Zero Zed in Northern Portoogal

Post by Marcoose » Sun Dec 10, 2023 6:39 pm

Wifey and I have been holidaying in northern Portugal for a week now. East of Porto, along the Douro River. Beautiful corner of the world. Brilliant roads, both motorways and country roads. Definitely a petrol head heaven, whether on car and motorbike. Many smart BMWs, Mercs, Audis. But zero Zed of any vintage to be seen. Weird.

We were thinking that if we retire to Portugal (like so many Americans have), we'd most definitely explore how to bring our Zed along. Chances are it'd be known as 'the' Zed.

For those that visited Portugal recently, have you spotted a Zed ?

Adeus.

Went to Portugal a few years back as it’s right next door to us and no didn’t see any Zeds! Even here on the Costa Del Sol Zeds are a rare breed! You might see one every now and then but overall they are pretty rare.

I don’t think launch events count. Though thanks to the great roads and great weather we have many car manufacturers have their launch events here. The new X1 had its launch event just around the corner from my place.
