lilwashu Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm in france at the moment having almost completed a bit of a road trip over the past couple of weeks and can confirm that the fuel price listed above (by the AA I think) is much higher than it actually is - I have paid a maximum of 1.53 euro for super unleaded but I use supermarkets. I have seen i up to 1.72 on the autoroute so make sure you fill up before you get on one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppz Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'll be leaving on tuesday on the R6 down to Santander then who knows....I'll keep an eye out for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackpig Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ive done a 3500 mile euro trip. 5000 miles is going to be a good acheivement! My top tip is: dont get too boozed up on the evenings as you have a long day ahead of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedMeister Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 So, half way through lads. In my hotel in Monte Carlo, night in for a big drive tomorrow hence the browsing / masterbation. Two Zeds spotted thus far, 2nd July straight off the EuroTunnel and met a Asian chap with a clone of my Blade Silver (with a few mods Carbon fiber bonnet, skirts) & a red 370 on the way to the Swiss Alps who gave me a flash and a wave. The looks the Z gets abroad are amazing, one guy in Italy yesterday told me "you just don't see car's like this here". She is eating up the miles and running like the beast she is, 2500 miles done and loads of pictures to show you guys when I return to the UK.

CMR Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hows the glanza holding up, would never of taken mine that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedMeister Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hows the glanza holding up, would never of taken mine that far The Glanza is totally fine apart from a small boost leak ( nothing a bit of duck tape won't fix), no ordinary Glanza though, Glanza V as fast as my Zed tbf.

ZedMeister Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 So, just got back after a drive from Paris last night (to Stirling in Scotland) wow.. I'll post a good number of pics up later today hopefully then more of the HD one's when I get them off my mates camera in the next couple of days. Big difference yesterday - driving wet in France to Eurotunnel - little traction equalling Zed no likely compared to treacherous England with pools of water on the motorways and visibility of around 10m - scary times but the Zed handled much, much better. Coarser roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedMeister Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Few pictures, I have loads more to take off my mates camera, I can take off the one's of the Zed if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 if the glanza is as fast as your zed without an engine swap, there is something badly wrong with your zed :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 How? My Glanza was running just shy of 230 brake. It weighed just under 820kg. Do the maths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedMeister Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 How? My Glanza was running just shy of 230 brake. It weighed just under 820kg. Do the maths. Correct, power to weight ratio of a modified Glanza's can be scary quick. My mate's weigh's 900kg ish at the mo, 215 brake ish not disimilar to CMR's spec, he is however looking to making a few new mod's including a TD05 turbo, pushing 300 brake.

Peter10 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Great pictures . By the way, if you copy the location of the file and put it in it won't put it as thmbnails Really easy if you use Firefox, right click and chose "copy image location."

Drool: The best bit about that drool is that it has an almost carbon copy of the zed's 3.5l V6 engine inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
