To be honest I would keep the zs . Better the devil you know as they say . Id just spend the money out on her and you can have many more years happy motoring , and I,ve gotta say they still get the looks when you drive past people I,ve also had a few people including girls saying how nice it looks so keep it mate .

Thanks for the comments folks, probably will keep it and spend a bit. Its luck with a car most of the time, I know people who have spend thousands buying a car and then had to spend thousands on it. I bought a rover coupe for £500 and it ran sweet for 2years with just an mot. It burnt that much oil there was no need to change it.
I was also looking at Rx-8's but I'am unsure about them. If I was buying woundnt spend more than 2k. If I spend on the Zs I could sell for a grand in a years time..

Really busy at work doing 70hours a week, once the contract ends I'll go see Zred

The only way you'll have time to get to the night club is if you worked in one LOL.

(Don't mention the WTD and a max 60hrs in a week).

I worked with a guy before who told me that you can't use an Rx 8 in the wet, he often spoke a load of **** so i thought he was talking crap. Lol

The guy you worked with was talking cr4p, they're fine in the wet, but they do have other issues which is why they're so cheap secondhand.
