A belated intro

[Bob123]

Hi everyone,

I joined the forum last year after buying an E85 Z4 pre facelift 3 litre manual gearbox roadster and am really enjoying the experience. I've had a selection of sportscars, hot hatches and more humdrum stuff over the years, including a Z3 2.8 wide body and a Lotus Elise series 1.

It's interesting comparing it against the other cars that I've owned, particularly the Z3 of course.

Cheers

I bet there's some good driving roads around your neck of the woods @andyglym!

Hi Bob and from me too in Stafford.

@Mint, you're relatively closeby. Nice looking Z3 there, similar to my old one.

Do you know any Garages/Bodyshops/restorers in the area that you could recommend? I'm going to be tidying up a few bits and bobs on the bodywork and mechanically.

As you're relatively closeby, I was wondering if you know any Garages/Bodyshops/restorers in the area that you could recommend? I'm going to be tidying up a few bits and bobs on the bodywork and mechanically. TIA

I know a couple here, but it's a long way for you to bring the car. Must be somebody nearer to you.

Yes, I'd hope that there would be. I've had some good recommendations but all of them are a good drive away.

I've used a bodyshop in Stafford and a BMW Indie in Stoke on Trent, but neither for a few years now. There must be places close to you?

@Mint, there's Hind Heath BMW at Sandbach, though I don't know anyone who has used them, other than that I don't really know.
