Had the ZM for a month, time for a proper drive
After a few weeks with ZMR, thought it was time to take it somewhere warmer and twistier for a few days
Headed from Shropshire to eurotunnel.... and pretty much went south...(ish) for a couple thousand miles of open roads, twisties , beer and good food with my eldest daughter and a good friend with whom I've done a few of these type of trips...
Through France, into Andorra, and across the Pyrenees back to Bilbao via just about every twisty road we could fit in... 5/6 hours in the seat every day, but it was a blast... a beer at the end of the day was enough to send us snoozing pretty quickly.
Weather in the while was fantastic, 26-28 most days, but the southbound run through france toll roads was a little damp.. at least the mountains were dry.
Almost no other sports cars, sports bikes or cyclists... was eerily quiet and most days we had the hills to ourselves...
M performed faultlessly, and was absolutely fantastic fun around the Twisties, very comfy, and the boot was just about big enough for 2 with camping gear for a week...
Just some iPhone pics, but you get the idea...

Fantastic fun
Last year was an alps trip and most of the classic passes in a 600hp tvr
Couple years back was Austria, Italy, Switzerland etc...in a cobra replica i built..
This trip was more chilled, but probably had more fun, ZM is soooo. easy to use.
