Write Up The New Forest run 15th April 2018

[Tom Martin]

At 23 knotts (constant) it would take 16 days, 7 hours and 12 minutes. Things you'd need:

Bilge pump
Propeller
Dry suit
Sanity check

After therapy and drying out your Zed you should be ready for the Peaks Cruise

Thanks Andy; have ordered your suggested equipment for the venture and lots of chips to go with the fish !

So did I, especially with that monster bump on the way out.

The e89 in our group flew through it

If I told you all about that ford... where’s all the fun and spirt of adventure

Now that lovely Estoril Blue zed.. well what can I say.. one of the best colours going on a zed 3 ..

Thanks to Paul and those involved in the organisation of the run. Nice to meet s lot of new people and see some very neat zeds 3&4s.
Shame about the rain . Sorry for cutting loose at the pub, had issues with my brake lights, interesting drive back home, braking, flicking the rear fogs on (red light at least) and remembering to switch them off once we had stopped. All part of the day I suppose

Lovely car, great colour

Great pictures Rob, love Andy's Shoe rolling photo

Yes, @5harp3y, that was mine. I was lucky enough to buy it with the wheels on it. It's running Bilstein shocks all round with Eibach springs on the rear and Apex on the front (not changed them to Eibachs yet). It was running Apex all round but it was too low.

What headlamp bulbs have you got as they are a nice shade of blue?

I did wonder what they were doing until they revved and just went. I wasn't that brave

Back home now after a great weekend staying at Bazza Towers. I'll add my thanks to Paul (@pgunter) for a well organised event, and all the leaders, it all seemed to go well. A few more general photos to add to the thread:

Nice cardigan Niall, @Nodzed

 

[Bazza]

Well done Paul a great event, pity about the weather the 2nd half but still very enjoyable.
