First "Road Trip" in my Z

Zsteve

I just did a 1500 mile road trip and all was good. Oil temp stayed around 205 210 the whole time. seats were pretty comfortable. Crusie did great. My Garmin put me on some really out of the way highways once I was close to el paso so I was able to open her up some. 1 5 0. Car now has 11000 miles so I check my air filters and they had some debris in them so I shook them out and will clean better once Im settled in. All in All she did good.

I will soon be back at my place on Prince Edward Island Canada for a while, and I am planning a road trip this spring to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I'll drive the Cabot Trail. Awesome road and scenery see:

Map of Cabot Trail

Anyone want to join me? A "Z" rally through the Canadian Maritimes!

I also plan on attending the racing/drivers school at Atlantic Motorsports Park in May sometime, which will then allow me to test the Z during "open track" in the afternoon.

Can't wait!

I have no idea where that is but sounds beautiful! I will be going up to a place called "Harrison Hot Springs" in Canada in a couple months...unfortunately, I'm flying into Bellingham,WA and will be driving a rental car with a friend up there, not my Z! I go to a spa up there once a year with a couple girlfriends, so beautiful!

Cape Breton is east of Prince Edward Island Canada, north of New Brunswick. Beautiful country and awesome roads (nice and smooth, no traffic, etc.). And the home of some GREAT Celtic rock musicians (Ashley MacIsaac, Natalie MacMaster, Slainte Mhath, to name a few). There's a Celtic music festival there in October (called Celtic Colours Festival), bands playing in every town almost.

A bit far from the west coast though..............too bad!

I grew up around 30 minutes south of Bellingham and I did my undergraduate work at WWU in Bellingham. It's beautiful in NW Washington and SW BC. Taking the North Cascade Highway (north Highway 20) over the mountains in summer would be awesome in a Z.

Small world...my parents live out in Acme..off the 8 (I think?) I imagine that little road through there to Sedro Wooley would be a fun drive in the Z as well! I was born in Washington state

That's highway 9 from Bellingham (off the Mt Baker Highway) to Woodinville. Awesome drive -- I used to drive it to Sedro in my old Fiat 124 Spider -- when I wasn't jigglin' the wires under the dashboard to get the fuel pump to work
