My New Roadster

[Sean d]

Upgrade...
Its more fun than just cleaning and waxing a 20 year old car that no one else is really that bothered that it's a bog standard Z3.

Love the term "Bog standard", did you know that it derives from mechano, they did a box standard and a box delux, the term dogs b*******s also came from this, dox belux

@Sean d yep, I have heard that before as well but always thought it was started as a joke?
Hope I am wrong though ....

Good to see you back in a zed Tracey! A very nice one too.

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Great news Tracey. Back in a Zed where you belong. I'd go for some subtle mods to start with, Like a supercharger, rear spoiler and 19" wheels. Welcome back mate.

I agree Phil, and see you both at the "Swan" next September?

Hope the next two weeks goes quick for you then mate. Take care. Where was the car located?

Tony.

The Scottish Borders, 120 miles North of me.

That's good then mate. Not a "coastal" car which has been well salted. Have fun with it.

Tony.

That sounds like a plan.

Nice looking car you’ve found there. A great platform whichever way you want to take it

 

[TrevD66]

Well done with the new purchase..... I hope you are well on the mend and the discomfort from your ribs is gone soon.

Great colour choice Tracy .
A rare find with such low mileage.

Steve.

No a superb colour choice !!

 

[Wilko58]

Just given it a wash, looks a lot better but revealed a few bits that need attention (still a bargain!).

How do you find the single vanos compared to the twin?

Only driven it off the trailer so far
I'll let you when it's on the road proper.

Low mileage good examples are hard to find and will get harder to find. I took mine back to original whilst fixing any issues i found a long the way. But it depends on how long you want to keep it?
