Ended up leaving Manchester at around 1.30pm in the end, taking 5 hours to get home with traffic on the M6, M40 and M25
But, the car was once again faultless and I arrived home without a single pain or any tiredness
Things I've learnt from the last few days:
1. The M62 summit (UK's highest motorway) has some great scenery!
2. The Zed is very comfy on a long ride (568mile round trip)
3. The Zed is quite economical on long journeys - I averaged 32.2mpg and that was with sitting in lots of traffic today. I used 1 tank and just under another quarter. I reckon I could easily get 500miles to tank on a clear run
4. Lot's of people like my purple wheels numerous thumbs up and smiles as people were alongside the car in traffic
5. Don't try chasing a Lambo Gallardo...they're fast but I'm louder
6. Multi-story car parks are not my friend! Lots of scraping the front bumper coming down the ramps
Saw 2 Zed's, 1 Azure going North on the M6 at around 2.45pm and an import in the traffic on the M25 at around 5pm. Also saw a black 370z who had a good look at the car before overtaking me
She's enjoyed her trip I think, now she's all tucked up for the night, ready for a rolling road day and some tweaks tomorrow
