Key while i waited- great service thanks mike - few other zed owners turned up whilst i was there with roof motor issues- probably only matter of time till mine goes or something else 😀so no doubt will be back .

How much was the new key if you don't mind me asking ? :D

Another fun drive up and down to Oakhampton camp today.. Roads a little damp this morning. Coming home this afternoon though, lovely cool air feeding the engine, bone dry tarmac, bugger all traffic, perfect driving conditions for pushing on.

Well you would. :driving: :D :thumbsup:

And of course a quick rinse and dry before tucking her up. :wink:
