Newb from Cambridge - Play Nice!

Why hello RCZ fans, my names Juliet, I'm 27 a total geek and I'm RuneScape's senior community manager (MMORPG). I'm currently living in Cambridge but originally from South Wales - I try to head home every other month.

So after spending around 3yrs trying to find a car that just jumped out to me I found myself picking up a Peugeot GT RCZ (It's an automatic so apologise in advance to anyone offended). I had never really seen these cars on the road and originally looked at TTs along with the Mini roadster, boy am I glad I didn't get either of those as I am totally in love with the RCZ - It's a real head turner and not something you see everywhere.
I work around the country from time at gaming events (Comic Con, Insominia and any other games event needed at). I've been too scared to try the manual as of yet but will get round to it, eventually!

I'v seen some lovely mods so far on these forums and will be looking to get a few done to mine to make it really stand out.

Here's a picture of the car, I'm calling the Night Fury. Currently completely standard but hopefully not for too long.
I'm a huge fan of the black exterior and the crisp white leather. It's a 2011 model and had just 12k miles on the clock - second car to previous owner.



I was quite active over on the Swift Owners Club previously and really loved the meetups and shows, I'm hoping that there's plenty you guys do too catching up with one another.

Here's the Swift I traded in (after 6 yrs). Full custom leather interior, body kit and limited spoiler. We parted with a striped roof but the car had a few makeovers along the way.



I hope at some point I'll be able to catch up with as many of you as possible, I plan on being active amongst the community you have here.

Welcome to the forum!! Your job sounds pretty awesome. There are a few gamers amongst us and one of the members, Aaliyah, is a games tester if I recall correctly.

There have been quite a lot of meets and I'm sure that there will be quite a few more before the bad weather sets in. Why not try and get one started yourself in the "meets and events" section?

Cracking name for the car and you mentioned your intent to mod it a little. As you say, there are some great examples of what you can do and I am sure that you'll have your own ideas too. Any hints as to what you're thinking of doing?

Anyway, welcome again and great to have you onboard. :thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome so far. Overall seems like a lovely group you have here.

On the weekend I just got my private plates transferred over to which made the car my own!

One other thing I wanted to ask. I have the silver bars on the car and notice these get cloudy/water marked very easily any tips on keeping these looking bright and shiny?

I used to work in QA as a lead after starting out a games tester not too long ago. It's a great job and it's what encouraged me to continue in the games industry.

I might take a look at starting up one of my own meets - you never know!

The name for the car came from my love of the film How to train a dragon. To start with I'd love to get a few little extras just to kick start the project really Calipers sprayed red along with starting to give the car a little personality maybe some carbon wing mirrors to match the grey I have.

I've loved the blue wrap from July and also seen a few yellow RCZs around which look rather impressive.

I thought I might have to explain the name at some point. Mrs Slayer is my gamer tag I generally use anywhere online. As mentioned above Night Fury is from the film so nothing too mean!

Welcome. Only down the road from me :D

I like the sound of your modification plans. There isnt a vast variety of aftermarket parts for the Z, but that hasnt stopped us modders making our cars unique ;)
