I hope you guys all have a fantastic time. I can highly recommend Ettington Park. Mrs Roaders and I got married there in March. Katie looked after us for the 18 months it took to organise the wedding and did an absolutely fantastic job looking after all my relatives' complicated requests. I was actu...

I didn't get one

Roaders

Well what a day! We had absolutely AMAZING weather. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, I certainly did. The fantastic weather did unfortunately make the roads quite busy so we did come across quite a bit of traffic and in the second group we had cut the second leg short and just head straight to th...

Roaders

We saw more new Z4s than we could shake a stick at when we went to the factory that makes them in March. We also went to BMW Welt but there were no Z4s there.

They've had a new Z4 at Canary Wharf all this week. It seemed to be attracting some attention.

Roaders

Yup, that's it. The field is the middle of the postcode I think.

See you all tomorrow - hope this weather continues.

Roaders

Great, looks like we'll have a nice collection of cars.

Could I have reg number / phone number, e-mail and real name from Mark / Amelia, Stoned@Home, Mike and Rob13 please as well as confirmation on attendance please.

Everyone think good thoughts for the weather on Sunday

Roaders

Wow, looks like I'll have to pick this game up - been looking for one with an E92 M3 in.

I assume it has the ring as well?

Roaders

No, I now live in London (Wimbledon).

I'm pretty sure it does have a large BMW logo on it yes.

If you want to come and have a look at it at some point you're welcome to.

Roaders

I've got the OEM BMW one that I won't need for much longer. If you want to pick it up I'm sure we could come to some arrangement!

I don't really fancy posting it as it's pretty big and bulky.

Roaders

What's next? :D Current Plan is an M3 :D You are far too well-paid. Gisajob? :D :D Well, Linzi and I both want the car and will be paying for it which makes it a bit more affordable. Of course the more sensible plan is to get a used one - an Ex Demo or something but we wouldn't get the spec we want...

Roaders

Buy one from Halfords......they are quite cheap at the moment..... Shabs......... :wink: :wink: Yes, great idea in theory but I live in a flat and my car lives in an underground car park with no tap. There's not much drainage either so I can't even use a bucket down there. I usually go to the local...

Shabs.....

Errr... no

It's hard where I live - none of the nearby garages have jetwashes!

OY! - it was clean when I set off - not my fault the organiser chose dirty roads to drive on!!

Does anyone know more about the new BMW Welt (BMW World) that they've opened in Germany? When you order a new car you can arrange to pick it up there and get free tours of the factory, museum ect. Sounds like great fun. The site doesn't say anywhere that this is just for German customers or anything...

Roaders

totally agree - it makes me mad!

Only -ve feedback I have got was just because I left -ve.

Sellers should always leave feedback first IMHO.

Roaders

Do we think the car was JUST working from GPS coordinates or sis it know which way to go from GPS and looking where it was going at the same time? If someone had left a car parked on the track would the robot have driven into it at full speed or stopped / tried to avoid it. All the DARPA cars have a...

Nice video

We won't mention the fact that you're not supposed to film at the ring!! (or have they changed that rule).

I can't wait to get back there.

Roaders

New to this, so I'll just come out and ask..... Whats the biggest convoy of Zed's there's been at a U.K event? (I don't just mean gathered, actually driven to)......... and whats the furthest travelled by any convoy of more than 5. Any transcontinental trips?.....I see the "ring" has been...

Roaders

I really like Vista but have downgraded both my Media Center PC in the living room and my desktop for now until it becomes more stable.

I would also stay well clear of AOL and McAffee. As others have commented AVG is a good firewall / anitvirus.

Roaders

Ah yes of course, it could have been you too Simmer! (except I remember beeing there!).

Hvae you kept the plate or what have you done with it?

It's a shame we never got a photo of the 2 next to each other!

Roaders

Whahey!!!! :D The first time I've been spotted :) I drive that route every morning but I'm normally in my partners Golf. I never normally meet any other nice cars in the ///M but in the Golf I see hundreds! (I was behind a Dodge Viper last night in the Golf - I really wished I was in the ///M). I di...

Roaders

Hi All

I've managed to blow a fuse (at least I hope that's all I've done) in my M by dropping a screw in the cigarette lighter!!

Where are the fuses and how easy are they to change? Will it be obvious which one I need to replace?

Thanks

Roaders

I've had a couple of punctures with run flats and have suffered no rim damage. As long as you are sensible when you have a flat then you should be fine.

Roaders

A bit OT but can someone recommend a good valeter in the South East? I had a really good guy in Scotland who would clean my car every now and then but don't know anyone down here. I'm pretty sure my car could do with claying and removval of swirl marks. I have secure undergorund parking where I live...

Roaders

Avoid the scenery.

Roaders

Wow, that is some make over!

To begin with I was wondering why someone would spend all theat monay and not start with an ///M but now I understand why.

Good luck with the racing.

Roaders

If it says that you'l most likely get 3 points you will do I think. The cases where you won't get 3 points are if you already have 9 points and an extra 3 will ban you.

If you had been doing 4 mph more then it might be different.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi All I am about to move this week and we came across Cooper Wimbledon round the corner from our flat. I am very happy with my current dealers and was wondering what people's experiences have been with this dealers. I seem to use my local service department quite a bit so it would be nice to have o...

Hi All I might be having to leave my Z4 at my dads for a few weeks soon and he has a horrible pine tree that sheds all over his Z3 with sticky sap and generally makes a horrible mess. I've decided to invest in a car cover (also handy for when I'm at mums house who has doves that sh!t and land on EVE...

Roaders

It's not that ideal that with only 10,000 miles on the clock I was faced with a £1,000+ bill for tyres!!! However in the end I think I got quite a good deal. I took the car in because the original rears were getting quite low - down to about 3mm and I had a slwo puncture in the front nearside. Of co...

Roaders

Yes I was thinking that we would have seen the support vehicles but had possibly gone another way (unlikely) or they had not left yet and had gone to a hotel or were waiting somewhere else to set off. There aren't that many roads from JoG and I think there's a good chance they would have taken the o...

Roaders

We probably passed them going the other way but didn't notice them - we'll have to look out for a line of zeds going the other way when it starts on TV!

Roaders

Yeah, we were told that we'd just missed him too.

Thing is if we'd caught him up when we stop following him? I suppose it would have been quite cool to arrive in South Africa with him!!!

If only we were at JoG about an hour earlier:

Very sorry to hear that, I feel your pain.

Luckily when it happened to me I "only" had a pretty old un-impressive Golf but at the time it was till my pride and joy!

Great pictures people, I especially like yours with the little story John Boy.

I'll probably get mine up at the weekend.

Then I'll upload my pictures

Spokey - any chance of the video appearing on a site somewhere? I can host it for you if that's a problem.
