Me and Shirl had a visitor today at home. Lovely to see our mate Roy who'd taken a day off from his work decorating to give his new manifold a good run out. He let me have a run round my test route and I have to say hisZ3 drives very well, and even though I hadn't driven it before the manifold swap I was impressed by the smooth delivery of power right through the revs range.
Before we went out in Roy's car we had done the same route in my car with Roy at the wheel.

Good to hear Shirl's back mate.
Sounds like you two boys had a good day in the comparison runs :thumbsup:.
Tony,you'll have to take mine out next time I see you so you can see the difference with mine being standard.

Sounds like a plan mate. Roy says he'll be back before too long as well.

Well this is a bit of a shock cos he didn't tell me the camera was on (wouldn't have talked his ears off had I known):rolleyes:. Didn't want to get out of the drivers seat but it does show me that all my views on the Z4 were ill founded so let's just say a Z is a Z is a Z, great cars even though they're differant in a nice kinda way just like the M3s over the years the first gets us all going and the rest have to take the knocks in comparison, but again I'll founded. Nuff said.:bored:.........:thumbsup:
Tony you could have warned me.=))..................Tw@;)

The 260mile round trip was started at 0710 with me winding the Z up to the limit every opertunaty liking the new way it picks up its skirts and really gets a wiggle on literally with the ASC off, rest of the traffic on the M1-A421must of thought I'd done a bank job,( just waiting for the postman now to bring me the bad news) but when entering the A1 decided to see if the rolling road operator was right when he said you'll get very low twenty's or even highbteens if you continuously boot it but given some help with your right foot you could even keep up with the faster traffic and still get low thirty's. Well by the time I reached the A1 it was doing 17.6mpg but on arrival at Tony's it was doing 32.8mpg and still hadn't been overtaken so probably could do even better.
Great day with the Midland Z shed and the bacon,egg,mushroom rolls so big could only manage the one,hope Tony enjoyed my second one at lunch today.( should've brought it home for myself) or laced it with a little laxative.=)).
Great day out for me, thank you Tony and Shirl.

RHA,Roy.:happy:
 
Anytime bud, just wanted to collect some evidence:thumbsup:=))=)).

Tony.
 
Well, I didn't want you telling me what a nice car it is, till you get back with your Z3 buddies, and tell them it's a piece of crap mate.;)=))=))=))

Tony.
 
Just put your vid on again on full volume and the wife came over and said,
"Blimey who the hell is reving the guts out of that poor car, is that you talking in that video"
"Yeh love but it's not me driving ( turning the volume down quickly) you know damn well I'd never treat a motor like that, its that nutter Tony." =))=))
 
Now who's a T**T!!!!=))=))=))

Tony.
 
Bless! To old codgers playing together lol!! Always nice to see @Rha (Roy). He always has a good story to tell. He had me and Jue in stitches last time we saw him!
