Calling all Moderators and Administrators

I've recently emailed webmaster@zroadster.net and a couple of other members that I thought could help asking if I could put up a personal post on this site. To date no one has responded to my request. Can anyone please point me in the direction of the correct person to ask? Alternatively I may just ...

I did it the other way round and bought my Zed then joined this forum. However I think I got lucky as my car is exactly what I wanted.

This may help...

Given me some great advice on the Zed and has also done some work on my other cars. Just given him all our company vehicles to look after.

P.S. doesn't do tyres himself but can arrange it for you.

So being relatively new to the Zed and not having a hard top am I right in thinking the roof is down when a hard top is fitted anyway? If so that kind of answers my question. I was thinking more of weeks rather than months anyway. Also looking to get a blanket which I understand may help.

Soft Top... Silly question?

May seem like a silly question… I keep my car in the garage every night and at the moment only use it when the weather is good enough to have the roof down. Rather than putting the roof up and down every time I use it what are peoples thought on leaving it down for long periods? Is it likely to crea...

Very interested in this post. The BMW specialist I've recently found suggested I took mine in to my local Kwikfit as I had the same problem as Roadster22i and needed a new tyre.

Picked my Zed up yesterday morning. Not quite the day I had in mind. My daughter was ill all day so the only drive I had was from the garage to home… but still one of the most fun 15mins driving I've had since I picked up my XR2i 20 years ago! Managed to get a drive out in the country this afternoon...

Sounds like the local Zeds are growing, may be a Cruise might be in the offering at this rate. I'm obviously very new to this so once I've a few miles under my belt it would be great to get a few Zeds together for Bristol/North Somerset cruise. I often pass a "Y" Titan Zed in Failand on m...
