Was the car moving? If not then I'd stick a note on the windscreen. If so, then you may have to follow it home (always wanted to do that to a random car, but never got round to it)....

That's why the sum of all senses is the answer

But not if you're not that keen on the looks - sum of all senses minus sight?

Yep, you said it Spokey - the handling!

I do quite like the fact the top sits nicely when it's down, but it should have bits that pop up at the side automatically to fill the gaps (like another car I've seen - possibly a Porche, but can't remember).

Unless they get rid of the +/- 10% error for speedos and +/-2 mph on top of that then people are always going to be ok doing about 10 mph over the speed limit on a motorway. That said I think that 75 mph (or maybe 80 mph) would be ok for the limit as then you'd be "safe" from being stopped...

Still not managed to talk to John about this one, but should get our names down quick before there's no space left.

Will try to speak to him later on today...

Finance Control Department here! He's usually pretty good you know, but still has the cheek to complain at the odd purchase I REALLY want that he just can't see the need for... all boils down to different priorities!

I think we lost three. We had a nice set with the Z3 logo on them, but they didn't last long - one was left behind as it was on so tightly! We heard later that you should only use those when you're showing the car or you're asking for them to be stolen. Ah well, some people obviously have more time ...

The first (and only) thing we changed on our silver 2.2i sport was the grills to chrome lined ones - looks so much smarter. We picked up the parts quite cheaply (then sold the old ones on this board).

Has JohnM been in touch? If not then we may be able to help. Do you want to send more details as I've not read the original thread I'm afraid.

Hmm, have they improved the interior enough for you yet Larri? Or maybe your next set of mods could be leather seats, etc.

So did the reg. plate come with her then, or has Giles hung onto that one?

Didn't I just say that?...

You should have a word with NewReg.Com if you have already bought it. They have it listed for sale @ £1445 :lol: looks like you got a good deal, and they are trying to sell things they dont have ?? This is quite common I believe - lots of places advertise plates at a price they believe they can get...

We could pick some up for you and bring them back in September (coming over for the Yorks Cruise). JohnM posted a message offering this service to people recently - you may be able to find the right post somewhere.

Hey, we've got another " support " and " sandwich " car for the lakes! Is there room for the tow-rope Giles? :D :D With weight obviously at such a premium (or more the lack of weight) in that car, I'm not sure even Larri will be allowed in it while Giles is driving, let alone sa...

Oh, I thought it might have been that the picture was taken before Charlotte got her latest number plate.

Strangely enough, your number plate is blanked out (quite neatly in fact!) in your signature, Giles....

Would love to go, but maybe will save it for next year, in case we've saved up enough to buy another Z out here by then.

May be able to make the above dates though, but 18th / 19th might suit my overall plans better...

Unless some kind sole may be able to arrange a Z for us to take to Homecoming through his contacts (nudge, nudge, wink, wink Tim????!!!)

Thought you were going for the weekend of the 18th/19th? May be able to make the above dates though, but 18th / 19th might suit my overall plans better...

Clean so far! Have had a few times (more recently) where I've thought a speed camera has got me, but nothing has turned up in the post. Sometimes it could have been the sun reflecting on something that's made me think it was a flash. I do try to stick to within the "tolerance" limits of 10...

...surely you must be tempted by that one! Maybe you could knock the price down at little and then have another test drive (where you won't be put off by the garish interior)

I agree with all that's been said - all very useful to put into a guide on Cruise organising. I especially agree with Giles' last post re. the day being balanced as this is particularly important for the passengers. Having a slightly longer stop in the afternoon around afternoon tea time (4pmish) is...
