Looking forward to this, not sure how the weather is going to be, but this morning on the BBC weather it is showing a half decent day (Fingers Crossed)

For anyone that has not done the Evo Triangle Before your in for a treat, in my opinion this is the best driving road in the UK, but will leave it to you too decide.
See here for details:http://www.greatestdrivingroads.com/great_roads/The_Evo_Triangle.html

I done a lap of the Evo last Sunday but was hindered by a tailing police car (luckily as it turned out) as I came around a coner I was met with a motorbike hurtling toward me on its side with sparks flying of it, and a rider tumbling down the road, the bike narrowly missed the front of my car (one second earlier and it would have hit me) the rider came to a stop and gave me the thumbs up, indicating he was OK, that got rid of the police officer:) So took the old girl up to 60 and had a great run with nothing in my way, you dont have to go like a loon to enjoy this road, as the bends and turns will give plenty of pleasure keeping it within the speed limit.

Please drive to your own abilities and dont be pressurised into overdoing it (dont want any accidents) If someone wishes to overtake you please endeavour to let them when safe to do so..

I will be handing out maps and stopping places on the run, this will have my mobile number on it any problems during the run give me a call.

No lunch breaks planned (Packed Lunch Advised), but if you need to stop at anytime for anything let me know, we have ample time to complete the run out.

Looking for someone to take the backdoor on the run any volenteers?.

Not am not sure how many will turn up on Sunday! Looking to leave by 10:00am so please arrive in plenty of time and with a full fuel tank.. see you then.

Guy's and Gal's and especially TaffZee. I am afraid I woke up yesterday with a raging cold and it has develped into "manflu"
all my joint's and muscles ache :dead: so I am afraid that much to my disappointment I won't make it :( . I am gutted as I was really looking forward to it as I had so much fun last year on two of TaffZee's Cruises and it would have been great to catch up with people again.

Jim,

I removed the sills and wings earlier this week to start sorting the rust, but the weather has been wet the last few days and not given me chance to refit them :(

Not going to be able to make it tomorrow now...

Use the Z4;)
Not mine anymore! My mate has bought it off me, and no real surprise as he likes it way more than I ever did.

I am officially a one Zed owner again. It's why I'm putting the effort in to getting the Z3 tarted up. Hope the weather holds off, because I don't want to turn up to Zed Fest with a patchwork quilt of coloured panels :(

At least I won't be the worst car there if that is the case. Lol

Great Roads, Great Company, Lousy Weather, Thanks to everyone for turning up, wish I could have ordered the sunshine. But at least we had a clear dry (ish) lap and a half around the Evo...

Still enjoyed it though...:drinks:
