If you go any lower you’ll bottom out driving over a dog

Why?
I've just fitted new wheels for show Season

I was heading up to Cheshire for a long weekend last Thursday afternoon, and before I got to the M40/M42 junction the gantries were telling me the M6 was closed from J18 to J19 - and I was heading for J20.

Got onto the M42 then the M5 and was ready to stop at Frankley Services - must be one of the best views from motorway services!

Anyway I got a map out and decided to try M54 to J4 then A41 to Whictchurch and A49 up towards Northwich. A great route but by the time I got off the M54 it was after 4 pm so getting busy, but it probably still worked better than starting queueing on the M6 from J16 - if not before!

Anyway tonight I left Cheshire around 7 pm and decided to come home using the same route, and I'm so glad I did!

The A49 and A41 were great - very quiet, some twists and some straights with good sightlines. So I was able to drive my Z4 the way it was meant to be driven!

It made me think I live in the wrong part of the world.

But I didn't have so much fun once I joined the M54 or on the M6, M5 or M42 but the M40 usually flows well (so to speak) and then there was the A404 from the M40 down to the M4.

Now I just need to clean all the splattered bugs off the car.

It's been a long time since I did the journey door to door in under 3 and a half hours!

Yes, it's great - just a shame it's over 150 miles from where I live!

Took her to work today. Always gets a smile from the gate security.

New guard on duty also has a Zed, but apparently his roof motor has packed up.

I know its against the grain, but brought the coupe in today. Wifey has the roadster. Also gave the coupe a quick detail with waterless wash and wax before. It's fab stuff on a relatively clean car.

That looks great

Done nothing to the Zed today. But I did panic text MrsG this morning to check I hadn't left the lights on, after I some how re read a text from the tracker, telling me the voltage was low on the battery.

I then notice the text was dated in MARCH.

Too late.
