Hello Zedders
Well the time finally came today to experience not only a Z3 1.9 but a Z3 1.9 ZCAR
AND I BLOODY LOVED IT!!!
The very kind or should I say the very trusting lovely @CTZCar Callum allowed me to drive his beautiful Z3 on one condition
YOU MUST DRIVE IT FAST!!!!!![Nail Biting :nailbiting: :nailbiting:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/nailbiting.png)
So there is me in a lovely chaps car I met for 5mins with a booster cushion and @N4LLY coat to push me up to see over the steering wheel and @Jamie Jeffrey sat next to me as my instructor![Rally :rally: :rally:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rally.gif)
So @Jamie Jeffrey was keen for me to start first which made me a little uneasy but he soon calmed me down as it was time to start her up![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
There was this cool switch to lift up and flick a second switch and then the START button to push in and ..........ROAR![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
she was started
1st gear and oh wow I am actually moving toward the line up in front behind the pace cars
At this point I am thinking @Jamie Jeffrey is a good actor or just to cool and laid back
he didn't look worried at all
![Rally :rally: :rally:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rally.gif)
We started to follow the pace car out of the pit lane on the National circuit and straight away Jamie started instructing me on the lines to take which gear and when to brake and mostly importantly the power!!!! Well I couldn't let @CTZCar down and drive like an old dear![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
After a few laps I settled in and heard POWER POWER POWER POWER A LOT![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
WOW WOW WOW who the hell ever said a 1.9 was slow??? I was one of them until now
This car handled so so so well amazing off the corners and dam quick down the straight and sounded lovely (yes a 1.9 sounded really good)![Rally :rally: :rally:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rally.gif)
Now I did get a tad carried away towards the end of session out of Copse, went to wide over the rumble strip lost the back end (more experience required) and did an epic 360
and was caught on camera by @Lee Barraclough ![Nail Biting :nailbiting: :nailbiting:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/nailbiting.png)
A bit shocked but finally managed to get it out the grass and @CTZCar has a lump of grass from the Silverstone track as a souvenir (sorry)
I can truly say I had way more fun in this Z3 1.9 than I did last time in my Z3M 3.2 and I went much quicker in the 1.9![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So anyone with a 1.9 thinking you need something quicker you don't
