Dealer Visit - Sytner Sheffield - Sunday, 11th oct

Nick Wright · Post by **Nick Wright** » Mon 28 Sep, 2009 19:55

Having offered much support by way of tombola and Prize Draw prizes for our concours at Chatsworth we have now confirmed an Open morning for us at SYTNER SHEFFIELD from 10.00am till lunchtime.
They shall have some new models available for viewing and (poss) some test drives, guided tour of the workshop where they will have a couple of technicians if anyone wishes to have their cars inspected, and visit to their AWARD winning bodyshop. They will also put on some light refreshments.
The management and our contact Glen Slater- Parts manager have been keen to get more involved with the car club so a good turnout would be much appreciated from both sides.

This can be followed by an afternoon drive into the Peak District with a late lunch somewhere nice.

Please PM me if you want to come - name and car details please.

C_W sounds good, assuming its Liverpool - Manchester M62 and then either via M60 leeds and A1(M) or M60 Stockport/glossop (much more fun) then I'm on the M6/M62 junction at Winwick so could meet anywhere on those routes.

My brother may come along in his Z4m as well.

Typical - almost on my doorstep except that SWDZ4 has arranged for us to visit our son in Edinburgh that weekend

Will also probably have to go in the Citroen so I can take tools, etc as his car is due a service

Thats a shame Zed carer, sounds like plenty of free coffee on tap

Have a good trip

Count me in guys, looking forward to this one.

johnwayne · Post by **johnwayne** » Wed 30 Sep, 2009 15:11

Hi-talk about coals to Newcastle !! After 25 years at this dealership I pretty well know every oil-slick. Great bunch of guys and facilities.
BUT-parking can be horrendous so be prepared

Would love to visit again and meet up with you again, following the meet at Harewood-so count me in.

Is there a run into the Peak District planned? -weather permitting should be a great day out. See you there [/img]

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Wed 30 Sep, 2009 15:13

John, you may have reason to keep that hard top on, sorry I missed you at Harewood but would be good to see those wheels of yours

This is a BMW club meet so should be plenty of non Z's there as well and hopefully some sort of run into the Peaks (its on my way home so will be driving them twice

)

Will put you down as confirmed

Canman · Post by **Canman** » Sat 10 Oct, 2009 21:43

hi, just a reminder any local guys and gals about tomorrow morning. just pm Nick Wright if you fancy coming. i think there's a few coming and you get to see jontt's zed , which im looking forward too. be nice to meet some of you

kind of hoping to test drive the new Z4 too

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Sat 10 Oct, 2009 22:59

Oh the pressure

I'm looking forward to the drive over, weather looks pretty good for tomorrow so heated seats on, roof down

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Sun 11 Oct, 2009 16:36

Very enjoyable meet.

good to see JohnWayne and Aceman again and to meet Canman (and his mate who needs converting from a TT

). Of course the Zed's were the first to arrive

but was a good turnout of BMW's. Just the right number of people to create an atmosphere but not too many to be overcrowded.

Sytner really put some effort in, bringing in extra staff to show us around, laying on food and refreshments and showing everyone around their facilities.

Thanks for inviting us Nick

I didn't really take any pics of the meet itself but did get one of JohnWaynes gorgeous S50 as they gave a free inspection on the ramp (and it wasn't just becuase John worked there for over 20 years, they offered it to anyone

)

I didn't manage to make the Peak District drive afterwards as I'd arranged to go over to Doncaster first but the sun came out and some top down motoring was in order in the afternoon

aceman · Post by **aceman** » Sun 11 Oct, 2009 18:08

Once again thanks to Nick for inviting us it was a great day despite me not making it for the afternoons drive. Sytner certainly put in an impressive show and felt every bit of the family they portraid, if I lived closer I would use them and to finish the day off for me I go and win the top raffle prize a BMW ///M T-shirt.

ALM · Post by **ALM** » Sun 11 Oct, 2009 18:18

The silver M looks fantastic. What wheels are on that car?

Canman · Post by **Canman** » Sun 11 Oct, 2009 18:35

many thanks to Nick for inviting us and thanks to Sytner for putting on the hospitality.

Desiro · Post by **Desiro** » Sun 11 Oct, 2009 18:54

johnwaynes M looks fantastic even with the hard top fitted

Think I will put mine on now.

It's a real shame I could'nt make especially when I only live around the corner. Unfortunately we had to attend a wedding in York Saturday and stayed overnight.

it sounds like you all had a great day.

ALM, they are Hartge, John got them second hand and they are superb (jammy or what

)

Canman, Your well on your way to making that Z of yours a keeper I can tell, keep us posted with your winter projects

(I'll put a bet on what your lads first car will be

)

You're all more than welcome. I'm glad some of you came along and enjoyed it.

Hi,just to echo all the comments from the lads,really good meet and nice to see all the local guys. Jonttt's S54 looks even better in the flesh and he should be well chuffed with his efforts. It was good of the club to invite us and thanks to Nick and the others who helped on the day.

100GRA · Post by **100GRA** » Tue 13 Oct, 2009 11:02

Yes, thanks for your efforts in getting the day organised, Nick.

As johnwayne will confirm, I was probably the longest-standing Sytner Sheffield customer on parade on Sunday. I bought my first brand new 320 (the first of six on the trot) in March 1979. In fact, I still haven't got out of the habit of calling it Hallamshire Motor Company.

I was otherwise occupied during lunchtime/afternoon. Did you all have a good drive out into Derbyshire? Did I hear something about a photoshoot at Great Hucklow? It would be good to see the results.

johnwayne · Post by **johnwayne** » Tue 13 Oct, 2009 17:49

Hi 100GRA (Graham) I too was unable to join the others on the run throgh Derbyshire but was able to take a few snaps today on the local moors. Unbelievably I spotted a Z3 Roadster in Arctic silver with hardtop and many shnitzer extras. Hope pics come out o/k-enjoy!

John, you breeding them?
