Hello all
I'm a new Z3 owner and new to the forum. Just wanted to say hi.
Myself and my partner (Tasha X) also own a 750i and are members of the 7 series forum, in case you might have seen us at shows with them
We just picked up a 2000 individual z3 in mora red and are hoping to get it up to show standard - it's due a good clean this weekend and we're going to fit a new rear windscreen (any hints and tips gratefully accepted!)
Hope to meet some of you soon
Claire

Looks like a bit of a pig of a job, but certainly doable!
Welcome Claire and Tasha.

SNAP Nice to know that there is another one out there.
What engine is it? Is it 2litre like ours?
Try using photobucket to upload some pics.
Welcome to the forum, would be good to be able to park alongside a twin on a cruise. It would be nice not to be quite so individual now and again

Hi welcome on board.
Rear windscreen is pretty easy, first one you do just take your time and have a spare pair of hands, should take less than an hour.
Its one of those jobs once you've done it once you'll do it in less than 30 min next time and say its easy
ps I would get an OEM one from your local dealer and not be tempted by one of the ebay jobbies. I've never seen a non OEM one thats as good a fit in the flesh depsite plenty of people claiming they are (if your a BMWCC member don't forget your discount )
Re posting pics on threads here are some instructions:
http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7658
Again dead easy really, the principle is the pics are not saved on the forum servers but on any photo hosting server and you just post the [img] links in your thread which pulls up the pic from the photo server

Mora Red Metallic
Hi Bexcalbens wrote:Yay another Mora!
Welcome to the forum & hope to meet you both at a cruise sometime soon

Wow! Three in one day We were beginning to think that we were the only ones and ours is a W Reg too
A bit like London buses, you can wait ages, then three come along all at once
We wondered if there are any Mora out there!!

Good to hear that we are not quite so much in the minority now.
Too right, a great colour on a great car!

Thanks, I'll look into that. My other half still has family in Glasgow, and I've got some in Chester so I don't have to look far to find the roots!freds dad wrote:If you visit Scotland like most Americans seem to do to either play golf or find their roots you could try these folk

Hi Claire X
Talk about Deja Vu, we have a picture just like the first, except ours isn't quite as shiney owing to the fact that it is covered in Steam Engine Soot from the Masterpiece in the background
We have yet to find a colour that is so 'Individual' the title suits the car perfectly.
Hope to maybe see you at the June ZFest next year. are you going? should be good fun
