Hi All - First Time Z-Owner

[Dinsy]

Hi all, I thought that I'd finally introduce myself as the new owner of Rev's Zed.

My name is Ben, and I'm a 3rd year mechanical engineering student currently living in sunny Yeppoon (Central Queensland).

 

I have had my eye on buying a Zed for about six months now, the majority of which I have spent lurking on these forums reading bits and pieces to try and get an idea of what I actually wanted in a car. Which until Rev's came up I was just looking for something with no rust and in sound mechanical condition that I could slowly work on (and learn more about it along the way) and come out with a car at the end where I could say that "I did this". Not really what I'm getting from Rev's but instead I get the peace of mind that it is the result of a very well done project and that I wont find any nasty surprises under a shiny paint job.

 

After I had realised that it would be really hard to find what I wanted in a 2-seat 260, and that 240's in general seemed to be well out of my price range let alone those close to what I wanted. I actually decided that although they seem to less popular with most people, I really prefer the general body shape of the 2+2's, that and the benefit of the two extra seats to cram small people into.

 

I probably wont be saying too much on here until I have a much better idea of what I'm talking about, but I'll definitely be around lurking and soaking up what people have to say. I'll put up a couple of pictures of the car chilling at its new home once it arrives up here (give it a couple of weeks). I was going to wait until I got the car to introduce myself but as there seems to have been quite a bit of interest surrounding the sale I thought that I'd just say hi.

Hi and welcome! So another zed has left Mexico! Well done, you have bought one nice example of a 260 2+2. Should serve you well in the years to come. Theres always things to do to make it quicker, so you won't really get bored with it anytime soon.

It's going to QLD?! Well bugger me!

Welcome to the forum in any case Ben - finally someone who was serious about buying a 'great' Zed & had the cash to back up the purchase!

 

Dave has put a lot of work into RevZed getting it pretty right (as well as others... *cough*), so you've got an excellent, ready to drive now, Zed

 

Enjoy!

I think 'RevZed' in it's current form will be quick enough for 'most' people
