Next time I see him, I'll borrow one for you.
Exchange for one Gaffel at £2.50 a bottle...?!
Likewise mate, it has been years. Miss those times of Gopher, Nath et al!
Those weren't too bad. They were £4 each...!
That is true...
Could be Sherman...

Hindhead tunnel? Only has one purpose at weekends, tunnel runs!
Believe so chap, yes. Might have to pootle down myself soon.
I think they suit the Coupe, not the Roadster. I really like the ApexArc8 wheels... a more squared off CSL...
More parts ordered...
Yearned after this part for months. Saw it on the forum when I first bought my car and noted mine didn't have an Aux plug. Spoke to @Rob about it and decided, as it appeared these were no longer made, I might have to do some drilling and position the input underneath the dash for tidiness reasons. This does away with that need and nicely links the position of my phone holder and direction of my 12V plug socket/charger, with an OEM part. Should be an easy fit part as well;
And then something again more from forum hype... an F10 M5 illuminated gear knob. Small, thicker, been in a forum guys car with it fitted and hated the feel of mine on the journey back from Putney. Easy switch around and doesn't lose the illuminated function.
Z4 on the left, M5 on the right. I'll just be swapping over the knobs, rather than the full "better leather" gaitor, as no-one has perfected the fit so far... a la;
After this, I think it'll be Aero Skirts and that's it. New brakes will be on order early next year, dependent on driving. In the meantime, it's just roof down enjoyment!

Haha, yeah you do!
Stood looking at a parked one exactly the same as yours today. God I want one so badly.
OEM feature!
Lol. Group buy likely to go ahead. I've already got a decent amount off from the stealers.
I still love it. And dad does too. Useable power, great sound, soft top which in the current weather is just brilliant!
Miss mine so bad and it was only the 4 banger. When my shares mature in a few years I'm going to get another. Probably the 3.0l though, the M costs would scare me I think...

This thread has made me look at Z4M's and Boxsters again. FFS.
Also, what is it with CSer's and gfs called Sarah? We all have them lol.

Is the gaitor not part of the gear knob, as per the e46? As much as I liked the standard illumination, ditched it for a stormwerks knob. Big improvement, the weight of the knob makes a surprising difference.

Ha!!

@Cub. @Sir_Dave cool club points :wink:
@BIFCAIDS thanks Mike but I'm all good buddy! Hope you're well?
@ForceIndia the F10 is attached with three tabs that you remove - the new knob is much Waitey'er than the standard by all accounts and believe, from people who have done it, it's just pull off and replace (cue the TIDL black eye thread post...).
Gearknob turned up and parted it from the gaitor. Colleague in the US is coming over with the Aux input in his suitcase so that'll arrive just in time for a week on my lonesome week on Monday...

Loving the illuminated. Wish I'd gone for it sort of. Not sure. Maybe.
Steak you say?

Plan! Different place. The actual steak wasn't great.
Yeah I wanted a more weighted, shorter knob but oem+. No point going zhp as for nearly the same cost you then have to mod it to keep the illumination.
@TheEvilGiraffe is after my old one. Unsure whether you could give him yours and you can have this illuminated one? Is it wired for it?
