Hello From Norfolk

Post by sishades »

Hello everyone, although this is not my first post I just want to say "Hello". I purchased my first Zed last October and have loved every minute. Anyhow, here are the obligatory eye candy. It is a 2.2 litre model and was bought from a dealer in North Wales. Since I have had it, I have replaced the old BMW stereo with a sparkly DAB JVC model and washed it a few times.

Anyhow what I know about cars would fit on a pin head so Im sure that over the coming years I will be asking some really daft questions.

I bought this model because it came with a hardtop, nice LCFC type leather seats, one years full labour and parts warranty and some free fluff in the boot.

UP The foxes.

Hi sishades and welcome to the forum :wave

The 2.2 is a good choice (not that I am biased you understand) :D

I like the blue carpets bit not sure about the passenger seat cover ... :oops:
A word of caution though - if we get any more snow and you want to go skiing, the back rack is the wrong way round :shock:

Ask as many questions as you like - they are never stupid if you don't know the answer :!:
Hopefully your knowledge will grow as you enjoy your Zed :thumb:

PS - up the Peacocks !

Burston is 3.874 miles (approx) north of Diss and is a very nice place to live.

That was a pressie from my wife a few years back as my main hobby is model railways. I had a bad back a couple of months ago and I used it for extra comfort.

Small world- I'm in Burston too (Z3 2 litre, silver). From the photos it looks like you're just down the road from me. I'm at the school house- round the back of the primary school. The area is obviously looking up!

Hi, Im in Wymondham, also have a 2.2 Z3 which I bought from Downham Market a month ago so there is a bit of a connection going on. No doubt somebody will soon mention that we are all related in Norfolk anyway :)
Great looking car by the way
