PeterAllen Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Justin's post (here) has whet the appetite even more for our upcoming Tassie trip. Occurred to me that perhaps most (all?) LSx powered Zeds will be in Tassie at the one time and it might be a chance for me to catch up with a few. Preliminary planning suggest a schedule something like this; Day 1 Devonport - Cradle Mountain Day 2 Strahan - Queenstown Day 3 Drive to Hobart Day 4-5 Port Arthur and East Coast Day 6 Tamar Valley Day 7 Launceston (Longford ) Devonport Mick, Justin, Scott, et al - If I will be travelling close to your location, I wonder if you could PM me so we might be able to work something out.

600Z Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi Peter, Sounds good and it should be lovely weather that time of the year as well. I’m glad you liked the videos posted though never looks as good when in video. I took quite a few that day and did about a five hour drive today and took more videos but I wasn’t using the A/C and had the drivers window down, not the best idea as there is a fair bit of wind noise especially on a couple of the straights when I gave it a quick stab to just over 200km/hr lol, so from now on windows up when video is going. Will see you in March. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldzguy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Seems like all Tassie Zed's are V8 nowadays ! Not LS powered but still an impressive HP figure I'd wager Any one know who & where? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600Z Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have no idea but it’s a nice looking 2+2. There are quite a few zeds here in Tassie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAllen Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Caught up with Mick. Two Zeds = 11.4 ltrs and near 800 hp I'd suggest. Ideal for touring Tassie. George and andyk_79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozza Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) That’s great Peter, looks like a nice itenerary. How’s the car going? Holding onto all 4 wheels I hope ? Mick Edit. Nice wheels Mick Edited March 14, 2018 by Cozza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAllen Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Mick. 4,200 km plus and I didn't even lift the bonnet. Nothing broke, fell off or was nicked, and not a drop of rain. I was most impressed with 7.8 ltrs/100km fuel consumption - The overdrive 6th speed, 26" dia rear tyres and tall diff had it doing 115km/h at 1400 revs. Followed Jeff's suggestion and dropped in at the Zeehan museum - wonderful stuff. The highlight (for me) was visiting Longford and driving on what remains of the old circuit. Long-haired, young whipper snappers like yourself weren't even a glint in your father's eye when the circuit closed.
