getting used to arriving at flags faster
than expected. Touching the brakes of
the ZS to calm the car down was a
common occurrence.
Two other big differences were brakes
and steering. I used to think that the
1100 had good brakes. Compared with
the ZS the brakes are non-existent.
The power steering in the ZS reduced
fatigue on windy courses compared with
the 1100.
After the first couple of courses I was
convinced that the ZS was about 5%
faster than the 1100. By the end of the
day I had gone faster on one of the
courses in the 1100 than the ZS. Fur-
ther experimentation is required to de-
termine which car is faster. I look for-
ward to gaining more experience in the
MG ZS in both Brisbane and Adelaide.
