Hi Mark and a big to the Forum from Southport, your car looks brilliant!

Hi Mark, and welcome from me in Cardiff.

Hi and welcome

 

[FRANKIE]

Hello everybody.

I bought my Z3 2.8 auto back in August 2010, and really haven't done many miles in it since then. It had 85,000 on then and has 87,500 on now. My DIY skills are basic, and over the last eight years all I've done to her is the oil and filter change a couple of times, fitted Chrome rollover hoops, cleaned and painted the spare wheel carrier and fixed a corroded wing mirror base. My very low mileage in the Z over this time is due to the fact that for most of the time I have been working outside the country.

Am retired now, and hope to devote more time this year to my Z and becoming more active in this forum and the Z community. I signed up to zroadster.org in 2014, and read an excellent article on then on how to do the wing mirror stem refurbishment.
I really should have introduced myself back then .. apologies for not doing so!!

Over the last few days I have returned to the forums here, and read with great interest the project update threads and have become quite hooked! I am in awe at the wealth of knowledge here and the skill set of so many members.

I will be rolling out my Z and doing the seat rail bushes and fitting a new thermostat in the coming weeks. (I've noticed the temperature gauge never moves very far, although she seems to run alright otherwise).
I will post a couple of pictures of my car ( as it was on the day I bought it in August 2010) I thought it was beautiful then, and I still think the same now! I love the curves of the widebody 1998 car.

Hope to meet some of you at meetings later on this year.


Mark

Welcome to the forum from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. I always liked the Boston Green as it was my first Z. Just sold it last August to a woman in up state New York not too far from Niagara Falls. Still have my ///M. I had replaced the black top on the Boston Green with a Beige one and loved the result...............Frankie

[mktommo]

Hi @stackwadd and great to hear from you - I'm a member in Bletchley and from time to time go to some of the drive outs - @BMBabe is great at organising stuff but I've been awful at going regularly.....

We are in the process of relocating to the south west so may not actually get to see you but enjoy the Z3 and its great to have another active MK member. Photo of mine attached

so we can look out for each other!

Hi mktommo

Thanks for the message. Your car looks great and I'll be watching out for it. I hope all goes well with your move to the south-west.
