Interesting debate. I have to confess to still carrying the space saver spare AND a few bottles of jollop. Luggage is an issue for sure, as is the likely price of emergency tyres on the continent. I do carry a compressor when I go abroad into the bargain. My M3 csl had the mobility kit and the only ...

Sounds like a good idea Jamal. I am intending to do Fred's French weekend in May and also have another weekend earlier than that where I am away. I'm also in Le Mans for my birthday this year and we go on the family jolly in August. I'm trying to keep thinks cheap ish this year on account of all of ...

Missed thiscompletely owing to boring work stuff and the need to earn a damn living

Hello Paul ! Long time no speak. I trust you are well?

I still love my 3.0csl but the Z1 infection is progressing well........

sfh3l

Fred,

Just in case the message I have just sent (still sitting in my 'Outbox') does not get to you - yes please, send me the form to:

samlever@thinkpositive.co.uk

Many thanks for organising this again. If it is anything like the last two it will be fantastic.

sfh3l

I like it Paul - very M3 CSL.....

17's look best IMHO. There, that should start of a healthy debate for the New Year! (I would remind everone that I run standard 16's before they shoot the messenger)

sfh3l

Tony, Happy New Year to you and all Z-lovers! Yes, I shall be at the 24 Heures. Not sure which car yet, but it will be German, sporty and 'Z1 or older'. Most likely Z1 as she was a little left out last year, but I'm also planning Fred's French odessy in May and so might go in the old Pork Chop inste...

Hey Darren,

Saw you at Silverstone on Sunday. I was walking through the main gate as you drove through and over the bridge. That 458 looks and sounds delicious......... I also saw the car later, parked behind the old paddock, buy didn't spot you.

Hope you had a good day or weekend.

sfh3l

Jet - excellent pictures. You have an eye for the photo and obviously have the brass-neck to get your car into those places for long enough to get the snap too!
The car almost looks Dream Black in some of those lights.

sfh3l

Yes - watch your speed!

The black beetles are a lot more cunning than plod over here - they carry guns and they can impound your car.

Watch in particular the 70kmh limit in villages and built up areas. Enjoy France - it is a beautiful country to drive in.

sfh3l

Mine is always ready for action - what would I do on those sunny winter's days?

sfh3l

Dear Fred, Fantastic! We will b there (x2). I agree with GG re the baggage in the Z1, but there we are. At this moment, I'm thinking of a tour running from Wednesday to Wednesday or something along those lines as we spoilt the Dordogne one last year by trying to get down there and back too quickly. ...

sfh3l

I half expected to see the camera pan backward to see that idiot Clarkson, but it would seem there is another twit out there who doesn't appreciate good motors!
What muppets !

sfh3l

Agreed Jet. Have duster, but insufficient readies

Nice opportunity for someone, but you'd always feel as if you were ruinning its investment potential. Much better to buy one thats been driven a bit.

sfh3l

Just thought I would say how nice it was to see Jet, Ivor, Bindy, Roger, Linda and Darren yesterday at Gaydon. What a sight the line of Z1's made!

Well done everyone and sorry I was already committed to the old(er)timer brigade.

sfh3l

You have obviously checked the weather forecast for rain before deciding on the CSL ! TJS I am afraid I committed to that car long before the weekend looked wet. After the de-rusting work that I had done over the winter I suppose it is entirely inkeeping that the 2 main occasions when I had used th...

sfh3l

Hey Jet,

I shall be there, but in the old 3.0 csl (all being well as it is not exactly going according to plan since spending all that money on the rebuild

)

I'll make sure that I come and catch up wth you guys though.

Hope you all have a good run up / down on Sunday.

sfh3l

Hey Fred, It is good to hear from you and good to see that you are thinking of your Z1 again :D We thoroughly enjoyed your tours of the Loire and also the Dordogne, so would be very interested in this new one you propose. I know that I cannot make the early part of May and also will for sure be goin...

I also wanted to thank Roger for cranking it over until it started! Well done Roger, your persistence delivered a great result.

I'm a bit late onto this topic (bless me father, for it is a long time since my last confession!). I rate Hagerty very highlyand I can't understand why they quoted you such a high premium. I insure all of my 'Classics' on one policy, with decent agreed values and the obvious limited mileages (mostly...

Tony, I've always used the Renovo one. It is easy to apply as Jet says and can very easily be wiped off for us non-Picasso types. The finish is very subtle too, with the hood looking nice but not as if it has been painted with something alien. That said, it's time I got a new hood I guess. In the me...

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday at the Super Sausage. I'll probably have my Dad riding shotgun as Catherine has deserted me for most of the weekend :( I am afraid that I shan't be up for the Sunday cruise though, as I am going to be abck at the circuit, early doors displaying the o...

sfh3l

I still don't get why the door won't open with 'juts' a flat bettery though. Sure, it won't motor down like it should, but the unlocking of the door is entirely manual and driven by what you do with the key in the lock and then the releasing of the door from the latch similarly manual and motivated ...

sfh3l

I think that the boot hinge might be well enough earthed, but I'm more worried about what you are planning to connect the positive to: If it is a trickle charger then that might be OK if the positive circuit that you are connecting to is connected even when the ignition is off, which I guess it must...

Please register me and my Dream Black Z1 for the event. I have just bought the tickets, so now it's official!
Many thanks.

sfh3l

There's an open invitation to Z1's to meet here if you fancy beforehand? Depending on timings, we can lay on bacon sarnies and other kosher nibbles before making our way to the circuit. Admittedly we are on the south side, but only 5 minutes away I guess....... I am about to buy my tickets and will ...

I was surprised though, that this is ...

Welcome back Andy.

We've all been in suspended animation so it will be nice to be all back together again. All we need now is Paul Finer and it will be as if nothing changed at all!

sfh3l

Only limitation with this one is that you'd ideally want one with a removable knob

Don't mean to be smutty, but it means the car is effectively immobilised as well, wich can't be a bad thing?

sfh3l

Tony,

My fuel costs are, sadly, never very low

sfh3l

Ouch!

I'd say that was some kind of external fire that the poor Z1 happened to be caught up in..... Not much of any significance that can catch at the back end otherwise.

And a Magic Violet car too. How rare is a Magic Violet hard-top for goodness sake?

sfh3l

I agree re the seats - mine look better than that and they have had my @rse on them for a lot more miles than this guy claims! Dosen't it look horible on those Alpina's? Of all the aftermarket wheels to grace the Z1 those are not my favourites. Let's see what it goes for. If it sells well it could b...

Re the door opening, it is simple: Make sure that it is unlocker (key as usual) and just push the door button right in. You'll hear the loud 'clunk' as the mechanical lock disengages and the door should mover very slightly downward under its own weight, but stop there (motor and belt resistance). Ge...

Tony, The Le Mans Classic is definitely a 'must see' event as far as I am concerned and I have been to all but the first one. I shall be there this year too, but not in the Z1 (probably the 3.0 CSL, but possibly there with my 'new best friend' an old 911). Either way it is a fantastic event and a gr...

The title says it all really!
I trust that 2012 will bring you all health, happiness and prosperity.
And some z-based enjoyment of course

Best wishes.

I like your balanced response RT, to the twaddle that most people write about these cars. What a load of rubbish honestly! Most of that comes from Mr Clarkson, who said that the most interesting thing about the car was that you could see women's knickers when they got into it. Ok, that is an attract...

That's a sad little car. I would not have fancied being in it too much

That's really sad news John. I didn't know Bernie too well, but he always struck me as a really nice bloke.

Terry,

Yo're only ever as old as you feel behind the wheel of the Z1 mate!

sfh3l

Back to the Jag - yes, very nice indeed. I can't help thinking though that a Series 1 3.8 Coupe would do the trick so much better and would be w hole lot less contrived.

I LOVE the Z8, but if it were a choice between one of those and a 507 there would be no contest:
