My New Zed

Post by envy » Mon May 14, 2012 9:17 pm

well the day finally came yesterday where i got to collect it

got to glasgow the night before and the hotel wasnt too bad..... aside from the pool being out of order :(

Image

the view was quite nice.... if you ignore the car park

Image

finally got to the dealership for about 11am.... it was overcast at this stage and rain was coming down some. sat down in the showroom and had a quick look around before signing the paperwork

Image

then got taken round back to give the car a once over and it wasnt too shabby lol

Image

then i got some pics of me with the car prior to handover

Image
Image
Image

finally, left at about 12noon and had a looooooong drive back to derby which took me just over 4 hours and 285 miles...... i was pooped to say the least

and now here it is parked on the road

Image

and finally got round to putting the stubby on

Image

i did request debadged but didnt realise it wasnt until after i got home lol and it was too late by then :D

cheers guys, the drive back was enjoyable but i was soooo tired when i finally got home :D

and yes another recession white.... i only chose it as it was one of the easier colours to keep clean and my other car is red so couldnt choose that again..... although wish i had now

the auto box is great although a bit lazy in comfort mode. sports mode is more like it lol
