Almost time to part company

[mr wilks]

With the Zcoupe ive been nurturing since last October sorted the niggles it arrived with & found no others .
Its been another great Z out of the many but after next weekend it will be on SORN until the new owner collects mid March ( those who follow on Insta are probably sick of seeing it )
So having a free day today i headed out for the Fylde coast & returned via the Bowland Fells was clean when i left but 100 miles later its in need of a wash

Anyhow a great 4 hours spent with a few pics to share

Glasson Dock

That 3rd picture ( Cockerham sands ) those rear wings look mighty flared

Its what coupe owners buy the car for the car isn't even lowered which tends to enhance the width but the alloys have a fetching offset so perhaps that gives the car width ?

Same rear different beach further down the coast at Pilling sands where certain times of year the sand is hard enough to take the car on

Not half as much as me mate the M has been tucked up in garage almost 3 months now & i'm getting twitchy :evil: bearing in mind it arrived on a lowloader & i haven't ever driven it other than in / out of the garage 3 times
Also not ideal that of the 4 weekends in March i'm busy on 3 of them :thumbsdown: i will have to steal some roadtime where & when i can

 

[Beetlegav]

I'll take it out for you if your too busy mate

 

[Marlon]

All our favourite places there Andy, I see you found Thurnham Hall. Nice way to go out with the coupe

[srhutch]

You do seem to have some cracking roads up your way Andy.

 

[Tcochrane92]

What were the niggles she came with that you sorted out?

 

[mr wilks]

What were the niggles she came with that you sorted out?

MOT , a faulty parking sensor , shabby wheels , a scratch on rear valance & the inner part of the ashtray was missing :? not that its needed it but its annoying knowing it wasn't there

 

[Tcochrane92]

How do you lose the inner part of the ashtray?? Haha

How do you lose the inner part of the ashtray?? Haha

Easily! I'm not sure where mine is amongst my mountain of spare and swapped out parts. I took it out when I had an iPhone 4S as the space left behind made a perfect phone holder (with a bit of padding).

Enjoy the ///M ///MrW///
