Zig Zag Hill - What a hoot!!

[anonymous-user]

Just been for a superb open top hoon up ZZH and other roads in the area. Very few cars and those that were there made for superbly pleasurable overtaking.

Days like this were invented to just drive and drive and drive with no other reason than pure fun and pleasure!!

[jeevescat]

Yep, lovely weather in Shaftesbury today.

That sounds like so much more fun than working... what a stonking day for hoon clear blue skies nice dense cold air to give you that slight performance edge!!
Last time I was out that way it was dark wet, still cracking on quite well then just as i came over the brow of the final hill I see tail lights approaching me at a rapid rate (if you know what i mean!) 18-22mph round the bends, the weather couldn't ruin the drive but 2 old dears in a seat could!
Still glad you enjoyed it!!

I'll have to head up there sometime!
Last meet, we didn't get quite that far!
Looks like epic fun though

You mean you live in bournemouth and you've never been out to play up there?
Get up there you'll love it... my main problem is choosing which route to take to get there and back... so many choices

I moved down here for work and was tied up with that until a few months back, so never had the chance to.
I went nearly all the way up a few months back, but didn't realise I was practically at one end of it!
Will have to do it when i have a free weekend.
Meet perhaps?

Did it again yesterday....

[LukeBird]

Aaah I was at the pub yesterday, although driving not drinking, so no hoon for me.
Although did manage to go out with my dad in the 7!

Did it yesterday with the Bolocs, absolutely teffifying. Icy dark road, new tires lead to a hairy side ways moment.

Won't be rushing back.

Ouch!
Perhaps when i'll go up there when it's a little warmer...
At least you're car is in one piece!

The higher road from Blandford to Shaftesbury is closed from today i believe! I got through ok this morning but alot of the 'road closed' signs were going up, roadworks for approx 10 weeks I think but have no idea if the road will be closed for that long! bit bemused by it really as it was only last year they resurfaced it all!

I went at around 2pm.... roads were dry and very grippy!

Trust you popped in to Compton airfield for a Bacon roll while you were there.

Meet sounds interesting... probably have to do an evening hoon as i work most weekends sadly... wait until the evenings get lighter that is normally a great time to go up there!!!

Probably need to get some decent tyres on the honda before i go out to play... pirelli's are rather scary when pushed

I get the feeling yours are probably a wee bit better than mine chap!!! P-Zero's perhaps?

[LukeBird]

The new Conti's on mine are just bedding in nicely, perhaps this would be a nice way to treat the new boots

Have been driving home down 'zig zag' hill due to the above problem, forgotten how much fun it was!

[LukeBird]

I'm tempted this weekend if the weather is nice


Oh and anyone going to watch the Sunseeker Rally?
