Great pic Andrew - I'll save that for future greetings 😉

Who'd have thought these things could be so desirable? I had amassed quite a collection of mail dealership keyrings over the years, with all the cars I have purchased. So rather than throw them away, I put them on Ebay - and so far nearly all have gone - for anywhere between £2 and £8..! I reckon I've made over £30 profit this last two weeks - result 🙂

......And a little light rock music to get us into the Christmas spirit..... 😉

Congratulations Gary...! Julia and I wish you all the best in your new home mate 😎

The 300zx Owners' Club Committee would like to thank the membership for your support during 2023, and we wish you ALL and your families a Very Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2024.

As Andrew says, H3 or H3C for the low beam, depending on UK/J-spec. However I wouldn't be so sure that after-market LED bulbs will give a better beam than stock.... I have fitted H3 LED bulbs in my fog lamps to use as daytime running lights. Sure, they are bright when you look at them, but I wouldn't want to rely on them to light the road ahead 😉 Better to leave in your HIDs and find a more friendly MOT tester - I've had my HIDs in since 2009 and never had an issue at MOT-time!

Very nice Rob - I like that a lot...!!!

.....And upon doing some research, only the small diesel engine C-classes (c180d and c200d) have the Renault engine. The C200 petrol has a Mercedes engine (code m264), coupled to their own 9G-tronic auto box!

I would imagine so Steve - you mentioned that before - it's probably only the larger engines that are still MB's own.

The a5 is indeed a nice looking car - but it's still an Audi LOL!!

Not exactly.... 😉 BMW uses an accident management company, which claims everything from the at-fault party - so they didn't have full control as to what I was given. The dealership simply helped with the logistics, the car hire company had no BMWs available, so I had the choice of this or an Audi A5. And I could not bring myself to become an Audi driver, even for a week or so LOL 😄

The other evening, some daft twunt managed to hit my Z4.... It was parked in my office parking space - this idiot was being chased by the police and managed to scrape the near side front end, when he pulled over😪 The police didn't do much, they just made him leave a note - which the driver then removed after the police left the scene. He even had the balls to return and try to polish out the damage he caused!!! Luckily I have CCTV at work, so I captured the whole thing on camera. And a very helpful witness saw it happen, he waited for me to come out of work to tell me - otherwise I might have driven home without realising. The idiot who hit my car had a change of heart the next day and posted his contact info though our letterbox - he offered to pay for the damage, to avoid going through his insurance. Until, that is, I told him the car was being repaired at BMW - and they insisted on replacing the front bumper, because "it would never look the same" if they attempted a repair. Budget about £2500... 😉 My local BMW dealer has been brilliant - they got everything agreed with the third party's insurers, all I had to do was drop off my car and pick up the loan vehicle. No excess or charges to pay, and minimal inconvenience to me. The courtesy car isn't bad - albeit a little underpowered, despite having 198 BHP. Then it's only a 184 BPH 1.6 with a 14 BHP hybrid set up; the economy is crap too, it barely manages 30mpg on a 200 mile round trip to Bath yesterday... My 3.0 turbo Z4 would have achieved at least 34 on the same journey! IMO, these little, downsized, electrified motors are not all they're cracked up to be - if a bigger, more powerful engines are more efficient. On longer journeys anyway 😉

Yup - what Andrew said!!! Hope you get it fixed without finding too much other damage mate.....

Most likely the answer mate 😉

Happy birthday Gary - hope you have a great day sir!!! All the best, Richard & Julia🎂🍻

Many happy returns Jeff......!

A sad loss at only 65 - RIP Shane 😞

To all our members north of the border - have a great St Andrew's Day!!

Many happy returns mate - hope you have a great day!!

Yup - sorry mate, I have no idea on the Irish system either...... And as for ordering parts, you still can't go wrong with czp or Z1, wherever you live 😉

Yup - what Gary said.... 😉
