Re: Fond farewell from me...

Thanks for all the comments,

You guys really have been great, the sense of community on this forum has really added to the experience of owning a zed. I'm sure that one day I'll be back, but it will be with one that isn't used as an every day driver!

Best of luck and thanks again :)

My 05 reg Mini cooper, great fun on B roads. Never had anything go wrong on it and the MPG was great, a lot more forgiving too (not that I've done anything overly silly in the zed).

Would recommend it to anyone!
