Hello Pete, welcome from a fellow 2.8 owner from Truro. You'll love the Zed.

I really like your wooden steering wheel. I'm not sure they were fitted as standard but I'd love one on mine

Hi PeteZ3, welcome from me another 2.8 owner down here in Hertfordshire, don't be frightened of the 2.8 power it comes on nice and smooth unless you drop the clutch at high revs, keep you ASC switched on until your used to the extra power then find somewhere nice and quiet away from other traffic and try it out. Good idea to get some track/skid control instruction if you can afford it, (remembering you've only driven front wheel drive car )that should put you in good shape if the Z tries to get away from you in the wet, of course this is only my opinion, but some tuition off public roads is invaluable to anyone including myself. Good luck and hope to meet you at one of our events in the near future. Rha, Roy.

Hi @PeteZ3, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. Looks like a great example with lots going for it. Small niggles are to be expected on these cars now, they are getting old so a bit of TLC is required. Best of luck & hope to see you on a cruise/meet sometime.

Hi Rha, Roy!

Thanks for the advice, my dad has had plenty of experience with rear wheel drive cars, he had a 4.0 mustang when he was my age and has had a few pretty powerful cars since and has never had a crash!! hah.. so i think ill go out to a track day with him to learn how to use the power/ rear wheel drive.

My cousin lives in hemel hempstead! im planning to go down there this summer to meet up with her so if theres a G2G down there then im more than up for it!

Glad to hear your going for the track day it'll be better than getting court out in your new wheels when you get them. A bit nearer the time if you come down this way, why not give me a shout on here to meet up for a chat and a look over each motor. Rha, Roy.

I will, If the zeds up and running that is! she might have a couple of problems, but hopefully she doesn't and all is well
