Santa Claus in August

[mktommo]

This is to perhaps the most surprising act of generosity I've had in years. I'd driven the Z3 to a friend's house looking for a little help with a stuck screw on the 3rd brake light, but generally kicking tyres and enjoying the sun.

A woman in a little red Hyundai i10 pulled up and enquired whether I had a tonneau. I replied (a little confused) 'no I haven't but I'm after one'. She smiled and informed me that she's had a Z3 years ago, sold it because of grandkids and asked if I wanted her old tonneau.

Less than 10 mins later she turned back up in the same red Hyundai and took out a tonneau, handed it me and (despite me trying to force the meagre £35 I had in wallet) drove off refusing to accept anything.

The result is attached and my faith in human kind took a massive step forward.......

Nice one. I was propositioned by a woman in red once and I think it cost me around £35

 

[Althulas]

Nice one

 

[hard top]

Nice one, but I would have took your £35 and the car...

Great come back. Any chance you have her number

[Shelly]

Wow what a result
You must of been in the right place at the right time
Lucky you

That's funny, I had mine nicked a few days ago. The neighbours said there was a suspicious looking woman lurking around in a red car.....

What, she stole your toneau cover and left a note offering to swap it for a wind blocker ???

Tony.

Hehe, has @BMBabe got a red car too!!!!!

Not sure what colour the Fiesta is TBH, but surely she would come in disguise?

So that's how she gets photo's in other people's Zed's, sneaks up in a Fiesta which nobody notices.

And here it is all cleaned up and in place. Makes a real difference to the way my zed looks. Lots more to do but I'm very happy with my free gift and thanks again to the mysterious Red Hyundai woman in Milton Keynes on Sunday!

PS - car stored in garage at the moment due to wet weather and a hole where the high level brake light was - new one (that actually works) should be in place very soon

The tonneau just completes the look doesn't it. I love the look and can't wait to get mine over here so I can put it on the car finally. Gotta love generous people such as the lady that gave this away!! JIM
