This time our trip was 4500 miles (7200 km) and the 20 years old Zed has with us over 50 000 km. The mileage on the odometer shows 185000 km. I think the Zed got untill now, a lot of attention from its owners and as long you keep it on its "comfort zone", there's no problem! Probably the Zed gives back what he receives: TLC!
I wonder what is the reason that people will come from far away, Wales, England, Romania, to meet in the Central EU, in Netherlands? Probably the same reason that makes somebody to jump in the plane and fly to US, just for helping a friend to bring home its M! Or that a guy on the other side of the pond take the airplane just to participate to a week end meeting in UK?! That's shows we are group people and we need to prove that we can follow our dream. Some times with sacrifices , but the reward at the end is priceless! Was that worth it?
Definitely YES! these moments are the only thing we take with us.
Was such a great pleasure to shake hands and put faces to nicknames or names, to share the road together in the Limborit, Eiffel or Alps! I was a little bit unlucky because our accommodation during Limborit was in Noorbeek and not in the same hotel in Slenaken; maybe we could talk more in the evening...but it's OK , we have the forum for that! Probably I should first present my thanks
@GazHyde for establishing this great forum, with special people: so , Thank You Gary!
Nine years ago , being so in love with BMW 328 (a too rare car) , I was looking for a similar one. I found a Sbarro 328 ( made of fiber glass based on BMW 5series, in the '80s). It was still too expensive for my budget... Which was good because I never ever could have the great company that I got in the Zed's world! If BMW chose their logo: "the pleasure to drive", probably the Zed's logo will be now " bringing people together "! And I have the feeling is just the beginning: I see more common events in the future with the UK, Italian, German, Austrian, Dutch owners!
