Zig Zag Hill

Post by sja » Fri Sep 14, 2007 12:03 pm

Finally a couple of pics of my car. Having just got home last night after a spell down south.

I managed to fit in Zig Zag Hill (B3081 near Shaftsbury) on my travels. I’m sure some of you would have seen 5th gear when they did it. I took it easy for the first few run, well that was the intention anyway having driven down it first you get a feel for just how tight the corners are, as most of the road is surrounded by trees it reminds me if I get wrong it’s going to hurt!
The first run up the hill had the adrenalin going, it’s just savage, accelerate, brake change gear accelerate again. This wee bit of road was designed for the our cars. My cars running P Zero’s which when pushed brake traction and allow a little side ways action, tight corners that open up are so much Fun.
What can I say my 111s has now cover 700 miles since Sunday and it’s been a blast.

Nice :)

Dump the Pirellis though. They were lethal in the wet when new and they haven't made them for years, so yours will be solid and even more hairy. Don't wait for them to wear out either, 'cos they won't if they are that old and hard.

What he said. Order new tyres now. in the wet they provide the following feedback,

"You have loads of grip, you have loads of grip, weeeheee we're sliding."

Then you crash.
