I haven't noticed any bad mouthing of Z4um, a few were a little peeved that it wasn't back up right away until they found out the site owner was out of the country.

Hi guys I recognise a few familiar names from Z4um

Had a quick look and didn't see this posted anywhere else, so just to update you on Z4um, this info was posted on zroadster.net -

Quote:
I have received the following very sad message, yesterday evening, from z4ce:

Quote:
I am in pakistan helping my sister in law. She was in a bad car accident and has been left paralysed. We have arranged for air ambulance to uk. I will be back next week and will get site up then. I dont have net access here. Sending this via phone gprs.


I have sent him a reply from his friends on all the forums wishing them both well and giving them our kind regards.

You can see from the above Z4um will be down for a time yet, and thank zroadster for their hospitality.
So until Z4um returns I will be lurking on Zpost along with you other refugees.

Hi guys! Long time no see!

Anyway, today is my 14th day of Bluesie's Big Adventure. I'm in Austin Texas tonight, and about to head to town to check out the legendary music scene.

I've racked about 4000 miles so far. By the way... I officially proclaim route 161 running down Apache National Forest as the worlds BEST drive. 100 miles of twisty turneys, many a hairpin, many a wonderful zigzag, and maybe one car per hour or so coming the other way. Beautiful day for it, too. It may have something to do with being off season, to account for the lack of traffic, but I never... not once... got stuck behind anyone else. One sign said "10 MPH next 12 miles", but 40 worked fine for all but the hairiest outside, sheer drop hairpins. I reccoment sat nav set to 250 meter, so you can see what to expect with the next curve.

Drove through an AWESOME Texas thunderstorm yesterday. The best lightning show I've ever seen. That was the only drive time the tops been up so far. I was tempted to let her down to really experience the storm, but I'm WAY glad I didn't. Took over an hour to get through, and had to slow to 40 with flood lights on for a good chunk it was coming down so hard. I had to ford a flash flood too, after exitting to listen to the rumbling for a while.

Anyway, thought I'd say HI to all my friends from Z4UM. I'm figuring two days to New Orleans, a couple days there, then two more to Orlando and my brother's house, then back home the northern route.

Hey Fire-n-Ice... any good drives through Georgia?

Oh yeah. I almost forgot to mention... I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!! She even looks good splattered with bugs, and drives. . . drives. . . I. . I can't find the words. Smooth as silk at 125 in Nevada... she just "sets", like she's pushing tighter to the road. . . incredible. (Pretty windy too... hehehe.)

Oh, sheeeeeeeeeeet... you found us.

There goes my rehab now.

Welcome to the forum, Bluesharp!!! I give you this official welcome:

Once fire-n-ice finds out... I'll be so dumped. Thanks, dood.

Remember to post some pics from yer va-cay, eh?

So this is where everybody went!

Looks like a great forum.

Hate to see Z4um down but hope things work out for z4ce and family.

Wife says I've been actin' weird lately (probably because I'm spending free time asking her about her day, etc)

This should make her happy.....I'll be out of her hair!!!!!!

If you can get your car on a boat and continue the adventure in Germany, I have 2 outstanding recommendations for you:

A63 between Mainz and Kaiserslautern. No limit, and very few cars at most hours during the day.

A7 south of Wuerzberg...Another no limit road with few cars...unless you are driving during a german holiday or ski season...

Alternate: A45 between Giessen and Hanau (can be trafficy tho...)

Enjoy your trip bro.
