Nice car Vixi, I had a Boston green Z3 before, a great car to show a lovely shine, and yours looks good.

Boston Green is a great colour to show the depth of shine. I had a similar Z3 with identical colours, it always looked good after a polish. I did find that it showed up the stone chips quite easily though.

Thank you for your comments :lol:
Yes Green does polish up nice , I have booked her in for a full service and to get the tracking checked , I dont know if she drives as well as my last one , or if im imagining it .
I also notice that one tyre is a diff make to the others , so once the other stuff has been done , I will see how she feels then, and think about putting four new tyres all round the same :lol:

I was driving her in the wet yesterday and did not feel as confident as I did in my old one , I had an MX5 before and manage to spin out the back a few times, but my old Zed I never did , but this one reminded me of the MX5 , I think I will be happier once my garage has checked her over .. i HOPE :roll:

Its a bugger to keep clean :evil:

But I managed to get my green mats out of my old Zed and my Stereo yesterday before they auctioned her on a salvage site

The car was in London previously and inside was a black layer ingrained all over the interior took me a whole day to gete it off

Lovely car, Vixi. It's not Boston though, its Oxford Green II.

Your Zed looks great and the cream interior really compliments the lovely green colour. What polish did you use to get a shine like that. I'm off to Halfords on Sat. to get some polish, so it would be handy to know what you used.

I think its tops of the weekend all round 8-) 8-) 8-)

But she needs another wash she is filthy all ready Grrrrrrr

Got her balanced today it was out and has made a difference , plus I had a puncture :head: also the guys noticed the lower arm rear bush bottom ball joint is of
So popped to my garage and they are going to do it when they do the service , Hence why she feels a bit wobbly when braking

I can feel the money pit opening up already :bawl:

Vixi, are you by any chance, related to whiteminks on here? Sisters perhaps? Besides the love of cats, she has a similarly huge bunch of keys - how you drive with that lot clanking against your knee, I really don't know! :lol:

Tidy looking zed by the way. 8-)

Cheers R.
