Hi Robin
Glad you can join us. Let me know how many for lunch - pub - roastie or bar snack. Yes I remember the run we did in the New Forest, now that was a wet day! Best - Lepe. That was some view (almost touchable) across the sea to the IofW. Let's go there again in this summer for bacon butties...? Plot on 10th. cheers Ci

Arieh + wife coming + white 1.9. A rare colour and nice to see! How about a Siena Red too someone, somewhere?
Hello again. Looking forward to meeting up again and meeting Robin for the first time.
We're not sure about the meal. Whether to just snack or have a main course. Dare we say we'll go with the majority?
I'm very intrigued to hear the full story of your find and history. What state is it in at the moment?

Dorset Z3s and neighbours,
Hi everyone
Due to this freezing weather forecast - ice, snow, sleet etc for the next week - have decided to abort our meeting on Sunday 10 Jan at Compton Abbas airfield. The roads up there will not be gritted (good for the car but bad for ice).
So we'll re-schedule for March. Give me suggestions for convenient dates. Meanwhile keep snug.

Hi there Topaz Z3 and welcome
You'll enjoy this short but action packed drive - with our master 'cruise meister' leading. Yes the sun is on my request list.
Now come on other colours: we have two silvers (mine destined for the crusher in July 09) and all the other cars are blue???

Many thanks

Hi Michael, it's a grass strip and you'd be shot if you tried to out pace a Tiger Moth or Cessna. Ha! At the end of the strip planes rise into the air, Z3s plumet over the edge. Compton Abbas airfield has a lovely cafe and wonderful views from it's hill top position. Come along and enjoy a lovely day.
You should have gone to Santa Pod with the group in September. For £25.00 you could have run up their strip as much as you wanted.
Regards,
Peter.

ha stick and wrong end hey, i fly from shoreham in a da40 tdi, you fly too? never landed on a grass strip yet, not sure the flying company likes there planes landing there, can't see the problem myself but as i'm doing my ppl training don't actually have much say yet.
Missed the Santa pod thing, i half remember seeing it on the day everyone was going.

PPL? I envy you. My brother is ex-tornado now flying FlyBe prop jobs. I envy him as well. However, my Z3 knocks spots off his series one oil burner.
Hope you didn't mind my humour. It's just that the thought of seeing a Z3 tearing down the strip might be a bit too much for some visitors to the airfield.
Peter.

Hi there Chris and others who are interested in this gig. Please see my post above as to what sort of run we are doing (a short one, but filled with 'interesting' driving/things to see I can assure you). Let me know if you are either 'confirmed' as coming (if so do you want lunch at the pub, if you want roast or light baguette or equivalent), or if you are just 'interested' at this stage. I will need to tell the pub a couple of days beforehand. One or two people? See the list above for info. Colour of car and date etc always useful. You don't need to bring anything. Cheers - Ci

Well folks it seems that 'blue' is colour of the day so far - six. With two silvers, two blacks and one WHITE. All in a sea of rolling green hills and valleys.
Oh and they do a good breakfast up there at the airfield, if anyone is interested, from 9.30...

Hey Chrome1,
Did you go to Gaydon last year? If so, think the missus and I were next to you. Iris had the Z3 with pearl leather and you had the tastey Alpina Z4.
We were the Topaz Z3 - you might of guessed !!!
Look forward to catching up with you both, although I think we have no chance with your Alpina !!!
Regards Dave.
