Hello and welcome to the forum. There's always something going on here from car builds and rebuilds to pi55 taking members ripping into each other. We have regular meets and run outs throughout the year although it tends to be a little quiet over the winter months.
If you're looking for comradery there's plenty of it here and you'll soon become addicted to the forum.

If you're looking for adventure, join in our annual Euro trip to Holland where we meet up with our Dutch counterparts and where they let us do a couple of laps of Spa.

You'll love it here :beer

Dude you're dead to me lol
I'm due a drive down south to visit my families grave sides, I do it every December to lay flowers, once that's done I could head back north via Sunderland and maybe we could meet up for a coffee? Promise not to wear my colours lol.
Just a thought, but if the weather's iffy I'd be in my TT

It's 3M Satin Bitter Yellow vinyl wrap, had it done earlier this year along with a complete interior change.

Put your sunglasses on and have a look here :D https://zroadster.org/threads/3m-satin-bitter-yellow.18452/
That looks the dogs mate, you must have a garage to keep it in? or are the wheels and tyres brand new too? hard to believe it was black.
How durable do you find the wrap? Any special ways to wash it etc. Can I be cheeky and ask what the cost was? just a ball park mate cos my audi is needing a bit of a make over. I'd be a bit reticent in doing the zed as it is in as new condition, still looks as fresh as a daisy, still on the original tyres with 6-7 'm tread depth, maybe in a year or two, I think a new set of wheels and performance tyres is as far as I'll be going for now with the zed. Back to your car mate and it's truly stunning, one of my smarts was yellow with a black trillion and black wheels and it looked great

I'll also have a spare seat if anyone maybe has two family or friends that wish to go as long as we meet before the trip to make sure we gel, plus my zed loves a drink almost as much as I do⛽

I used to love driving them, always hired one at the airport when I got home from working abroad.
Also hired one when on holiday on Jersey for a week.
They're a different kind of fun to the zed and once my wallet recovers from my zed purchase only 3 months ago, and I can rent a garage then I'll be in the market for another Brabus☺

I think I'm in for that, as a newbie how does one go about co-coordinating things like ferry, hotels etc but I'm really really interested as I've never done an international drive. There are some fantastic driving roads in the north of Scotland which I also want desperately to explore so please let me know, would also really like to meet my fellow zed owners in and around Glasgow.

Apologies for the duplication of the pictures but I'm still learning how to navigate the site, I've only been a member of one forum previously (for the smart roadsters) which was very different to this one and as very almost a hexagonarian it takes me a while to get to grips with it, like learning how to delete unwanted pics,so, I'll try to do better!!
