| Message: | but my usual nic name is 'Dennis'! I remember when the Z3 was launched, caused quite a buzz in BMW circles! I had a good matey working at BMW UK head office in Bracknell in the IT dept. The thing there was that cars would be 'given' to depts. to test out and then passed along etc, the IT dept got first dibs on the Z3. I remember cruising around in my then 87 318i (slightly modified) and seeing a Z3 zip by me and just enough time to see my mate, so i turned my motor round and chased him! Talked to him and had a good look at it! he wouldn't let me drive it though! bar steward!!! He also had one of the first ZM3's and M Coupe's as well a little while later! I also worked for the security company that looked after the BMW HQ and spent about 4 or 5 fill in shifts there. Got to sit in the Yellow 850i they had on display at the time but the VERY BEST bit was... being able to access all areas for security purposes and looking into the parts warehouse.. Brand Spanking new Alpina COMPLETE engines! AC Schnitzer complete Engines and all the various bits! One time I had my 95 525i Sport and some of the workers said it looked nice which made me smile no end! Another place the security company looks after is McLaren over in Woking, I had the fortune of being there for a weekend! now that place is simply PHENOMENAL ! i was based over at the satellite warehouses, not their new Paragon HQ (although I was once asked to cover a shift there but couldnt make it !) in the place i was, there was bits of F1 racing cars lying around like litter! 3 body pieces of the 2004 Mclaren D Coulthard car just on the floor, I jokingly said to a staff member, can i clear out this rubbish please? he goes yeh, just drop 40 GRAND into our account and you can have it ! I was asked not to take my mobile phone with me, but i did sneak it in, thing is though, 2-3 years ago camera phones were a bit crap so the pix aren't clear at all! Anyway, going back to yer post, just stick the interior on eBay! there's not much traffic on Roadfly for UK people, they seem to go to some of the (in my opinion inferior) UK BMW boards... Cheers! Dennis! West London UK! - Currently on 2001 Volvo V40 Diesel, 2001 Subaru WRX & 2003 Ford F150 Harley Davidson Anniversay Edition power! | ||||
