I have to admit i was very pleased in the way our Zed handled itself as it was the first time i have driven it properly since last September
Thanks and congratulations to @Mac Romans and @Twin Turbo 
All your hard work paid off today boys,top job.
Also many thanks to @Mint and @Grumpy for coaching me through my first go at leading a group,apologies if we lost any one and I hope you all enjoyed the day.....i certainly did
.

First set of images - Somewhat out of sequence but taken on the extended first stage and then at the stop at Carsington.
Some more to come taken before the start a little later hopefully.
Mega thanks to @Mac Romans and @Twin Turbo for the detailed organisation and planning. All went swimmingly despite the expected and un-expected closed roads. Thanks too for @Bozzy for his lead on the slow (leisure drive) group and for the in-flight planning and the decision to split the group to make it more manageable so further thanks to @Mint for stepping up from mid-field anchor to lead.
Hopefully we'll welcome a new member who joined us for a few miles while we were negotiating the un-expected closed road.
Congratulations to @GazHyde for providing well targeted advice to another prospective member (diagnosing a loose battery connection as the cause of starting problems) - the Zed Shed on tour!
Despite the weather which started out cold but bright and sunny but which turned colder and damp, it was a great day.
Big surprise to see @BMBabe and @Mnbrennan turn up unexpectedly right at the end.
Well done to the prize winners in the mini concourse event (sorry one of the pics is blurred - can't get them all right), but it turned out bad for @Grumpy - not only did he not win, he and Jue ended up pulling out after a broken cooling fan was spotted. Sounds like it was fortunate that Dave entered. Could have been a major problem had it not been spotted. Hopefully major repairs averted. At least you got a prize for entering!

Just want to echo whats already been said - Many Many Thanks to Mac and Q for organising a great day. Thorough enjoyable, unbelievably fast, great roads, great people, great fun.... and the weather held off for most of it.
My sincere appreciation and thanks to @Mac Romans @Twin Turbo for organising the day to perfection. All that hard work you put in was definitely worth it, you both appear to be naturals. When is the next one
Wow, what a day. I've just walked through the door and I'm physically broken. Just under 400 miles since 6am this morning, but I wouldn't be able to walk if it wasn't in the Z4.
The thing that really stuck out to me today, was how many first timers/newbies we had turn up today. Yet again I didn't manage to speak to all the new people, but there were soooo many of you all. As ever a thoroughly nice bunch of people with a stunning bunch of Zeds
