So here are some things you lot may not know or have realised, and this picture is perfect to explain what I'm about to type!

The "s" in the ZRoadster.org logo was stylised to be "the road ahead", an enticing twisty piece of road in front of your Zed. There were several variations considered, one being a black "s" with white centre lines on it.

Also, the red used for the "s" was the closest shade we could get to Imola Red (which is one of my favorite Zed colours of all time along with Dakar, but that wouldn't have worked so well for the logo).

So this picture perfectly encapsulates the ethos of our logo. Awesome!

One of the original designs options we had actually had little white dashes running down central in the S which made it look more like a road but we decided it looked better just plain red. ;)

My poor little car. It must be in shock. I think we finished the trip just in time as the weather was just perfect. Now.............back to normal........

That goes for all of us to a lesser degree Hugh, and all possible with thank to the founding Fathers who started this forum, much like your trip across the states too. Bless the Mayflower.

Are you suggesting that Gazza is really Pocahontas, Tony:D

Na, just some old geezer from Boston, or where ever. People who had gotten tired of being ill treated in one place and decided to make a fresh start on their own elsewhere.. And here we are!:)

That was awesome Frankie. I've actually heard of Geno's steak house in Philly, I remembered seeing on a TV series they show over here called Man vs Food. Sadly they won't let us watch the YouTube videos about it over here. But I did find this one comparing Pats and Genos.
