Last Saturday, Julia, The Zed and I took a little trip over to the Isle of Wight for a few days....

The weather wasn't too bad - it only rained as we were leaving..... We got given a good spot on the ferry both ways and our hotel was empty apart from us, so my Zed also had the whole car park to itself 😄 

The Zed attracted quite a bit of attention too - when we arrived at Lymington Ferry Port a young lad of about 10, out with his dad, was really taken with the car. He knew exactly what is was and asked if he could take some pictures. Then two guys in the car behind us in the queue got out to admire the Zed. And then when we were parked in Seaview on Monday, a group of young guys passing by stopped their car and got out to look around it too!!

We also met up with an old forum friend - Groover (Graham) and his wife Julie. He still has his yellow Zed, although it's been off the road a few years now. He does have a couple of donor Zeds, so hopefully will get his car up and running when he gets some time 😉 

So the important bit - some gratuitous Zed pics; albeit thy are from my phone, until I upload the ones from my camera later this weekend........😎

Very nice Richard and glad to hear Graham is well.

All round success on all aspects of the trip then Richard. Good news and good travels. 

A few more Zed pics, this time from my camera...........

Saw a nice old P4 Rover at The Spyglass Inn, in Ventnor - my Dad used to have one of these..... 🙂

Also saw a raven in the wild, for the first time - I've only ever seen them in captivity (or at The Tower of London) before... He was probably a juvenile, given his size - and quite tame too, most probably on the look-out for food, as it was near a beach cafe LOL

Then finally back to Yarmouth and onto the ferry home....

Looked an awesome trip Richard and some brill photos! I'm heading there in a month's time for a long weekend looking forward to it I've never been, I won't be taking the Zed tho unfortunately as just not big enough for all of us to go in lol 😅

You'll enjoy it mate. I love the Island, it still retains its "Old-England" charm, no matter how many years pass by..... We're going back in September - by strange coincidence, they have a two day classic car show, the weekend we arrive 😉

I am going to message the organisers to enquire about participating - who knows, I may be able to get us a club display area for a handful of Zeds!

Yeah that's why we want to go to see a more traditional English place , looking forward to it 😀 

Ah brill you landed on that one then! I'm sure a few zedders may make the trip who are from down south!
