BMW Z1 Book now available to view online

Post by benslick »

Hey guys,

Well it's finally compleated! This BMW Z1 book took nearly one year to produce and was created to safe guard my wonderful collection of BMW Z1 photographs and create a Z1 book unlike any other. It is a light hearted celebration of the BMW Z1's 20th anniversary. It is meant as a gift to all BMW Z1 drivers which is why you can view the whole book online and can also buy it at the following link..

All the best,

Ben

Just bought my copy of your book, well done amazing, it must have been hard work - BUT if you have enough pictures to fill 430 pages of a book dedicated to the Z1 - please don't invite me around to look through your family album.

Great and again well done!!!! 8-) 8-)

Perhaps for that cold and wet Sunday afternoon when your Z is stuck inside the garage...

Looks good. Next time (!) send it to me - happy to help. A lawyer's eye is trained to spot typos in other people's prose!

Typos

Post by benslick »

High guys, there are some typos in the book which I'm very dissapointed about! However it should not spoil your viewing pleasure for those who have already purchased the book.

Typos or not, I have just been looking at the preview and your book is absolutely stunning.
Well done. I will be saving up the very devalued :oops: New Zealand dollars for a quite while in order to purchase. The book is a credit to the cars and their owners.
No NZ number plates there I notice! ! ! lol

Hello

Post by benslick »

Hey mate,

I have found a Z1 owner in NZ but did not give me pics of his car!
He lives in the North East, a place called Hikurangi, Northland, New Zealand. He does not take it out of the garage much and is quite private!

Still, you do have a Z1 or two based in New Zealand!

all the best,

Ben..

Dont worry about the typing errors. Always look on the bright side in years to come it will be like the 20 pence piece without a date THE ONE TO HAVE :lol:

PS- Looks like Germany has adopted the matt black/grey/white and carbon wrap at the Frankfurt Motorshow
