"Where Are All The RCZ's"
Swansea by the looks of things :roll:
When we first had ours from new I can pretty much say it was one of the first or even the first to be seen on the roads of Swansea, maybe Gorwell, who lives not for away was another owner who was there at around the same time.
When out driving along people would stop, stare, wave and point, you could read their lips as they would be saying "wow look at that", "what is it", both my wife and myself used to find it all a bit embarrassing, yet very proud to be driving such a stunning car.
I clearly remember one time when we pulled into a very very busy Tesco car park on our way back from Cardiff, locked the car up and walked into the store where we were stopped by a very excited gentleman who asked what car we had just pulled up in, he had seen us drive into the car park and waited for us inside the store to find out about the car, he was amazed when I said it was a Peugeot and had been on the roads for a month or two.
Incidents like this happened often in the early days.
Now though 3 years on, it seems as though Z's are everywhere, especially around the Swansea area.
A 5 minute drive will almost certainly have you seeing at least 2 or 3 on the roads, I know for another 2 sitting on drives within walking distance of my house, and another 2 again parked up outside houses not too far away .
The first year after production they were a bit of a rare sight on our roads, but the last 2 years seems to have been a breeding ground for Z's in Swansea and surrounding areas.
The days of the "stop & stare" have long gone, and I think perhaps it's only other Z owners who give the Z a long admiring second glance these days.
Strange thing is though, if you are looking for a used private one in this area to buy, they can be hard to find, and even in local garages or somewhere like Autotrader, you will only find the odd one or two popping up on the forecourt.
