Prescott Drivers' School 19/9/18
Smart looking blue Z3 at the drivers' school today. Had .org stickers front and rear + BMWCC Z3 register, but as I seem to be locked out of .org at present (not been on for over three months as sold my Z3) I will post a spotted here. I would add a photo, but during this afternoon's sessions it colli...

Re: Condensation
I tried the Pingi bags.
No use in my MB CLC when I owned it.
I leave one on the dash of the Z3 and the only bit it clears is the windscreen right next to where it's placed.
When I remember, it will go in the dustbin.
Nice Droop Snoot BTW!
Not seen one for a long time.

Re: Exhaust question / Boot-Bag
Hi Gareth,
I bought the longer ones (IIRC) as I planned to use the bag on other cars as well as the Morgan. The Boot-Bag team are very helpful and friendly so a quick email or phone call will give you the answer.

I like that, except for it being LHD.
Typical rushed car dealer advert though - not double checking which boxes have been checked.
There's an interesting car or two in the background - Jaguar XKR, early VW Golf (probably GTI from the grille, although a lot of cheaper Golf's were modded that way).
