Hi again Nolan as you mentioned North Devon take a look at @La_vida_diver West Country cruise March this year. A very memorable experience with z's from all different areas.
Another event that has ran for two years.

Also @bruce&kim are also in your area.

Yeah, looks like a great turn out. Been flicking through a few of the different meets. Think i'll need to buy another Z so the wife and kids can come too. Might be allowed out more then... lol

Nifty as @La_vida_diver is such an expert at these bushes !!
I was not able to attend the attend that day.
I also have a big problem with the bushes on my drivers seat, I could do with finding out how to rectify, I've been told the seats weigh a ton =)) maybe I need to higher a crane lol

Im Nolan from South Devon, UK, and just joined Zroadster. I bought my 1st Z3 in June and love it to bits. It's a 1997 2.8 with 123000 miles on the clock in Atlanta Blue and we have lots of plans together (if my wife and kids allow). Just had a new roof fitted, not planned but the window cracked and the stitching was not too clever. I have been nosing at quite a few threads on here over the last few months and realised how much valuable information can be sourced from others with a love for Z's.

Welcome Nolan from the other side of the pond. You have a beautiful car! I am going through the same problem as you. I tried to replace the rear zip in window but the stitching is too old and I decided to get a new top. I have a Boston green '96 Z3. It had a black top, but I bought a beige replacement for about $250. They want $450 to install it. Ouch! People keep telling me to do it myself but I don't have a garage. Well, we'll see. Glad to have with the forum. Frankie

Hi Rev, thanks very much. If that's your Z8 in the picture then yours looks so much better! One day maybe...

Cheers Bonzo, I feel very lucky as this is my favourite (so far) of the colour schemes and one turned up at the right time just 5 miles from my door. A few weeks after getting her a man knocked on my door to give me the matching tonneau as he no longer had need for it.. :joyful:

Welcome from the Apple Island, Tasmania Australia. It's starting to warm up here and I get to go to work every day with the top down, and sometimes I return home like that as well at 0100 in the morning! Just thought I would throw that in to rob you of some of the envy comments! :) You have a nice looking car.

Thanks Mike & Sandy, great to be here. Certainly replaces the old repetitive Facebook. I'll see how receptive everyone is when I start moaning about my issue's (Z3 related, not personal! )....

Hey Cooper, not jealous at all:mad:! I'm trying to figure out if I can run a 2kw heat lamp off my car battery and mount it on top of the wind deflector. :cool:

Hi Frankie. Sorry I seemed to have missed replying to your post, how rude! Not intentional, I promise. I payed someone to sort mine as being the roof and lots of money, wanted it done properly. I paid just short of £700 all in but the value of the car with broken roof compared to the value with new roof makes it money well spent. Also get that schoolboy crush feeling again and keep peering out from behind the curtains. Not sure my better half agrees but I might get a few days peace and quiet, lol. (Hope she doesn't see this!)
