Re: Wanted. Rear screen zipper
Hi,
I bought a replacement window with a fitting kit on the forum for £60 about 2 years ago. I haven't used it because I replaced the whole hood. Do you want a couple of pics?

Last winter I couldn't even get mine to clear with the heater full on. Then I started to hear the noise of water sloshing about. I mentioned it at my local garage and it was as simple as reaching under the engine compartment to release a drain cover. God knows how long it had been building up. There...

Z3M Dakar yellow Paris
Spotted a near mint example of this splendid car in the window of a showroom at 15 Avenue Rapp in Paris last week. If you are lucky enough to be near the Eiffel tower any time soon check it out. It fair outshone the red Ferrari to its left.

Saw this beauty in my rear view mirror on Bank Holiday Monday. Flashed his lights and gave a little wave. Nice guy, nice car. Wished I'd washed mine but he went past too fast to notice. Gave it the full monty this morning. Well, a half monty if truth be told.
