Default More on Guilford Z

I know most of you have seen this car but for anyone that hasn't.........

I had to drive from Dublin to London yesterday, the first time I've driven through England, and I decided to go via Guilford. At lot of things struck me about the trip;

The roads in England are brilliant.... (they’re sign-posted and everything)

The number of speed-cameras is incredible, I'd say I got so many points yesterdaythat I'll never get to drive my Z

English women are way better looking than the Irish

erm.... anyway.. back to the car,

The main point is that it looks sooo much better in real life, the thing that struck me was the wide wheel arches, which gives the car a real mean look. The seats are really good and the driving position is perfect, also the interior quality is nowhere near as bad as what I'd heard. It's certainly not BMW quality but it's not going to put me off.
I might have to go back to London over the next few weeks in which case I'll have to get a drive, in fact I'm tempted to go over anyway, it really is that good!!
That's if I still have a license....

Has anyone spotted a Z North of the Border?

The speed camera issue is worthy of a separate web site [never mind just a "post"]

The fact that the powers that be have decided to focus on the "speed kills" message instead of "careless driving kills" we are quickly turning into a society where you can't drive a car like the Z without getting zapped by the cameras. Its just a licence for them to print money.

It winds me up! Ban the cameras and get some common sense into policing.

The association of bristish drivers is worth a look i think......

Firstly Paul, are you pisshed - bristish indeed

but I do agree...

What is it with all the Gatsos & mobiles?

& why is the inside lane always clear?

What's with the "I'm doing 70mph, therefore I should be in the outside lane" (Doh)
Drive on the inside, overtake on the the two/three overtaking lanes! (rant)

Until road use is policed, & not just road speed, I think we've got a problem, all be it a lucrative one for the Government.

Just my law abiding view on the matter - sorry

Speed cameras!

Bel 550 @ Ł320

Best car accessory I've ever bought.
Recommend it to all Z owners.
