Nice pic of The Mount Edgecumbe ferry Stage there. One of my lunch time jogging routes from work was through Royal William yard and up thought steps on the left.
Oh and the Coupe looks passable too.

I agree, you’ve bought the wrong car if you don’t look back at it as you walk away
The only problem with that BuzyG is that Fredej lives in Sweden (where I was born ) and where very soon they will have snow on the ground for 5 - 6 months and will all be driving around on 'dubbdack' studded tyres...not the best conditions for your pride and joy Z4
I see, yes that must make a difference to the decision making process.patriot66 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 10:54 pmThe only problem with that BuzyG is that Fredej lives in Sweden (where I was born ) and where very soon they will have snow on the ground for 5 - 6 months and will all be driving around on 'dubbdack' studded tyres...not the best conditions for your pride and joy Z4
Those crisp, dry and sunny days with no salt on the roads are sadly very few during the winter months here in Gothenburg. And the cost of keeping it taxed and insured are fairly high, so while tempting, it will be in hibernation during winter.buzyg wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 11:08 pmI see, yes that must make a difference to the decision making process.patriot66 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 10:54 pmThe only problem with that BuzyG is that Fredej lives in Sweden (where I was born ) and where very soon they will have snow on the ground for 5 - 6 months and will all be driving around on 'dubbdack' studded tyres...not the best conditions for your pride and joy Z4
You definitely don't want to be driving your Z4 in salty slush. That's a shortcut to corrosionfredej wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 1:34 pmThose crisp, dry and sunny days with no salt on the roads are sadly very few during the winter months here in Gothenburg.

From the condition of the underside of the car I don’t think it has ever been used over the winter.
In the Gothenburg area it is more rain, slush and ice than actually snow. And these road conditions gets treated with salt. That is the main reason I want keep the Z4 off the roads during winter.
It is mandatory to have winter tyres in Sweden during December to April. With proper tyres I don’t think it would much of a problem to drive a Z4 during winter unless there is really deep snow.
