to pass the MOT.....

some £8000 later (including car purchase)......and my car is on the road and running well.......in fact........today it felt unbelievably quick.......like being shunted by an articulated lorry at the traffic lights.....yet it still needs induction.

It's been a tiring and emotional year.......but an interesting one with all the problems my car has had. I hope next year (New Year) will see a lot of high speed action and use from it.

Smitten Jim
