Which car to take??
Now I don't tend to drive too much these days as I use the bike for work, but I am off to a mate's house in Kiddeminster for a Rugby Party (watch the 6 Nations) this weekend and am driving over.
I am inclined to take the Z4C, but it really is 300 miles of motorway.
Or I could take the GF's 2003 Civic with 120k on the clock.
The Z4C - more comfortable, decent radio, more power, less economy, but will add miles to it.
The Civic - Don't care about it, slightly dodgy stereo.
There is always the chance I won't be driving back on Sunday, but the GF can drive the Z4.
So what do I do tonight?
I'm leaving around 22:00 so expect a clear run up the M40.
Come on Forum, help me decide.

You shouldn't really be asking this question. You know in your heart the right answer.

All depends on the parking, considering all the damaged Z's we have seen lately, I would be weary of leaving my Z parked on the roadside or public carpark overnight now.

Spot on Mr firebobby, I'd want to know if the parking is relatively secure.All depends on the parking, considering all the damaged Z's we have seen lately, I would be weary of leaving my Z parked on the roadside or public carpark overnight now.

Private driveway at my friend's house. Looks like it could be a Z day...firebobby wrote:All depends on the parking, considering all the damaged Z's we have seen lately, I would be weary of leaving my Z parked on the roadside or public carpark overnight now.

If you've got proper parking then you'd have to question why you have the zed if you didn't take it out on a nice long drive.

Take the civic , you'll need more than a few drinks by the time you get there and your head will be so done in by boredom you'll be well up for a fight

Z4C. Leave early on Sunday and take the long way home avoiding all motorways.
