North Wales drive Sunday 7th May

Great day's driving with Tony, Ruth and Craig. I felt underpowered, under exhausted ( if you know what I mean) and fantastic noises from the Porsche and the Jag. :thumbsup:
Need a sports exhaust a remap and better tyres :cry:

Looking forward to some pics out on the roads , a great day for you with the weather but perhaps you have the proof if you needed it that a 89 will never have the pedigree of a ///M car :wink: you can tweak the turbos & change your rubber but hitting the twisties & better balance + handling should always compensate for less power :driving:

To be fair the Z4 wasn't too shabby but I think the Uniroyals began to wilt at extreme cornering speeds especially on two clear runs through the Nant Y Garth pass, one of the best bits of road I know. Craig was cheating as his F type was AWD :D

Was a great day,John , catching up with you and also Tony and Ruth.

That Porsche is rather nice,Mr.Guiseley :thumbsup:

As John said,his car faired well.
Just get some other tyres on the front at least.
Think my zed will be getting Michelin PSS as the assy 3s aren't too great on the front on my Roadster :driving:

Well how was the Jag?

Have you got a bit of a review of it? I had a wee shot of a v6s but not for a proper blast.

It's fantastic,mate.
Will tell you about it in person,rather than on here.

It drives really nice,and handles superbly,the four wheel drive is great and the car has few things to find fault with,it's that good to drive :driving:
See you soon :thumbsup:
