It says " introduce yourself"...... What more can I say the title preceeds me.

Compared to my old man I can guarantee I will offer 0% information on bmw but a high chance I'll make you smile!!

For those who was able to attend t-tonys funeral today, I appreciate you making it there. I didn't get the chance to speak to you today as I had alot of catching up to do with friends and family. But myself, my sister Abz and my mum Shirl appreciate the ones that could make it and the ones that took a moment to think about the old man. We've read all your kind words since his untimely passing and it fills of ours heart with love. It speaks volumes of what he brought to the Zorg community. I can guarantee I will bring you nothing but questions...... for example how do I change the radio station on this recently acquired Z4 I have...... not a clue how to lower the roof yet either.🤣😂

Once again sincerely, we all appreciated all the kind loving words spoken about t-tony, whether it be you knew him from the Z Shed meets, the drives around Lincolnshire or just his input on this here forum. It fills us with love knowing as a community the regard you held him at!

Thank you🩵💙🩵

Welcome Gary and how pleasing to see you on here. You all did your dad proud yesterday and it was a honour to be a small part of the celebration of his life. Looking forward to seeing you and the Zed, hopefully get your Mum along to some of our events?

Hi Gary, I did speak with you briefly yesterday, I'm the one ugly one with the shaved head, white goatee and glasses, and spent most of the service balling my eyes out! His send off was fantastic, the weather gods were well and truely on side. We are over at your mums tomorrow afternoon for an hour after weve done the first recce run for the memorial cruise. As for changing the radio station, hit some buttons! Your Dad would roll his eyes at that comment 😂

Welcome Gary - I'm sorry I was unable to make yesterday as I had hoped to bring up the rear as usual.
Pleased that Tonys car is staying, wouldnt seem right for it not to - oh and dont worry about questions .

As for the roof a tin opener works wonders ;) :cool:

Welcome to the forum Gary.
I never met your Dad in person but we spoke many times over the past 10yrs or so. I came up to Lincoln last year to see my son at RAF Digby and tried to arrange to meet Tony then, but alas your Mom had whisked him away to USA. His passing has hit us hard, God Bless your family ♥

Hi again Gary, I did say hello yesterday, parked next to you in the blue E89 at Doddington. Don't be embarrassed about the radio, I've had mine a year and still can't work the flaming thing. Needlessly complicated like most new tech!!

Welcome to the Forum Gary, look forward to you being able to post questions with your quest for knowledge on the Z4. I never met your Dad but I always thought we were on the same wavelength in our numerous posts/conversations on this Forum, he will be really missed by Forum members.

Welcome to the forum, really sorry to hear about the circumstances. Don't worry about the lack of knowledge , I for one am a complete muppet about anything mechanical but like pretty much everyone else on the forum just love the cars as your Dad clearly did.

Hi Gary, if you don’t know how it works, take it apart and put it back together again. It may not help you understand the problem but at least you’ll know how it works. If not ask Grumps, he’ll know.

Hi Gary, and welcome from me in Cardiff. The kind messages and fantastic turnout for his funeral are testament to your dad’s standing here on the forum and in life. He will be sadly missed. Looking forward to meeting you in October.

Hi Gary and :welcome: to the forum from me too. I spent a lot of time with your Dad in his garage both during his ZedShed meets and also solo. We have met but it's a few years ago but will see you in October. Really sorry we couldn't be at your Dad's funeral [your Mum knows why] but by the sounds of it he had a great send off.

Moi? 😂 I saw Gary yesterday while visiting Shirl, he was showing us his camper conversion he'd been doing with his Dad. Clearly Gary is much more skilled than I Mike! 😂

I'm sure you could convert a camper into something - maybe an artistic pile of bits ? :cool:
