Alfie the IT guru. How do you change the time on ZR?

Anyway, as usual it was a great drive. I'm sure the scenery was magnificent, but it was just a blur to me :) . I must need new glasses.

Thanks Spokey

Thanks Spokey.

Great to see some (extremely) old faces out today....(you know who I mean!) AND even some Z virgins too! Great turnout.

Best wishes to Lynne. Hope she's better soon. :fade

I also want to add my thanks spokey as a Z virgin. Really enjoyed the days driving. I only had a few hair raising moments, basically due to not knowing the roads and to trying to keep my 1.9 up with your 2.5 but otherwise spot on. :P Cheers
