Re: Eisenmann Fitting Issue
That's my silver M Roadster in the photo. The previous owner fitted the Eisenmann exhaust. It is the sport rather than the race(in case they fit differently). If you go back a page in the thread where you found the picture (Bi11's S54 M Roadster - page 3)there are a couple of pictures that show the ...

Next to an Older Cousin
Only just got around to sorting out Photobucket etc, so thought I'd better post a couple of pictures of Shantybeater's old s54 as it looks now. Parked next to an older relative. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/Bi11B/DSC01226_zps54e4c9f1.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/Bi11B/DSC...

At least it is being received a bit better here than by the coupe boys.

Personally, I think that it looks very smart and I am sure that Shantybeater would approve if I put one on his old s54, but at the same time my head tells me that I only use the car as a fair weather toy and it would end up cluttering up my garage.
Still tempting though!

Mine is lowered and I have to be careful on poor country roads. Speed bumps are a definite no no. Seriously considering getting some 18" wheels just to give me a little bit more clearance (over the standard 17") but still keep the lowered look.

Afraid my daily is a Freelander 2, complete opposite of the zed. It does go up a lot of very rough farm tracks and off road frequently, which the zed would never manage! When it goes in for a service the dealer always remarks it is nice to see one being used as it should be.
