Re: Prices on the up
Jeremy Clarkson’s Clown’s Shoe comment. He was referring to the Coupe. James May choosing a 1.9 auto to cross a desert in and then moaning about it being “hopeless”.

Re: Luggage rack fitting
I’ve found the dimples! One easy to see the other three well disguised. I wondered whether the facelift lid differed in some way. No I just need new glasses.

I totally agree about the lack of rearward vision. I’ve only used the case a few times in 16 years but I’m glad I’ve got the set.

Hi again
The reason I’m asking is that the facelift boot lid is double skinned unlike my earlier Zed
Anybody know whether this means I can’t fit the rack?
I’m OK with drilling the holes if there are guidemarks
Thanks

Luggage rack fitting
I have a genuine luggage rack and fitted case that I fitted to my old Zed.
I now have a facelift 2.2 and can’t find the little indents on the boot lid that mark the places to drill the holes.
Any advice chaps?
