Well as ive decided to keep the Z for awhile i thought id have some fun with it as thats 1 of the reasons why i braught it.

So i took it to a car club event over here today to throw it round some cones.

Alot of people liked the Z & it got alot of admiring looks. :mbounce:

It rained and rained and rained. some of my runs i got in the dry.

I didnt realise just how long the Z is, it seems like a coach when it comes to throwing it round a cone hairpin, took full lock to get it round lol!

Ive added afew vids for you to look at, yes it looks slow and thats coz it is lol!! that section was alot tighter than it looks. plus im going on holiday in the car in 2weeks and didnt want to park it in any of the brick heaps.

managed 6 runs 4 off which i got time penaltys on for hitting the cones! im blaiming the rally mudflaps for that lol.

Will find out what position i came in in afew days with hopefully afew photos .

Think you would wont an F/TF or a ZR to go up the list. I have trouble getting the ZS round the multi story car parks. :laugh::laugh:

Dont go underneath, its held up with acrow props, spalling concrete coming down, so there are nets around all the beams.

Couple of Christmas's ago they closed the car parks, one of the security guys went to Tesco, down the road and was saying that every day they were having people reporting damage to their cars. Tennis ball size concrete was dropping onto bonnets, roof etc.

I never park underneath.

:):):)

Never seen an autotest run round a builders yard! Not my idea of safe motorsport events. The ZS is not ideal for such an event, too long too heavy and a turning circle of an oil tanker! but looked like you had fun.

we have limited places we can use over here, no one messed about as we where told to behave, was safer than it looks. was really good fun though lol
