I couldn't be more pleased with the Uni's , all surfaces,all conditions & all speeds have been tested this week & the RS3s have proved faultless . Very grippy , very quiet & pinpoint steering into bends with no wavering or slippage whatsoever
they also plough through standing water without a quiver which living in Lancs is a must 
Would highly recommend them & will be buying again . . to the point that if someone wants my rear Michelin 255 35 19 tyres (7mm on both ) i would sell them & buy a pair of UniRs3s

Well there you go - all that engine power and the best Zed set up and they performed excellently - preferred sports tyres not required :lol: .
You're now a member of the Sk93 (Ian) school of hooning - he flew on the Skye trip last year on less than premium rubber (and miss matched if I remember as well) - very impressive.
A steady subdued drive down from LochLomond yesterday to Hexham in Northumberland feeling like the best was behind us 
via Kielder it was enjoyable but landscape had a hard act to match from previous days .
This mornings drive to the M6 however was a treat i wasnt expecting
Leaving Hexham it was literally minutes before open countryside heading to > Stanhope > Barnard Castle .
Around 35/40miles with just open roads & vast moorland with sheep being the only obstacle to navigate past it was a great ending to a great week .
Already planning the next trip

Nice one - those mobile chicanes are effective speed calmers :lol:
Where next?

So almost a year has passed & find myself back on the river Tay , , 275 easy miles covered today in the E89 & whilst down on bhp from my last 2 Zs (///M & 3.0Si ) it just swallows the road & time with ease .
The sport seats are as good as any car ive been in , adjustable bolster a nice touch for the longer periods behind the wheel
Also have to mention the range capabilities / MPG for a 6 cylinder petrol engine are as good as a A6 2.0TDi i had a while back .
Brimmed up this morning , roadwork speeds where i had to , 76/78mph the rest & after 275miles i still had a range of 140 miles
showing 38mpg on dash & if id coaxed it then i reckon over 40 would have been doable
