Took the Z4 for a clear out on Saturday morning, Clevedon to Camborne via the A39 from Barnstaple.
Was not driving at warp-speed but it was great to get a few sweet overtakes in and really hook the car up in the twisties, with some great views.

Totally recommended drive off-season without any shed-draggers.

Returned via the A30 and that was strangely satisfying too.

350 roof-down miles - glad the Z4 has a powerful heater and heated pews.

Thanks!

This was a last minute decision, bright sunny day, a need for a hoon and an opportunity to watch rugby (Clevedon playing in Camborne) and an uncontrollable urge for a decent pasty smile

Sometimes all the elements come together and all rational thoughts about weekend chores disappear when the PH-hormones reach boiling point smile

Happy days

Sounds like fun. Must try and steer the next meet in that direction.

It's a good road but every time I attempt to have a bit of fun down there I get stuck behind an array of the 40mph crew who seem to fill their pants at the first sight of a corner.

I'll have to try again when I'm not powered by the black stuff.

Ah sorry, me being an eejit. I was thinking of the other direction which also has some nice corners.
