Day out to the coast
- Thread starter Dickymint
- Start date
We had a blast up the Atlantic Highway from Indian Queens to Barnstaple yesterday afternoon but left the Zed in the garage. Had my Merc MOT'd and got it back yesterday morning. It failed on emissions but went through after a bit of tinkering. They recommended I give it a good run as it looks like my valve stem seals may be hardening due to age and little use.
This is a great road, plenty of twisties but there's always the chance you'll get stuck behind a tractor, a caravan or a livestock truck

cheers guys, was a great driving day i.e very little breeze and hot but not to hot and I was surprised how easy going the roads were only thing like I said there was no Z3's to wave at though it was nice when some guy in a oldie convertible waved at me.
and yes I do need another tarten blanket as the one I have is in the Alfa.... yes 43 and already a old fart

Nice car Jack. Worked for Mercedes some years back, loved the heritage of it all. If I could afford it I'd have an old merc as well as the Zed. Maybe one day.
Cheers mate, I'd say that I hoped the food would get worse,....... But it couldn't .58 Tony is that all! I'd have put you older than that!

this is my first German car and TBH its the first and only one I ever fancied, so far its ok just a few little problems need sorting nothing to major and plenty more years left to get them sorted
Nice! Never know when I get out of colditz Jue might feel sorry for me and treat me to one. I'd love a 1960''s SL280. One day maybe......This was one of mine.
Your not wrong there old lad lol! Mediterranean salmon with rice tonight. Sounds lovely but no doubt it'll be complete sh***!Cheers mate, I'd say that I hoped the food would get worse,....... But it couldn't .

My Zed is my first BMW. I can honestly say I was a BMW hater until Jue spotted these when we were looking for a 2 seater conv. I'd certainly have more in the future, completely turned my head to what a cracking brand they are.this is my first German car and TBH its the first and only one I ever fancied, so far its ok just a few little problems need sorting nothing to major and plenty more years left to get them sorted
