Hi Tessa - nice car!

I actually used to date a girl named Tessa. I came in this thread just to see if it was you. You're not that Tessa.

I hope this post didn't creep you out. The rest of the Mafia is not nearly as creepy as I am.

I remember the first time I heard a girl signed up for internet. :drool

[Ryans323i]

These guys crack me up! They're really not that creepy. :)

Welcome to the family. Fantastic car!

[llll1l1ll]

Hahah I didn't think my silliness would go this far!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

That's OK. Let's not scare, Tessa, though. :biggrin

[tripod06]

Welcome Tessa, it was great meeting you. We will be in contact about the Carbon Fiber Roof and Tint thing as I am very interested in getting that done.

[Ryans323i]

^^^
From what he said,

I just re-examined the pic Casey posted and you do have a CF roof. Even more :drool. Way to go girlie!

[Hornung418]

Wait...she has a Carbon roof?! Where the heck is, Dean!!! I need new glass and a Carbon Fiber roof!

[danewilson77]

Tessa, Really great meeting you yesterday. I had heard about your car from Vince awhile back.

Your car looked great with the mods you added. Loved the exhaust and intake. I will be heading to SD tint soon. Next time I will have Sarah go and bring her ZHP so you will not be the only girl with a zhp at the event.

[M3TA5IN]

Girls get so much more attention lol, we men are so simple.

[danewilson77]

Tessa?

I think it was a CF wrap on the roof cause it didn't have the resin shine but it still looked good

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It was a wrap.

Alpine White... for the win... all day long.

[johnrando]

Welcome to the family Tessa. Sweet car! Sorry I missed you at the Tech Day, wanted to go but it didn't work out.

[onepercent]

I have family in Vista. Welcome!

[jreyes19]

welcome car looks great
love Alpine white

[RVAzhp]

so, i guess what dinan parts are on it?

and welcome, i love white ZHPs

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I think we've lost Tessa. I'll have to find her.

[danewilson77]

Tessa?

[Hermes]

She had the Dinan badge, which if i remember correctly requires a certain number of "points" before you can get it. They redid the site since I was last there (maybe 2 years ago) so I don't know anymore. Here's the link for their ZHP parts

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I find it fascinating that Dinan has identified ZHP like that. It's listed with coupe, sedan, convertible, and XI. It's as though Dinan thinks ZHP is special or something. I'd love to know what they were thinking!

[Hermes]

I vaguely remember on the old site that there was a 'pick my car' function and ZHP was a choice. They must have just had so many questions from people saying "but my car isn't a 330, it's a ZHP" thinking our cars are special or something... Prob just got tired of answering them and put a few extra letters on the page

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Makes sense.

[imola red zhp]

"not special" I wish I had one of those....

[kpro]

Hi Tessa :)

anybody find her yet?

[SC4ME]

Welcome Tessa! I work in Vista (but just bought a house in Poway). Nice to have another Mafia member down here (Marcus, the founder of this site is also a local).

If you ever need anything, just yell. Lots of people on here are very helpful, with both know-how and time. Best site I know.

The interwebz is a big place. One could get lost.

[whiteZHP]

Wow! I gotta say I was laughing my a** off when I read all of these. I'm sorry, I've been so busy since I joined & since the ZHP tech session that I had no idea all of this was going on without me!! I will stay more up to date now. I have not gone away already!!!! I think you guys are hilarious!!!!! I will try to answer any & all questions as soon as I read them individually again & remember what they all are =)

[Hermes]

We found Tessa! Welcome back

[johnrando]

Welcome back Tessa! :thumbup

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Tessa, glad to have you back. We were going to send the posse to find you.

[danewilson77]

Whew! That we were gonna have to spring the posse.

True, certain Dinan pieces earn a certain amount of points and when you've earned (shelled out for) a certain point level (6 pts?) you get the badge. Or, you can save yourself thousands and just go to Ebay! lol

Dinan makes/made some good pieces, but they charge(d) a premium and with some you were simply paying for the Dinan name because they sell (sold?) repackaged items like Hawk brake pads, Koni shocks, Brembo rotors/calipers/pads, etc.

Happy enough with most pieces on the ZHP, I thought about checking out Dinan wheels but damn, they wanted like $6k-$7k for the set(s) I liked. All of a sudden BBS's looked like blue light specials at Walmart. lol
