Taken a while but not long now , , ZMR no 3
As in one more sleep , lift to the station , 2 trains , lift off a forum friend then ZMR no3 will be heading home
Been a long haul this one , first contact with the seller was over 5 weeks ago via PH advert , 2 weeks of info / pics / chats / discussion at which point price was agreed only for the seller to have second thoughts on letting it go he had owned for 5 years so understandable . so it was agreed if the exchange was to happen it had to be done & dusted asap but i was heading to France for 10 days so many thanks to "Darren Slone " who living locally stepped in by doing the deal on my behalf & where the car has sat for the past 3 weeks .
Tomorrow being the first opportunity ive had to get over for it , to say i'm fizzing is a understatement it may be my 12th Z but the buzz hasnt changed , genuinely cannot wait to get this car on the road heading back home from Mansfield via the Peak district so into Hathersage , Hope , Castleton then out through Blue Johns Cavern to Marple , Bredbury & the M60 back to Lancs
Been 9 months since i sold my last ZMR to "Rally" & in that time i have enjoyed both the 35i & Si E86 but there is something special about the S54 , its hard not to feel the connection as soon as its started up . Very special cars & once again i will cherish & enjoy the whole experience

Great news Andy - it sounds like you might not sleep too much though!
You've certainly picked the right weekend to pick up a Roadster - enjoy the drive home.

Well for starters clean it , then clean it so i can then clean it Ive seen a few Zs along the way but i won't lie , the roof condition ive not seen the like of ever before & interior ive been in cleaner builders vans nothing that scares me but i struggle to comprehend why anyone would not want to make the car at least presentable to sell
Overall the above doesn't concern me , i enjoy the process of polishing a rough stone into a diamond & it drives right , feels right plus the history is impeccable

Jesus I’d be ashamed to have any car and let the roof get to that state, that’s just appalling.
