A few scenic photos of the ZS
Read about a scenic road about 50 miles away from me, so went to check it out today - took some pics!
Only 3 made the cut in the end; I should have taken more but my time was limited.
Also while I had my camera out this car drove past me, not sure what it was so maybe someone here will know!

Its a GTM Libra. The engine from my project ZS180 ended up in one of these. However, the one in your photo is a 1.8.

Ah, never heard of GTM! Just checked out the specs on their website - pretty damn impressive car! 135PS from the 1.8, and 0-60 in 5.8! Wow! For such a small amount of power, thats pretty damn quick. Sounded nice as it drove past too.

I drove the one that we put my KV6 into. Now that did accelerate quite fast! Have to say that I was not impressed with either the brakes (guess I'm too used to servo assistance now) or the steering. There seemed to be a problem with the steering geometry with the car that I drove. If you turned the steering wheel past a certain point the steering turned of its own accord and you had to wrestle the wheel back towards the centre.

Its the B4574, near Cwmystwyth in mid Wales. I didnt travel the whole road, but apparently its quoted by the AA to be one of the Top 10 most scenic drives in the world! Not sure about that, but the spot in the photos was certainly very nice. If I hadnt needed to get back for work, I would have explored the area more.
I should have cleaned the car before going, but thought by the time I got there it would just be mucky again so didnt bother. Just remembered I havent put the site stickers on yet either! Doh! Theyre in my glovebox atm... next lot of photos they should be on there
