'Still Looking Good!

The Positive!

24.04.22 This afternoon has been forecast rain and I was looking for an excuse and couldn't find one. The oil needed changing and it wasn't going to do it on it's own, so up to the garage...

The New Year 2026 - it is now 9 years on with my Z3 Daily Driver and it is still going well.
This year the Z3 needs be driven. With changes in Government legislation many of us are uncertain on how long we will have our freedoms to be able to drive our classics without the ongoing abuse from politicians, but we can only guess and see what develops!
Let us hope that this year the British people have something positive to experience and share, instead of the usual exploitation we seem to constantly get. Yes I know, I said this last year, hope is all we have...

01.01.26 -

Jobs I can think of that may need to get done this year:
*3. Rewire internal Fuse boxes - (1 Panel remaining)
*7. Sill paintwork may require a rubdown rust treatment and touch-up?
*8. General Fluid, Service? (including oil change)
*17. The A/C could do with a complete top-up

I remember this as a kid in the 60s and 70s and I have managed to find a reproduction metal plate to remind me of those days of joyful motoring.

I am looking for the Dunlop Groundhog keyring or other memorabilia, just in case I get a garage to call my own...

Dunlop Groundhog 1969
