By Jove ....

.... I've got it.

Picked up the diesel ZS saloon today.

Stephen is a top bloke. Described the car bang on - flew up to Newcastle and we were done pretty much as soon as I saw it coming in to pick me up. Looks awesome.

Went to the pub, for a coke, and exchanged documents for ?20s and I was on my way back.

Pics in the week as it's dark now, but it's a great looking car.

Slow ...... VERY slow. That being said - 80 is 80 no matter what you're in.

Yep ..... I thought the 180 was good here anyhow, but yep, was decent enough urge from say 1800 - 2700, but then it just kinda - well ran out of puff to be honest.
