A pot of money Dan. It's been sorned since Nov '12 due to the holiday balance and spending money etc and now my dad's passing so it's not on my list of things to do. The longer it sits the more it needs to become roadworthy. x4 new tyres, two ball joints, brake fluid flush, ideally new brakes all round including discs and hoses, MOT and tax, so not much just expensive.

Once we have laid my dad to rest perhaps it'll be a welcome diversion and gradually get it looking good again. But it'll take a while as I don't have the money going spare to get it done in one hit.

Sorry to take the thread off topic. Hope to take in some driving roads when the zed is restored to good health. I still aim to take it up north for some action and see some of our northern friends, assuming I have some holiday left!

Inverness to Perth is sooooooo boring......everytime I drive it I think cruise control!

Stamford if you are ever up in Thurso give me a shout and you can borrow my zed td and give it a good thrashing up and down the A9....you just pay for the diesel and the speeding fines!!!

You need to stretch your cars legs every now and again. No point in having a fast car if you're gona drive everywhere slow.
