Mr Wilks inspired blast out... 3 counties.

[Z4M-2006]

With Andy doing a great road trip yesterday,i thought i would pop into the local town for petrol and ended up doing 3 counties instead....lol..

Derbyshire,Cheshire and Yorkshire.


Just a couple of pics....

Dovestones reservoir





Heading out away from Indians head



Met my own pack on the road in Holme village...



Holme Moss...





Crowden...





Lane to home.....










Was a good ride out and stretched the Z's legs.... These cars really are a weapon, big numbers come up very quickly.

Its now fly and bug encrusted so time for a clean and a few beers....

These blasts are addictive aren't they - nice pics, looks like a great impromptu drive

 

[Darren Slone]

Looks like you've had a cracking day Gary !

 

[Taz]

[Z4M-2006]

I passed your house Pete...

I thought If you was out and about I would say hi.... Cars looked tucked away..

 

[buzyg]

Cheers Mr Wilks

Not been out for a couple of days. Needed a reminder of what fun lies out there in the green valleys of Britain. Zed's coming out tomorrow for sure.

how about a similar blast tomorrow?

I won't lie , it's your E89 that dangles in front of me like a carrot
It looks ace & i know the performance numbers must be like fast forward when behind the wheel
Just now though i enjoy the rawness & feel of the ZMR & thinking back to when i owned & sold my 964 for the newer 996 i don't want to make the same mistake again with E85 to E89
Wheels look sooooooooooo right on it

 

[Taz]

perhaps then Mr Wilks you should just keep yours and keep your eye out for a 3.5iS

Very nice pictures. Love those wheels!

Also took mine for a little blast tonight back from the cinema. Roof down, 30c with clear skies at night - perfect. Lots of popping and overrun bouncing off the walls and buildings... love this car

 

[AlienZed]

Cheers Maurice.

To be fair the 996 just happened to be the worst of all 911s but that doesn't mean it was a bad car :?
it was such a change from aircooled 964 & almost instantly i missed the noise & smell & simplicity of what was a fairly rudimentary car to a modern water cooled supercar :wink:

same with the Z4 in a way , the E89 will never have the DNA of a normally aspirated ZM car :wink:

 

[Z4M-2006]

I got beat to it...

Please don't compare my E89 to a 99shits..


It's everything the 911 isn't.... Lol...

On a serious note, have a go of it and see if there the kinda thing you like?
I got it at some serious angles today... Did feel a bit heavy and numb, but at very high speeds..

Below 80mph it felt very nippy and precise... I haven't had a prolonged blast at high speed in it and it's impressed me 10 fold... I knew it was good, but it really is a decent thing...

[mr wilks]

Another look at the pics & no schmoooze :roll: those alloys are by far the best look for E89s , they do look awesome & this pic will sell the car ive no doubt

 

[Bing]

That's a gorgeous motor :wub:
