I would make my way to Bovington tank museum and take control of a tank or 2 certainly an M1A1 Abrams can run on aviation fuel, petrol, diesel so would be able to fill up anywhere, it's already armoured and sealed plus it has firepower and if I can't find rounds for the guns I can just squish zombies with the tracks.
Also the biggest problem in an apocalypse is abandoned cars on the roads. With a tank I can drive over them, plus most tanks have a hot plate for cooking.
A good call. Also the biggest problem in an apocalypse is abandoned cars on the roads. With a tank I can drive over them, plus most tanks have a hot plate for cooking.
Mind you, Aldershot Military Museum isn't bad either:

Id have a gas guzzling supercar, no point worrying about zombies, human teeth are s
t, as are human nails. So free fuel and open roads.
Just wear a thick leather jacket, helmet, and some nice thick jeans (best double up to be sure unless you have leathers) and you're fine out and about. Providing they are traditional stumbling ones not silly running ones. Unless you get boxed in by loads you really are fine unless you have learning difficulties.
Break the stairs in your house, stay upstairs until the muscle rots away due to lack of oxygen in the zombies and you're fine.
Unless they are necromancy zombies, in which case you're fked on that front. But you should still be ok until the witchfinder generals and Van Helsings sort it out.
Quite. My first stop would be the bike shop for some leather and a helmet. Then I'd pop into homebase for some garden tools and then I'd have a giggle!t, as are human nails.

Crawl along all quiet like in urban areas. Minimal fuel usage.
Not happy about it, but it beats being a zombie. I think.
until you come to anything whatsoever blocking the road. then game over.Crawl along all quiet like in urban areas. Minimal fuel usage.

you either need to be able to go around things, through them or something completely different.
think motorbike/bicycle , jcb/military or boat/plane/helicopter

Well, seeing as you've "resurrected" a zombie thread..here's my input.
All our zombie experience tells us three things:
1) You always get killed going out and looking for fuel. Every time. You get killed looking for it, opening up fuel tanks on abandoned cars, and when you crash into a crowd of zombies, your jerry cans add to the conflagration. Unfortunately, once the zombie apocalypse is upon us, the best use for petrol will be burning the undead.
2) Zombies have evolved to be noise sensitive. The more noise you make, the more zombies arrive. You need to keep quiet.
3) Zombies are quicker than they used to be. Acceleration from standstill is important.
So here's the thing: the start of the zombie apoclaypse will be the time when EVs are finally viable. Here is the ideal zombie car:
Silent running, does not attract attention. You charge it from the solar array on your roof, no need to go and look for fuel, its always charged when you set off. Blistering acceleration, so when you see a horde of the undead coming towards you, you can clear off sharpish.
No off road capability, but you don't want to be off road - that is where the zombies have the advantage, because you are not a lot faster than them.
