Just checked the UKGSER site ... car now sold.

Pictures now posted on the GS website, it's a dark metalic green and looks to be an absolute peach.

Must be someone after a goodun

"THE CAR HAS JUST UNDERGONE A FULL SERVICE (A FULL ROW OF GREEN BLOCKS ON THE SERVICE INDICATOR)" On checking his Ebay history would you believe he purchased a BMW Service Indicator Light reset tool in February. Probably nothing remotely suspicious there. :? Anyway, back in October of last...

Hi Jon, This seems to be a regular problem. If you put "window sticking" into the site search you're bound to find lots of advice. It seems to be a case of removing the door card, a bit of WD40 on the moving bits, then silicon oil down the runners and put it all back together. I've done mi...

Morning Guys ... had the same problem with mine and took it to a local body shop for some advice. They fixed it in seconds! Pop the bonnet, gently loosen the securing bolts, and with mine the bonnet popped up on it's own. I would suggest gently loosening the side where the problem is and see if the ...

Have you missed a trick by not taking in the Gorge Du Tarn and the Milleau Bridge

Same sort of distance, just a slightly different route through the south of France, would be rude not to!

Have a great time whatever you do

Have acted on the advice received - thanks to Mr Silver and Macca - and purchased the bolts from ebay. However, thinking I would need 4 bolts for each seat I ordered 2 packs. Having read the advice again I now guess I only need 2 extention bolts per seat so will have 4 left over ... :dunce: If this ...

Hi Ktg ... your own experience with the later seats is really useful. It tends to suggest that rushing into the expense of changing the existing seats may not make too much difference. Raising the seat height beyond the norm by adding washers seems worth a look so may give that a go. Thanks a lot fo...

Thanks guys, by older seat I mean the square stitched base as opposed to the shaped base with the slight rise between the legs, which I now assume is the sports seat. Raising the seat height beyond the existing adjustment sounds like a good idea, I may have to give that a try. Trying a car with the ...

Have a 2001 2.2 Z3 with the older leather seats. Have done a couple of trips to France but would like to have a run down to Switzerland and take in a couple of the passes. Problem is ... my wife finds the current seats uncomfortable :roll: I can see what she means, but feel its just the seatng posit...

I have a 2.2 ... great little car, but ... if I were looking for something of this ilk that I could also throw around a track I would have to look seriously at the Honda S2000.

OK ... I'm off to the dog house!

Nick,

Thank you for your efforts. Great run out, and nice to meet some of the other guys on here.

Also enjoyed the "play" up zig-zag hill

Sunday pub lunch/run in August maybe?!

Thanks again.

I think jonttt has got it spot on. In the circumstances I would also have my doubts about that mileage, that needs some looking into and verification. Be very careful, there are a lot of good and well cared for cars out there. You don't want the love of your life to turn out to be a dog. (Have I jus...

Nick ... Can you please promote me to the premier "coming" division.

Greg, thanks for the help, I owe you a beer

Greg, sounds like great advice, thanks for that. :wink: How long do you think it would take, allowing for the usual stops etc., and would you have a preference for clockwise or anti? Again thanks for the advice. I did a couple of passes 2 years ago but that was on 2 wheels - have since swapped the b...

Hi Mike, am looking at doing much the same thing this time next year, have found what looks like a nice Hotel in Lauterbrunnen - close to Grindelwald. Was also planning a days run taking in the same 3 passes - was this a comfortable days run, allowing for stops etc., and which way round would you sa...

Don't know if this is of any interest to anyone. Just bought one myself as off to France for a few days next month :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-MINI-1-LITRE-TOP-UP-OIL-POUCH-WITH-VELCRO-FIXING_W0QQitemZ350188214660QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item350188214660&_trksid...

Hi MrLuke, Although I don't believe there is a specific offence to cover those circs I would suggest a potential offence of Driving without Due Care and Attention and/or Not Being in Proper Control of your Vehicle. General rule of thumb ... Do you think the Police might stop you if they caught you d...

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, very kind. Have just got back from a few hours topless motoring down to the seaside and just made it back in time! Amazed to see there is still snow laying about.

Hi Wendy, Don't know if this thread is of any interest to you ... http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19609 ... It reads that he didn't sell on Ebay and the reserve was £3,000. Its a 2 litre, history, good looking car and just serviced. Might be worth a look :shrug Anyway, welcome from an...

Hi Bluecar, have a sister in law in Weymouth, so a distinct possibility.

Thanks for the replies guys. jonttt ... I have passed your comments onto my wife - looks like I'm going to be seeing a bit more of my car tonight, as I'm sleeping in the garage :D whiteminks ... thanks for the comments, we have two British Shorthairs, so good to see a bit of feline admiration going ...

Hi to all, and congrats on a great site. Recently (a few months ago :roll: ) aquired a 2001 2.2 in the usual silver. Seems to have most of the options bar the heated seats - which at my age is probably no bad thing as a warm sensation in the seat of your pants usually means incontinence. Purchased t...

Hi Mike,

Was pondering a run down there in the Autumn and after a bit of research had picked this place out ...

Hope this is of some use.
