Average age of Zed ownership
- Thread starter KernowZed

My late wife had two Micras in succession and commuted along the M8 at rush hour until one day I had to go to Glasgow around the same time and experienced what she drove through on a daily basis. I very soon persuaded her to get something more substantial that would be less easy to bully.
Mind you, the Micra was a wonderful car, a wheel at each corner, a simple one litre engine and nothing to go wrong. However it had no road presence and all the crash protection of a corn flakes packet.
Anyway, what's all this ageist stuff on here? Saga kicks in at fifty but at almost sixty five (get me pension in July, he he) I am not old. You young guys in your fifties should be glad of your youth. I suppose I could spend the old age pension on a new Z. What would Mr Osborne think of that, I wonder?

With Admiral, 5years NC. I've been with them from day 1. Had around 16 cars most with mods, they always come up best and i seem to haggle them down even though thier the cheapest anyway. Had 3 points to put on last time i insured so they put it up £680 then i said can't you do it any cheaper which she replied 'I'm sure we can sort something out for you' so they knocked it down to £605. If you don't ask you don't get. I still get annoyed with my parents who just go with the renewal price instead of shopping around and saving a few hundred!!
