Who else is going ?

I've also booked for the Saturday, who else is going?

According to Fred Brossaud's site page 12 it was the only one in that colour/combo...so yes unique.

Excellent work Jet...very informative.

Result... Just got £15.00 worth of free fuel. Well done BMWCC and Jet.

Whilst E45 is a great product (I use it on me not the car) it won't have any U.V filters added...something to consider.

Hi RT I hope you can find a way to keep a Z1 in your life, not many people have owned two of these cars as you have. As you know they really are unique little cars that get under your skin and you have used yours in conditions that most of us wouldn't dream of SNOW etc. I had tried to add a link of ...

Wow... top work Motorhead :thumb: I presume the split was caused by not enough leather feed (usualy first owner) and plenty of sun abroad. I always feed the leather in mine 2/3 times a year to stop it drying out... There's a lot of leather in a Z1 You've done very well to take all that apart and put...

Is it just me?...The car comes with a hardtop but I can't see any mounting holes/points in the usual places, I'm sure that those with hardtops will be on to correct me if I'm wrong...maybe it's supplied with the car ready to fit?

Side indicator position looks a little odd!

Jet I'm Interested if dates don't clash with hols etc.

Interested if the date works

Ok I'll give It a try... Thanks for checking Jet

Hi Jet

Yes I found that but it says...Valid from 1 March until 31 December 2013. Terms and conditions apply. See inside for details.

I'm looking for 2014.

Anyone know if this offer is being run again in 2014???

As every where I've looked shows it to have finished in 2013

Just bought two Michelin's for one of our daily drivers, so would be more than happy with a fuel card/voucher.

Looks nice...

Hi Genie, How you doing fella, no magazine for me yet, so Ive not read it. What do you think about the mag overall, noticed anything different lately? It has been given a subtle makeover, so hope you like it. PS: Peter's Wife may have a point :D Hi Jet Yeah mag looking good and nice to see more Z1 ...

Excellent article written by Sam in this months edition of the French Zed meeting organised by F. Brossaud. Kinda brings it all back to me now,that sure was a good time we had out there. Great company and a fantastic drive despite the rain. As some of you may know we encompassed the tour within a tw...

Just got a new mohair hood for the Z1. Made a fitted by Trimania in Wokingham. It looks rather nice, fits well and I can't tell the difference between it and the original it replaced (except for the holes) although yet to rain test it. Cost was £700 + VAT. :) Did they use the original rubber seals?...

The full spec.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all who made this tour possible,also thanks to Andy and Colin at Lotus for the factory tour. Sorry we were unable to join you on the Sunday but I was nursing a massive toothache the whole weekend which culminated in route canal treatment today :head: Great to ...

GG This luggage set was an official BMW Accessory. Shown in the German Z1 accessory catalogues of 03/89 and 06/90. I looked for one in 1994 but neither BMW or the manufacturers could supply the set. I have seen a set go on eBay in excellent condition for £1,500! The three pieces fit in the boot wit...

Anyone know if this is original equipment? and where does it all fit in the boot assuming the spare wheel/first aid kit is in place? Gonna be a bit snug to say the least. I assume top down motoring with the hood in the boot would be a challenge :lol: http://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-Z1-Taschenset-sehr-sel...

Andy you have a pm from me.

Yep that guy sure can shine a zed...must have arms like popeye by now

Well done Ian I saw your car at Silverstone still as good as ever.

Jet I've already confirmed we're booked in at the hotel back in May.

Chris is not bothered about the Lotus tour so that's one less to consider.

Wait to hear about group meal/meeting points.

Welcome back..where you bin?

Is the z1 all fixed now? and how's the CSL? Sorry to ask so many questions but don't know when you gonna be on next...

BMW car magazine August issue...just out 7 page article which features a rather nice Top red example.

Of those three colours I'd go with the blue

I might go with different colors from Z1 colors list.

What about this?

The car was originally green see here: http://www.bmw-z1.com/z1/cgi-bin/Z1decode-e.cgi As Jet says the panel gaps at the front nose cone don't look correct and need some adjustment, does the car have air con? I may be wrong but I believe some in Saudi Arabia did get this (special order) if I'm wrong...

Now that we are only a few days away from this years Silverstone Classic, it is time to consider a meeting point prior to entering the Silverstone circuit. On the Saturday morning it is proposed that we meet again at the "Super Sausage Café" near Paulersbury some 6/7 miles south of Towces...

Really sorry to hear of your troubles RT I also can't recommend a London based repairer, but when I saw your old green car after ML had arranged for a cosmetic makeover it looked like new.

I know it's a bit of a trek there but they did your old car proud
Hope you get it sorted soon.

We are still on the road travelling between Spain and France but will post pictures upon our return.

Excellent!

A.

I wonder if it can be driven with the doors down like my Z1? Doubtful with health and safety laws these days.

Eunos coupe?

Yup he's right... mine was serviced at the same place ML the oil they used was Castrol SMX synthetic gear oil.

No crunchy gear changes for me

Hi Jet I have already booked tickets for Silverstone for the Saturday so a tour on the Sunday would fit. Likewise for Gaydon weekend kept open in my diary but tickets yet to be purchased (when are these available?) having said that happy to support a separate weekend if it doesn't clash with anythin...

Jet I have booked Silverstone tickets so hope to see the usual suspects present. When do we book for Gaydon? As the BMW CC site is not showing availability at the moment or (am I being a bit to quick off the mark/thick/or missing something?)

Ticket ordered see you all on the Saturday (won't need hotel or meal)
