Old A120 - and a cool drive home

Post by RobBruce »

On way to work yesterday - a dark blue T reg Z3 near Bishops Stortford on the A120, heading towards Birchanger services.

And he even waved back!!! :cheers (Did have hood up though :nono )

Anyone on here?

The first time I've had the Z out in ages too. And leaving work at 2am last night, the car temp showed 18 degrees! Lovely clear night - so down came the top :)

Got a couple of odd looks, but who cares! Bloody great it was too :D

do you actually like driving at all or are cars to you just a manifestation of some sort of pathological mother complex ?

On the Essex Run we passed a Dark Blue T reg Zed with roof up, driven by a female who was frantically waving and she had the biggest smile :D

YEAH!! It was me!! You were driving the green Z right? I'd literally just bought the car from a guy in Bishop's Stortford and was driving it home to Berks. He used to post on here under the name Roadster1 I think?

I was so chuffed that the first Z3 I met waved to me - it was the icing on the cake...the cake being me unleashing the 2.8 beast on the M11 and revelling in that beautiful exhaust note.

I didn't have the hood down because I hadn't even figured out how it worked and I was completely flustered by trying to set all the internal controls - haha!

I owned my Puma for nearly 2 years and none of the miserable people I've passed have ever waved at me so thanks for making my day even better! :lol:

COOL! 8-)

Welcome mate - how good was that? A wave just after buying the car! :D

Enjoy the wonderful world of Z ownership - and try to get yourself on a cruise soon!

Cheers Rob, I was looking at the threads for the previous few Herts cruises and it's not like it's massively far from Reading - will have a think about the HQ one - it'd be an interesting day out! :)
