Very glad to the the forum back. The withdrawal symptoms were getting serious - I had the shakes and had to resort to drinking fizzy to steady my nerves! :D

Well done Tim. If you want a hand to fix the remaining bits, then please drop me a line and I'll be glad to help out.

Cheers R.

Great that the site is back, although in the ensuing weeks, I have replaced the Zed....

But the one question is, who said no to the poll above, if so, why is he/she even looking.........

Welcome back Zroadster. You were badly missed. Conor was having serious withdrawal symptons. He even went and bought an s50///Mroadster. He is waiting while I write this piece in Stranraer bringing Hamish, his new car home.

But everyone responsible for this forum, great, great news you are back.

Really glad that zroadster's back - it went down just when i needed to look up a few things. Weeks of "if only I could look at zroadster I'd know the answer" so it might be a late night tonight.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting it back for us to enjoy.

Glad it's back. Thanks to Tim or whoever. Don't dig the grey colour scheme though. At 1st I thought it must be due to the de bugging not complete !

I expect the story and pics of the S50 will be here soon under a new thread then Connor, except I can't seem to find it (or was the ferry crossing that bad in yesterdays weather?).

so glad to see that we are back in business, there's nothing quite like roadster to fill the void :D
just when i had saved all my hard earned for some mods to the old girl (no not mrs SRVZ3) then all seemed lost, so my tame spanner man will fit the bits next week, full set of powerflex bushes and new zimmermann grooved discs and pagid pads, cant wait.
:P
thanks to all for getting everything sorted out :D

As it should be Gaz.

I have missed coming online everyday to have nosey around the forum, but considering I've been stuck in to decorating/smashing down walls/fitting carpets in my new pad, I haven't had much time to do any surfing at all.

Good to see it back. I hope everyone has been keeping occupied and had good luck in what they have done in the past few weeks.

Missed the site and posts from all you nice people. BIG UPS. to the great mates who managed to get us rolling again. Makes you realise how much it means. Didn't find any other site with as much attitude and passion as ours while the site was down. Keep up the good vibes. And Happy Z-ing

Glad to see it sorted, i went on pistonheads and started a zroadster thread but it only got used for a couple of days.

Since the hijack i have sold my z4 and replaced it with a porsche 964 (911) 1991 Carrera 2.

Still been checking the site every other day to see if it was fixed.

Will still pop on from time to time.
