Not quite

Did think about photos during the paint job, may contact them tomorrow.
Know what you mean Dave re the expectant father, Dropping him (Monty), off at the body shop today was like dropping the daughter off for her first day at school.

Car gone to the paint shop today, main problem i am told is "filler pop" top of both wings, from a previous repair not known to me, now starting to craze! With a chip on the bonnet and a couple of scrapes on the lower valance, in to have the front bumper and bonnet re sprayed. Took some pi...

Like the look of the gear lever surround, keep up the great work Barry

Keep away from them Kerbs Bill

Wouldn't be for me Pete. Valve stem oil seals etc will be hard due to lack of use. These very low mileage cars generally give a lot more bother than cars used everyday. I do worry a bit with mine, it only does 1500 a year but it had done 80k odd when I bought it. :) if it got out of bed in the wint...

That sound a good price for Trade Insurance, paid that twenty years ago

Bowler

Mines with Adrian Flux as a classic along with the other BM, but as with all insurances brokers / companies they try it on every year to increase the premium.

Bowler

Thing its more about investing our hard earned into something that gives enourmous pleasure that will last and may as a bonus increase in value

Bowler

The Z3 was never a new car i dreamed of, but as a second car in its, and my maturing years it certainly hits the spot for me. Nothing better for stress relieve than putting the top down, no matter what the weather and hitting the open road, should be on prescription.

Bowler

Well done that man! I really enjoy spending a few hours under the carport bringing Reggie up to his best. I have never clay barred but would like to have ago before putting him back on the road in the spring. Scarlett looks great for a bit of elbow grease. Hope the weather holds so you can get the ...

Bowler

Bit two far for me but nice to see other Z owners not letting a bit of cold weather keeping them in.
Don't forget those plastic rear windows don't like being folded when cold

Bowler

Have both, As a second car the Z makes the perfect weekend toy

Bowler

Top down again today just my Z3 and Pooleys Z4, trip to Mainz car care Bolsover. Journey time normally 60 minute 40mile round trip.
In a Z 95 miles / 4 hours including a rather good lunch, Life's hard in Z land (needs a clean now before being tucked up under in its cover)

Bowler

Looks like it could do with one of your seatbelt fixes Barry?

Bowler

No room at the inn for three cars. so yep the Hondas going.

Sure we will be out and about plenty in the new year, Perhaps we could have a winter daily driver cruise. Could be fun throwing the CRV around Derbyshire

Bowler

Nice line up, remember next time Maurice to take your Disabled parking badge

Bowler

Lousy weather great day, big thanks to Moz and Andrea for letting us play in there back yard and being such a great tour guide. Gave Pooley his first taste of cruising the Z way, for a Cruise virgin the boy did good, his new Z4 had a good run out but needs a good clean tommorow. Got some funny looks...

Short notice but weather permitting will be at the Strines inn Saturday between 11:30 and 12 noon for a run around the peaks taking in Castleton, Glossop and Holmefirth.
Giving the Z3 a run out with new member Pooley and his Z4 if any one would like to tag along. planning on a gentle introduction.

Bowler

Agree with all above, love my 1.9 better balanced with a great feel when chucking it about, Keep away from motorways at all costs in the Z, enjoy the fun factor on A and B roads plus with the top down more than quick enough.

Bowler

looking good in the sun, could take a picture of me in my BMW raincoat but maybe not.

Bowler

Its a hard life

Bowler

Just jealous
