Hi All!
I thought it was long overdue that I introduce myself on here - after all the annoying 'bumps' of my wtb hardtop thread.
I'm David (obviously), and a few months back I picked up a lovely Z4 3.0si Sport (obviously!)
I was in the market for a Z4C, but as soon as the sun started to show it's face again, I realised just how much I was missing the drop-top of my old Z3 (Scarlett - a rather 'individual' looking specimen! Project thread: https://zroadster.org/threads/david-scarletts-project-thread.8108/ )
I bought Beatrice with 24k on the clock, and that has now already risen to 26k, as she is my DD (hence why I'm looking for a HT).
Here's a pic, as is, when I bought her:
I ordered a ZHP gearknob, which arrived the day before I collected her. This came along with me when I collected the car, and was fitted immediately!
In the first week of ownership, the passenger window regulator went kerrrrghhhrchhhccchhggghhh and therefore needed replacing.
Also in the first week of ownership, I bought and fitted new alloys and rubber all round. (What I like to call) 'David Logic' told me that because the previous owner had fitted mismatched tyres on front/back - instead of replacing just the tyres, I should buy ALL NEW EVERYTHING!!
...'David Logic' is great at times like that, and can often justify ANY extra expense.
Here's a pic when fitted with the new wheels and rubber (3SDM 18x8.5/9.5 and Dunlop SportMaxx):
Next was the Scoop-that-must-not-be-named replica:
...And a set of Machine Monkey's tips as I'm still undecided about whether to go for a SS exhaust system:
Finally (for now), I purchased my first private registration to fit to Beatrice (DSR are my intials), and the (road legal!) pressed metal plates are a lovely finishing touch:
That's it for now I think, hopefully see you around!
