I had a Boxster S from new the year it came out when I lived in the UK, a 2000 model, one of the first in the UK and drove it everyday to and from work (70 mile round trip) and drove it as much as possible, when I sold it I had done around 36,000 trouble free miles, not the slightest problem and...

Mason's post about the first sports car got me thinking about my first time as a passenger in a performance car and no doubt where my love of sports cars started. I was probably 15 years old and was driven home with some mates in Ford Escort RS Turbo on some country roads at night and compared...

Mk 1 golf GTi campaign edition, loved that car and was sad to see it go

I meant to stop and take pics but I'm really crap when it comes to taking photos and always kick myself for not taking any :headbang: Speed wise, the autobahn was quite busy in the afternoon so 200 km/h was about as much as I could get to before I had to slow down, on top of this my car was...

it was great fun thanks, in total the travelling days to and from Germany was around 6, we spent 5 days in the south of Germany around the Black Forest and headed back, about 11 days in total. I wish we had more time in each place to see more but couldn't. I really recommend doing one of these...

hi all, Just my thoughts after my first really long trip in the Zed. I started in Marbella (extreme south of Spain), went to Toledo, onto Madrid, then to San Sebastian in the extreme North of Spain, over to France, stopped in Bordeaux, onto Germany where I had a nice blast on the Autobahn, got...

I finally have a working roof again after more trials and tribulations than anyone could imagine. My roof stopped working automatically and in the end the roof frame was snapped on both sides which meant completely replacing the roof frame. The stealers wanted in excess of 5,000 euros. In the...

Glad you guys enjoyed it too. It has to be one of the most entertaining shows they've come up with to date.

It was just insane all round, the bit where they are 17,000 feet up and can't breathe and are taking viagras pills to stop themselves getting enemas. Who would have ever thought a beaten up old Range Rover could actually do all that extreme stuff. Also Hammonds car, no clutch, prop shaft...

The one with them driving across central America in the old 4x4's. I have to say it's probably one of the best TG's I've seen. The bit where Clarkson was on the edge of the drop and the other 4x4 was trying to squeeze by, that was hair raising. Normally I'm envious but this time round I was...

Thanks for that, very helpful. I've had a quick look and some of the part numbers are different but I'm wondering if it's just newer (improved / modified) for the later model. As far as the problem goes, long and painful story. In Sept 07 I opened the roof on a nice sunny day, it opened as...

hi guys, Quick question to see if anybody can help. I need to replace my complete roof / electronics / hydraulics etc for my 2003 Z4, I have found a breakers yard that has a complete roof with all bits from a 2006 model, does anyone know if the newer roof would fit in my car? Thanks in advance

Hi Sniry, The guy got back to me today, unfortunately he doesn't have a Satnav.

No such thing here as far as I know, before I shopped around they wanted over 3,200 euros for fully comp. I did manage to get it down to 1200 with a 450 excess and a lot of discount by shopping around. There is one good thing though. The insurance adjuster came around, inspected my car and made...

Hi sniry, no problem, I'll ask him when he gets back to me with the shipping prices. I assume you are looking for the pop up sat nav screen / system? Hi denzo, I did think about going the insurance route, the problem is two fold, insurance is very expensive here and they'll just cane me on my...
