Default Brickyard on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Sunday was a beautiful day here in the Carolinas. So, I tanked up the Z and headed for the mountains!

After 7 hours in the car, I did not feel a bit tired from driving. It was fantastic the whole trip!

Of course, I took a few pics. Wish I could get a gallery here so I could post some bigger versions of these. The pics look much better at 1280x960.

Anywho... here are some of the better shots for you brickyard addicts...

Damn man! You're making me want to change my order to a Brickyard. That color looks gorgeous. Silverstone....Brickyard....Silverstone....Brickyard.... AHhhhhh I can't decide. With Brickyard I can get frost leather. Nice pics. BTW Zaino Bros. works great. I use the stuff on my Prowler and even after the dealership F--ked up my paint job I was able to get out most of the swirls and scratches. Never, EVER let the dealership clean your car when they have it. They think they're doing you a service but guarenteed they will jack up your paint job.

wxtornado...

I've got these same pics in higher resolution. Give me an email at home, mcduck@earthlink.net. I'd be glad to zip these (and some more) and send them to you. Of course, you'll probably need a highbandwidth connection. I zip 2 MB packages....

Dr Bonz...
Thank you, that is high praise coming from the Zaino-master!

xXx...
In the end, you must chose what you'll like best. It helped me a lot to consider what I would enjoy after having it more than a year. For instance, I like the LeMans Sunset, too... but decided after a year that color would grow old to me. Hope you go brick, but get what you like! Also, can't agree more on the Zaino. Seems I get quite a few swirls between washes from dusting and what not... the Z-5 takes 'em right out! Can't than Dr Bonz for selling me on this stuff!

Phatmitzu...
Thanks!
