Write Up Post Rolling road day cruise

[Paul Rice]

Good end to a very enjoyable day 6 of us ventured into the Derbyshire dales. The weather stayed dry for us but tops stayed firmly in place.
I was first to go wrong followed by Dom then Pingu. Good to share the embarrassment. Doesn't bode well for my group leading duties for the Shropshire and Peaks cruises?

Nice little group outing after the rolling road.
We had the roof down after the tea stop, as did @le frog .

This was the Tissington ford on the way home, as it was almost 1 metre deep, we decided against going through it .

A few pics of the cruise.....

Huh!, I thought Frogs were Amphibians Steve.

Some great photos.

Would have loved to have tagged along but just to much to do at home at the moment. Pleased you had a good run out.

Me too Dave, would much preferred to be there instead of testing some sheds at work.. Although I did make good use of my afternoon at home.

A real shame you couldn't be there today mate, you'd have enjoyed it.

Well that's the Derbyshire poo washed off.

Plus the covers off the Z3 so time to prep for sale (Must stop looking at it) Its going to be a wrench to let it go after 5 great years.

 

[Grumps]

It's a good car, anyone wanting a decent 1.9 is going to rip your arm off mate.

Great afternoon out with fellow Zedders. Bit of a mystery tour thrown in as well, but we found a good tea room to finish in.
Cheers Paul for organising

Kind of you all to leave your tops up as we couldn't take our off

I was going to say wuss, but I don't think I would have attempted it......even in the 4x4

I've not washed mine since last summer - and I'm not going to start now.

Don't use it - Abuse it

The picture doesn't do it justice. I need to work on the finer details harder...

Do you do the car often though ....

 

[Pingu]

It gets a good polish at least once a year. Usually on my birthday.

1m deep isn’t something you’d do even in a 4x4 unless it’s equipped with a snorkel.
The new Disco quotes only 900mm with the suspension set to super extended mode (raised by something like 150mm/6”). Your at risk of floating the car in many cars well below that.
In the Zed you would need a snorkel too

And an outboard motor

Washed Bob this morning, saw what you mean by washing off the Derbyshire poop, the wheel arches were covered in it .
Your 2 zeds are certainly looking well Paul, meant to say yesterday your wheels look really nice .
