I hope we’re as lucky in May!
It was a perfect driving day, great weather and lack of other cars
Excuse the non Zed piccy.

Nothing should slow you down - even on the roads with passing places, you could probably pass between a parked Z4 and an oncoming motorhome
Although my New Year Resolution is to not go 'off road' to avoid oncoming motorhomes this year - it cost me almost £2k in repairs last time.

No that is what I replaced the M Coupe with after the accident along with a wee daily for going back and forth to work in.
My Zed isn’t doing any touring this year

Great fun. Everything is basic with no frills. Steering is like a go cart, brakes require a plentiful shove, everything feels so alive and with your being so low down the sensation of speed is great even you are not going fast.
I would recommend having a go. I think touring is going to be more tiring than in the Zed but the 25l tank doesn’t last that long anyway so you get a breaks!

I used to hire a 140/150bhp Caterham Roadsport/R300 when I got fed up with (or couldn't afford to run) the e34 M5.
Even the 'small' power Caterhams would absolutely boss everything on most track - and only lose out on anything with a decent straight (Silverstone particularly) - when the lack of aerodynamics would kick in.
I think my favourite was the CSR260 - although the R500 EVO was an absolute mentalist - as I couldn't really justify the huge increase in rental costs for the R500 over the R300 or CSR.

Mine has the ST170 engine so if I haven’t lost any (likely) comparable to the 300. Good hobby car as well as always something to do!mmm-five wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 5:59 pm I used to hire a 140/150bhp Caterham Roadsport/R300 when I got fed up with (or couldn't afford to run) the e34 M5.
