Gonna leave for this from Plymouth in about10 mins, anyone fancy an a38 convoy?

[BuzyG]

Good to see a few old faces and meet a few new ones this morning. S400 sounded lovely.

[Mcbeth]

Well, my new million pound battery got me all the way to Poole without issue, even with the wipers on most of the way!
Not the most pleasant journey if I'm honest.
Good to see all of you, some really cool cars today, see you next time in something a little more reliable!

[JumboBeef]

Thank you to everyone who turned up. A very nice and wide selection of cars. Looking forward to the next one, at the end of July.

At least you don't have to remember to put the roof down when it's sunny.

How are you both finding the Zed?

So far, so good. Takes a lot of getting used to as it is a bit sensitive. Second time I drove it the gritters had just set off and rolling out of the depot in second gear it was only the electronics that kept me out of The Herald.

It's Ann's regular commuter atm - but the throttle response seems VERY sharp initially, pretty easy to kangaroo if not careful.

Boot not as big as hoped, 2 bags of garden waste and it is full (so put the others in the maser and take both cars to the tip )

Had one hiccup when the TPS lit up on the M5, tyre pressure was fine, but the tyre was a bit snotted on the outer edge so got an alignment done anyway. No problems since.

Rear nearside disc got very hot at Goodwood when she did a trackday there (Octane magazine one, very civilised, 6 cars max at any time). The traction control was kicking in on the fast kink after turn 1, which might have been something to do with it. the handbrake sticks slightly now on that wheel, but frees as soon as you drive off, so i'll get it looked at when it has an oil change later this year (not due one but we always do it annually on all the cars).

Went to an indy BMW/Merc/Porsche place in Exeter about the handbrake, they looked out of the window and said "we don't tend to deal with mercs". I suspect I'll be going to Paddock then.

Paul, I'd try the main dealer, I was using the same indy (I think) and went to the main dealer to see if they could match the labour price, they did and great service so far!!!!!
