Most driving I have done in a weekend!

Yeah Ive been looking a 220GSI Turbos cant help myself lol

Blimmy - I've just taken my Zed to Spain for a week and didn't even clock up 500miles!
(we did 60 miles to take the Portsmouth-Bilbao ferry and stayed in Bilbao)

The ZS is quite slow off the line but once it starts rolling it picks up quickly.

The other factor is that the Ford and GM v6 makes more power but it is pulling more weight, add lightness for more speed according to Colin Chapman

Mondane ST220 http://www.carfolio.com/specificatio...car/?car=96690

Opel Vectra http://www.carfolio.com/specificatio...car/?car=97845

VW Corrado VR6 http://www.carfolio.com/specificatio...car/?car=17545

Both the ST220 and the GSI have bigger engines producing a little more power but are heavier, slower and more poluting.

The VW however has a little more power and is a few kilos lighter.

I had to use the Opel as the Vauxhall only showed Stafford Micks first love

My friends and i love mountain biking so we try and head up to Fort William at least once a year and stay in a camp site over the weekend. And i dont mean to sound sad but half the fun for me is filling my tank (about £70) and just opening the car up on all the big sweeping corrners and huge straights. Dont get a chance to do it to often now (kids) but when i finally get the car to myself i take full advantage, and love every minute of it.

The Zeds are best on windy roads. Before my ex moved, she used to live in a small village just past Alton Towers. The last 30 miles once you came off the A500 and had to go over the peak district mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, great roads........Still nothing can touch it round the bends.

Had a scary a hell incident with a 2003 TF when i first past my test at 17. Worked for Arnold Clark and was driving the TF round a long corner and never noticed a big puddle in the middle of it. As soon as i hit the puddle the back stepped out on me and being 17 with no experience i paniced, spun, hit a wall which through me into a metal railing which i spun through 5 times. When i finaly came to a stand still the car was in pieces. That was the longest walk ever back to the dealership to tell my boss i had wrecked the car.

Ever since then ive never had much condidence in the twisties and i condem and would burn every rear wheel drive car on the road. Ive decided ill stick to open straight roads

Would love to learn how to do all that siddy ways stuff but just dont have the confidence after what happened.
