What have you done to me :shake: you've started me thinking....... When we lived there we used to go on JollyO's, basically (P*ss Up :oops: ) a great way of seeing some of the local sites and bodegas on route. Although the wine sampling in the bodegas probably wouldn't be so wise lol I bet Guadalest...

Calbens Know Altea very well, When I take the Zed over the drive down the coast road will be something else. I envy you! :mrgreen: A lot has changed in Altea since I was last there, lots of investment, but I believe it's fab. Can't think of anything nicer than a trip down the coast road in the Zed....

calbens

El Tel you probably know the place that I used to live, Altea. I spent my teens there, great place to grow up!

Hi Derek,
If you have a look at this viewtopic.php?t=4555&highlight=rust+lock
Should tell you all you need to know.
You need to act sharpish though cos the warranty runs out this year. I have until June with mine, just hope nothing appears after that time

calbens

I swear I only posted that once......Honest!!!!

calbens

Glad to hear all of the above. Should i take your tone and bold type as a slapdown? Gazza. Leave your sarcasm somewhere else Gary. It won't win you any favours on here mate. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/banhim.gif Argh thats not very nice Stu, I thought you'd already got your order in :wink: Large...

calbens (mora edition) can't wait to see this one :shock: No Pressure there then! :wink: Looks like my Saturdays mapped out for me.........Wash, polish, wax, polish, hoover, polish, wax, polish and drop in a heap with a useless right arm :shake: What are the odds that when I get there that it wont ...

calbens

I have no problem with either. Neons are great fun if you're 17 years old and want to make your small hatchback a little more interesting and eyecatching. Huge amusement and entertainment for all! But I'm a little older than that and yep, I'm a fully paid-up member of the BMW brand snobbery club. I...

Please, sell your Zed and spend your dosh on a 1.1 Clio with stuck-on plastic bits.

A.

Take it you don't like neons then Alfie

.... Or Clio's

calbens

We have 4 cars between 2 of us Same here, if only temporarily. Admiral have recently started Multicar policies for up to five cars. This worked out cheaper for me coz it spreads your no claims discount around. A. Thanks for that info Alfie, I'm going to have a look into it. It gets a bit mad gettin...

calbens

We have 4 cars between 2 of us

all insured separately

Really is annoying as we can only drive two at any one time

calbens

I agree with Gazza! I like the look of neons, to me they look pretty but it doesn't mean that I would go and do it to my car. 1. I'm way to old 2. I like my car just the way it is. No chrome add ons, did all that with my old Mini 8-) No extra body bits just plain and simple .....how can I call the Z...

calbens

Oakthorn, how does the car look with the neons underneath and what colour are they?
Get some photos posted!!!!

calbens

You have 5 seconds to move away from the car.........Ooops! Did I say 5..............I meant to say 2

calbens

Thats a better price than I thought it would have been.
It's still £200 that you wouldn't have had to spend though.
Pity someone can't create some kind of force field that frazzles anyone that comes within 1'-0" of the car

calbens

calbens... you interested in coming? I'd love to come :bounce: To be honest Gaydon I could manage but Donington is a bit too far away from me to make it practical. Since when has owning a Zed been practical :wink: RED will be there...... Just say where and when. It's worth the 264 mile round trip, ...

calbens

Your car looks great! So sorry for you though that someone could do that........... Do you mind me asking how much it cost to have the paint job? I will be mortified if it happens to me, and I just know that there are so many spiteful, jealous morons out there that I half expect it to happen :bawl: ...

calbens

Gaydon! Home of the Aston Martin

Do you think they'd do a straight swap DB9 - Z3

On second thoughts why a straight swap, I think they'd have to financially gratify me too!

calbens

I LOVE my Zed but the coupe is just so damn UGLY :puzzle: Maybe it's a female thing but I really can't understand what anyone see's in it...............I don't mean to offend any Coupe owners, honest :roll: Anyway before you all shout at me my other car's a 1972 Fiat 500 and plenty of people can't u...

calbens

I use mine every day too! :D I love driving it up and down the motorway to work and back (86 miles) and believe me, you really wont want the journey to end! Shminky is right "The bummer is you have to keep cleaning it" but its well worth the effort especially using Meguiars............I'm ...

calbens

Congratulations Alfie, the Red Devil is a stunner!

Now when do i get to test drive it.............

It's still not as nice as mine tho

calbens

Thanks c_w. Looks like its a trip to Halfords for me tomorrow.........

Sorry for bringing this back up after its been hidden away for so long, but it's started to happen with my drivers side handle :roll: Bought some White Lithium Grease Spray at Halfords in Leeds for £4.99 for about 400ml. One tiny squirt and everything was back to normal Can you tell me where you hav...

I'm pretty sure it's 6 years! Why has something appeared on your Zed

calbens

- obviously all contract engineers ! LP Yep....NO WAY would a contract draffy be seen in one THAT colour! :shock: :D A. I have to agree with Alfie.....I just showed my hubby (a contract draffy) and he said "not a cat in hells chance" :evil: :shock: I'm struggling to get him to drive mine ...

Nice Car EDnSKY!!!
Your not that far from me in Westhoughton, did you go far to get it, Private or Stealer? I looked for three months locally for a good low mileage one but ended up going down to London to get mine, last month...
Anyway Happy Zeding, your gonna love it

Congratulations Alfie!

Hurry up and get some pics posted

I know this is probably the wrong place to put this but as a newbie I'm sure you die hards will forgive me. My favourite place in the world is the Lakes (Cumbria) and now that I've owned my Zed for all of 3 weeks, one day, 12hrs and 2 minutes and covering nearly 1000K miles :shock:.... :bawl: I was ...

Please tell me that those quotes are that high because it's an ///M

Mine (2.0) will be due it's inspection II but I wasn't expecting it to be that amount

Is it because the engine is handbuilt?

I was hoping to avoid answering this thread as I wasn't a zed owner at the time. But as its been resurrected and I have my new baby I had better confess......... :head: 37 :oops: :roflmao: :roflmao: Go on, admit it, you need to go and get your glasses on to read it :roflmao: :roflmao:

Hi EDnSKY, Oh dear! I was hoping someone would have posted a reply to your question cos I too am looking for an independent in Wigan, which as you know isn't a million miles away from you. Looks like I will have to use a stealer :( Have you negotiated a deal yet? I've only had my Z3 for 6 days and I...

Ah, lovely car, lovely colour, but i am biased as the wifes is the same colour. So thats 2 i know of in Mora with that cream interior, fantastic looking car when its polished. Unfortunately, in this weather ours is looking a touch mucky!! Mick. Mick your wife has good taste :wink: As for this weath...

calbens

What's a "Mora edition"? Hmm.. Howcome it's got the facelift-interior, but the kidneys are black? Something to do with the individual-version perhaps? :) BTW, which engine has it got? Oh, and congrats on the purchase! :) The colour is Mora Red Metallic....Not that it looks very red in my ...

calbens

If the car is for everyday use over the winter, then the hard top is a good idea. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Besides, I bet you'll NEVER find one in that colour! Your right about finding one in that colour, I think I would have to source one and then get it resprayed. Might have to start saving ...

calbens

Thanks guys, I'm glad it gets the thumbs up :D how old is it? do you mind me asking how much did you pay - i bought mine recently and have discovered i'm rather anal about such matters! Nicky its a year 2000 special edition, I think like the velvet blue. Its done 27500 miles and its got full BMW ser...

calbens

What is? I hear you say.............. My new Z3 of course :D If it hadn't been for him and a few others who pointed me in the right direction, I wouldn't be the pround owner of my dream car. It was well worth the 400 round mile trip yesterday to pick it up even with the tail backs on the motorway. I...

OMG I can't sit still!!!!

Afie I must have sent a PM to you at the same time as you posted this.....

calbens

Hi Mick, Is the colour true to how it looks in the picture or is it brighter? I can't wait to get my hands on a Z3 and so far this one has ticked all the right boxes for me. I just hope its as good as it seems in the photos and what I have been told about it. Alfie has kindly offered to check it out...

calbens

I think i got the quote thingy a bit wrong then lol, hope it makes sense.
And Chris I'm very very

now that I have just realised how my words could be misread.........

calbens

If you want me to pop round and check it out for you, I'd be happy to oblige. I could find a spare hour on Sunday..... Wow! That would be so nice of you to do that. I am lost for words now! You really wouldn't mind doing that for me? It would save me a mega trip to find out that it's not worth it. ...

calbens

Actually, Pinner is quite famous..... Heath Robinson. Elton John. Simon Le Bon. Alfie... All well known Pinnerites Funny enough I found some of that out when I did a search on the area, well I had to check it out to ensure that my future car came from a nice area :rtm: Although it never mentioned A...

calbens

Thanks for that Nicola, I have been looking locally but the ones I have seen have all had something wrong (in my eyes lol) and seem to be over priced in comparison to others further afield. I think what's attracted me to this one is the colour, the condition its in and the fact it's low mileage. It ...

calbens

Nice car! But there are a couple of things that could be a problem, one of which is that it's above my budget and secondly I'd end up either without a licence or worst, wrapping myself around a tree, if the speeds there it just has to be used :wink: I'm really looking at something that I can use to ...

calbens

So who's Alfie then?
I've just been sent some more photos of the interior and it really does look pristine....I'm falling in love again

and thats not good!
