Oooh, Sienna Red with Style 42 split rims

Welcome!

Style 42 split rims!!! Keep taking. I love what I'm hearing.
Also has many components from the "Sport Edition". "M" style seats, upgraded wheels, illuminated shifter.
It's 3 different cars in one. Hard top, rag top, no top. Whoo Hoo!
I think I need a helmet.

Hi there @Panhandler lovely car you've been grabbed by! Never made it that far north in Florida yet but there are some great hilly bits near Clermont around the 27. We have a place in Kissimmee and come to Florida a couple of times a year. Enjoy your new find and keep smiling

Tony.

Thanks Tony. Yes I have been through the Clermont area many times. Watch out for the Troopers and the County Mounties.
If you ever get over to the Fort Walton Beach area, you will find the "other" Florida. Less people, less traffic (not none though) and lot's of twisty back roads up to Alabama.
Come visit the farm in Defuniak Springs..
Cheers

We're hoping to spread our wings, so to speak, when I retire from work and we're able to spend more time in Kissimmee. Would be very nice to visit you, thank you for the invitation. Only downside is that we will probably be in a Mustang!!

Well Andy, opinions vary widely. Didn't quite make it to jets, but I did end up flying AH-1's (Cobra Helicopter) for the US Army for a while. Only stayed 8 years, the Army has a way of taking the fun out of things..

Nice one, a serious piece of kit that, very rarely any dramas from the Rotary guys

Good Morning Zroadster Peeps,

Glad to have found this website. Just took possession of my Sienna Red Z3 this past weekend. Perhaps I should say, the Z3 has taken possession of me. OK, I'm not really possessed, but this Zed is the most bestest car I have ever been in. If I wasn't so happy when I am driving this car, I would feel bad that it took me so long to get one. But this oversight is in the rear view now.

Most of Florida is a boring drive with long straight-aways, but View attachment 49241 , here in the Panhandle of NW FLA, we have some terrain relief and many winding roads with delicious curves to feed the appetite of my Zed.

I would be interested in hearing about beneficial mods I might like to consider or any efficiency, or performance upgrades for the 2.8L.

Be sure to "Save the Wave".

Cheers
