Somehow I never have my Z4C when the other North East Z4Cs come out to play :(
At least my E30 managed to sneak into the back of the photo !
I’ll make an effort to pop down to the next champs meet. So hopefully we can get a group photo with more than two together :thumbsup:
Sounds good. I'll bring mine if I can get all the sensors pointed in the same direction for more than 5 minutes !

Mr PT - that was me visiting some old friends - you saw it just before we set off for home and then had a water pump failure between MK and Bedford! This is how the afternoon ended! :headbang:

No way!!! So sorry to hear that. I hope you got home ok and get the pump sorted without too much expense or faff. It does seem to be the one major weak point of the N52 and is quite common, now that there a lot of high mileage cars about.

Still looks pretty good though, even on the trailer. :D

Few weeks back now at the Orbital Park Near Swindon, don't often frequent those parts, but was visiting my family and looking for a wedding suit... came back to my car and it had made friends with a khaki roofed e85!!

I spoke to the guy and asked if was on the forum..he wasn't. Hadn't even heard of the forum..so I told him a little about it....I actually thought it was my old Z4..mine was same colour combo and an smg with nav. Had different seats in though.
