Hi.
Bought my Z3m in November from a garage near Newcastle, i'm really pleased with it

The guy in the garage was a good lad, gave me quite a good deal and was a pleasure to do buissness with.

I have been looking on the forum quite a bit. Its a great place and full of info! Seems to be a few great characters around.

Still trying to get used to the car, bit different from my last car. A diesel!!!

Anyway Thought i would say Hi!.

Hi Bigfut. Welcome. Your not too far from me (north of Leeds). At least 2 S50's in North Yorkshire then.

Welcome! Where was the photo taken? It looks vaguely familiar.

My Zed is wintering at the moment, but come March I will be out and around in North Yorkshire.

Hello and welcome, bigfut. Noice mota! Bet you can't wait for summer!

Cheers R.

bigfut · Post by **bigfut** » Wed 17 Jan, 2007 22:51

Yeah, summer cant come soon enough!
I would settle for a dry day for now, so i can stretch its legs a bit.

I have always wanted one since they came out and i passed my test!

9 years wait, but well worth it.

Welcome Bigfut - good to see a few forum members around this neck of the woods. Car looks great and I see suprisingly few in silver around here.

Watch out for the odd cruise around N. Yorkshire in a couple of months or so, there was a very spirited one in the Dales last October which I think Deano & Spokey enjoyed

BTW, do you think they would object to you practising powerslides and donuts on that nice big area of grass in your pic

BANDIT · Post by **BANDIT** » Thu 18 Jan, 2007 15:59

Hi and welcome Bigfut,very few silver ones about around here
Spunky M and Deano,I am from North Yorkshire as well,especially near you Spunky M,numbers seem to be growing in this rural area!,mine is an S50 in Estoril,best car I've ever had,still learning how to drive it after 12 months!
Cheers b

SpunkyM · Post by **SpunkyM** » Thu 18 Jan, 2007 17:15

I'll keep my eye out for your car Bandit, not many M's around here in general so I'm sure I'd spot a nice Estoril example a mile off.

Who do you use to service your car just out of interest (or are you a DIY man)?

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Thu 18 Jan, 2007 17:17

Sounds like we could have a well populated local meet in North Yorkshire when the weather gets better.

BANDIT · Post by **BANDIT** » Thu 18 Jan, 2007 17:27

SpunkyM,re servicing,have used the guys at Green Hammerton,very good,helpful and reasonable cost.....know what their doing,better than local dealers !
Will look out for your car

Bigfut:
Yes, Crakehall - I thought I recognised it. I use the A684 perhaps two or three times a year on my way into Wensleydale. It's next door to the lesser known of the two Newton-le-Willows!

The log cabins you mention are probably at Keldy. There are some great driving roads around there, and very little traffic - but don't tell anybody.

bigfut · Post by **bigfut** » Fri 19 Jan, 2007 19:55

Thanks everyone for the Nice comments.
I will be trying to clean her up when the weather improves.
Service on tuesday, giving Atlas At Sheriff hutton a go. Will likely post a topic on it afterwards.

Very suprised as to how many Zed M's there are round here, every time i see another zed there is always a flash (normally just lights though

)and a wave. Great community.

I know someone who did a few doughnuts on the green. Didnt go down well!!!

Looking forward to any meets, will be attending what i can.

Been given some great news today, Just married and Baby on the way! What a feeling. Not sure if i can keep her (the car

), will do my best! But i will make sure a get some proper use out of this summer just in case!!

Hi, welcome & goodbye then!

Hi Bigfut,

Take my advice, we had a baby 18 months ago and I sold the Zed. Thought an S type Jag might bring out the gentleman in me! Now here I am less than 2 years down the line and shopping for another Zed.
Put youe foot down with a firm hand and keep that motor!!
