Red Zed at the Humber Bridge

[Z3Parker]

A friend of mine recently bought herself a Fiesta ST because she wanted something a bit quicker so I obviously had to take the zed to see it and go for a drive round the east yorkshire countryside. Unfortunately, on the roads the 1.9 L Z3 was no match for the ST's more modern and turbocharged 1.6 L engine power or acceleration-wise. However, when we stopped for a quick photoshoot I think you'll agree the red zed steals the show The bridge makes for quite a nice background too!

Nice photo old school can never live with modern day technology no matter how fast you think your car is or you drive it. . Each new model that comes out is just more capable in every way.
For me .20 year old classic is not about performance it's enjoying it. You can still have a big smile at much lower speeds. older cars need more driver inter action.
If I want a real blast I jump into something more modern.
Nice to see you out enjoying your Zed.

Completely agree with you Tracy! I would rather be going slightly slower with the roof down and feeling connected to the drive than flying along in a modern car being driven by electrics

Great pic and 2 great motors. Little if anything in its class will outgun the ST round the twisty stuff and B roads. Can't get its roof down though and when all said and done it's a small family car, great as it is. Yours is greaterer though

Now - we need a photo of just your car there with the bridge behind it! Would be a great candidate for the calendar.

Next time I'm up there I'll make sure to get one with just the zed!

Pity you didn't ask that lot behind you to shift while you took the photo Paul !

They were all at a speed awareness course.
