You're all lucky. I have to pay nearly 900 quid on a classic policy despite being over 30, having donkey's years worth of NCB, restricted mileage and garaging. It's all because, would you believe, I work and live in Moscow and therefore I am tax resident in Russia rather than the UK. It seems that u...

Asking doesn't work? You are welcome to borrow the top for pics. Wouldn't have been possible previously as my Z's actually spent the whole year garaged at my mother's in Suffolk but, since taking my Alfa to Moscow, I need a car again in London so I took it back down there last time I was over 10 day...

I just wish the rear heated window on mine would work (must be a connection issue)! The earth is on the handbrake screw, the live on the green wire on the ignition.

I didnt have any fittings, I thought we could just plonk it on top, secure the front and drive, but clearly I was wrong, as I didnt take into account the 2 spikes that stick out at each corner, where just resting it against the leather left an imprint. But replicas can be fabricated I have been inf...

Not sure if I will spray it as I don't use it much except for long journeys.
Mine has a charcoal flock lining.

From a BMW main dealer it does seem a good deal. I paid 16.5k for mine two years ago. That was for an H-reg car with 50k in good condition from Munich Legends who aren't remotely cheap either. Yes, but you have a Hardtop! True but ML had two in stock at the time, both stickered at 16,995. The other...

There are two (one red, one green) for sale on Autotrader - both are low-mileage and have been on sale for ages (particularly the one at the Pug dealer in Yarmouth which I think they've had for well over a year) so the sellers ought to be amenable to some sort of deal, especially now winter is appro...

How strange. I have to say, that although I put beam converters on my RHD Alfa here, because the Z1 is LHD anyway, I've never bothered altering the lights when I've taken the Z1 abroad on the basis that it hopefully won't occur to policeman to check which way the lights point on a LHD car and that t...

I'll add some input to this discussion. Since I have a car with an optional hard top, I can't vouch for the truth of this statement but I was told that if you want a car with the optional hard top, don't buy a car without a hard top and then start looking for a spare hard top. There are special mou...

That Boxster is gross. The driver must have been seriously traumatised. A couple of years ago a big wood pigeon flew straight into my windscreen at 110mph on the back straight at Bedford Autodrome. I was in an Audi S3 and I'll never know how, but the windscreen didn't even crack. There was an almigh...

Hi Racing Teatray, I am in your last but one photo, standing on the wall, which is where I took the last photos. Thankfully not needed, so it was quite uneventful (the way I like it). I sometimes wish I could sit where you are and enjoy it, as opposed to standing for the whole race. :cry: It's a sm...

These were doing laps of the GP circuit at Monaco before and after qualifying - a yellow roadster and pair of GTs in burgundy and a sort of matt grey-green. They also had a stand with a silver GT and a black Roadster on it. Went and had a really good poke around but had filled the memory card on my ...

Righto - here are some photos from the GP. Not the finest race I've ever watched since everyone (by and large) finished where they started and the obvious team orders from McLaren were disappointing if understandable. In the apartment where I watch the race, the majority of people (being Italians) a...

Re: Monaco
It might be Senna , he posted pics of himself working at Monaco GP last year and his Zed One is blue though possibly not that dark I was there, WORKING again, but did not drive. Hoping to next month as the whole event is quite tiring from Wednesday to Sunday. The Orange CGT was a Techart. My photos...

It looked great in the metal - I wouldn't have dreamt of comparing it to a TT in any event, firearm-wielding meatheads notwithstanding! Exhaust looks like an afterburner. You hear a lot about it looking quite small and it does, but it was still noticeably longer than the 997 Turbo parked in front of...

Veyron! (with pics)
Ok not a BMW but finally yesterday I saw my first Veyron over lunch in Beaulieu harbour. We were just dribbling over a beautiful English-registered DB6 Volante which was disgorging several gorgeous smartie-smuggling ladies by our table when a loud "vrrrumph" heralded the arrival of a Swiss...

Here it is magnified - definitely black. Unfortunately by the time I went down to have a look the following day it had vanished, along with the Roller and the Porsche. Had to be satisfied with the English-registered 575 Maranello, gold Maybach and Italian DB9 parked in their place. http://i16.photob...

Proof that Z1s can be found in all the best places
Proof that Z1s can be found in all the best places: spotted this one (the dark shape behind the RR Phantom and in front of the orange Carrera GT) nestling among the super-yachts at the Monaco GP on Sunday. Shame the zoom on my camera isn't better. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/RacingTeatray/...
