Can I hang out here and avoid political ideological and fanatic discussion?

Thanks for the comments Everyone.

Yea, I gave up biking partly to appease my wife and partly due to the fact that NZ roads are notoriously dangerous. We have no motorways so all traffic must share the single lane roads.

Have booked the car in for a detail tomorrow, then I need to start looking for some interior parts as the switchgear appears to be easily worn and a number of mine need replacing.

I'm not so sure - at least Brexit had an outcome!

Whippy v stubby is still ongoing.

But I don't have either!

Mine is the same size as yours. Is this classed as a whippy

then as it’s the size I see on most Zeds?

Ahh, so Whippy and Stubby are aerial sizes?! Now that’s a debate I can get involved in

A stubby was a small bottle of beer when I was in NZ, and yes a stubby aerial was the first change I did to my Z

Welcome aboard. Take the time to scroll through the forums and you will see there are lots of ideas for modifications, updates etc, from angel eye globes to side indicator styles, tyres, wheels, you name it, and the already mentioned stubby v whippy. Lots of experienced owners who are happy to offer advice based upon their experiences. Two of the popular initial and easy mods are replace the run flats, if you have them, and get a stubby aerial.

Welcome

I have a friend in NZ you must know him he’s called Cliff ?

But then again he supports Leyton Orient so perhaps best avoided

Welcome fella, there’s a couple on this forum living in NZ, though probably both at opposite ends of your rock.

Keep well

Hi and welcome to the forum, great colour, looks lovely

First mods for me were stubby, LED angel eyes and LCI side indicators, it already came without the run flats.
Post another photo when you have had it detailed, we do like to see a shiny car.
