He's referring to your aerial - there is always some "debate" on here about whippy or stubby!

No, he means the radio antenna on the nearside rear wing.

Ahh that took some time to sink in.. Well it is kinda big and long, which can be good in other circumstances ;-)
but not my favorite part of the car.

That's probably why stubbies are popular - my current one came with one:-

Lovely car ... interesting to see the price, more than it would be in the UK but a good deal I reckon as used car prices in mainland Europe do tend to be higher

One of my plans for my Zed is to visit Switzerland

Congrats on your new car

YEa I decided just to be frank and share the price with you guys, after I did that i saw some cars for sale on the forum and saw that the UK prices seems to be a bit lower. I have checked the marked here for quite som time, so pretty sure i did a good deal. the next car that is comparable to mine is around 2000 pounds more expensive than what I paid, so still pretty happy with what i got :)

Let me know if you ever decide to Visit Switzerland I can give some advice if needed, or maybe join you for a a little drive around :)

And thanks a lot.

tThx for the warm welcome guys.
What a nice forum this is. Have been putting some miles on the Zed, and I must say the more I drive it and the harder I push the car, the more i enjoy it..
Its really a great I had my first propper roadtrip in the car. 700km in two days going over the Furka, Grimsel, Susten and Gothard pass. it was amazing and the car keept up all the way with my friend in his 220hp Elise. so pretty happy so far. See you all around.
