Hi Brightonbimmer,
You just pipped me for being the oldest git on the Forum, but nice to meet you all the same.
Been to your part of the world a few times, only Edmonton though for power stations around there.
My Z gets very little use these days, difficult for the other half to get in/out of unless the roof is down, but I still drive it and keep the old gal going after 125000 miles.. Regards, Mike

I have heard from Mike in Warwickshire, and am slightly senior to him. Now I would like to hear from the other member of our age group.

I think i may be having a crisis considering many of you on here are in your early 20's. What was I doing back then??? Oh Yeah, I was driving a Fiesta 1.1 Pop plus in my early 20's 
hmmm, i'm in the most 'popular' 42-46 group. only just though.
I reckon u could narrow the grouping down to 3 simple categories tho marlon:
1. Young enough to still be able to pull on a Friday night but with the caveat that most of my salary goes into paying insurance for the zed. It's my pride and joy and if that hot bird down the 'dog and duck' let's me take her out after months of pestering her for a date then when she sees the zed it wil seal the deal!
2. Still young enough to pull off driving a zed around although I know other road users, my neighbours and non-zed owners perceive me as a bit of a poser. However, I'm going to eek it out for at least another year because I love the sensation of topdown driving and secretly I know I'm a poser. The money I sink into the zed in upgrades, maintenance, repairs is still do-able for the time being.
3. Old enough to know better and I really should stop driving the zed now that I'm a grandparent and I've developed an unhealthy affinity to watching 'cash in the attic'. 'bargain hunt', 'homes under the hammer' while sucking on a werthers original and wondering if my pension payment went into the bank ok this month but I'm not quite yet ready to give up the zed because it makes me feel young.
:lol:
