Hi all. I’ve stumbled across this Facebook group where people help kids who can’t afford fancy car hire for proms. Folk do prom rides for free where they choose to help out. Currently the group has a lot of Mustangs so a few more Z’s are needed to balance things a bit. The group is...

I’ve ordered my ticket for the last “German Car Night” of the year at Caffeine and Machine which is taking place on Wednesday 21st December. I went to this one last year and it was a nice chilled evening with some lovely cars attending throughout the evening. Last year I enjoyed their Christmas...

This years classic is well underway so I started a thread for peoples pics and updates.

With having no events to go to this year I’ve scratched my petrolhead itch by having a few bits done. I’ve gone for a carbon fibre boot lip, carbon fibre splitter and some more colour coded paint inside...

Peoples’ inability to behave themselves during the last few months has led to an abundance of involuntary overtime at work. On the plus side I’ve been able to order a new Carbon fibre splitter and boot lip:thumbsup: The splitter arrived today and will be fitted soon but the boot lip is still in...

Not Zed related but this may ease the boredom of the lockdown for a bit... Some of you know what I do for a living but for those who don’t, I’m part of a specialist team within Derbyshire Constabulary tackling county lines class A drug dealing and other serious crime (firearms, serious violence...

So, due to Voldemort virus I had to trust Mrs Romans to help with the annual lifting of the hardtop... All went well and the hardtop was safely removed and stored away. This meant I had my first chance to test fit the side covers I bought last year from Skyer motorsport. I am delighted to report...

So, after the disappointing news that there is no VanityBMW 2020, Beaulieu motor museum has seen an oportunity and taken it by hosting a replacement show themselves. I'm happy to make arrangements for our (award winning:)) stand. I'll also host the annual camp/BBQ the previous evening too...

Having recently landed a set of brand new side covers, I was worried about keeping them mint condition. As it’s my birthday next week I put in a call to good old mum! She delivered in a big way with some hand-made soft covers to stop them scratching each other in the storage bag. They even...

I parked my daily diesel today with the wheels turned and caught sight of some damage to the inner edge of the tyre. I swapped it on to the spare (which is a bloody space saver:banghead:) as this is clearly dangerous. I had no inclination there were any issues and the wear on the tread seems...

I moved the car out of the garage this week after my visit to Zedfest and saw some oil spots on the floor. It seems to be coming from the front of the engine somewhere below the alternator. Anyone have an idea what the cause (and solution) may be?

driving through Codnor in Derbyshire today I spotted a lovely looking Z3 coming the other way. I was practically on top of it before I realised it was our very own @Bozzy out for a drive. I'll forgive him for not waving back as I was in my diesel daily...which isn't bright orange.

spotted a gem of a Dakar Z3 at the A38 Starbucks island in Derby at about 1615hrs today. VRM Y30 ALL Driver was dressed to match in a yellow T-shirt very similar to the colour of the car! No pic as I was driving. Anyone here?

My E85 Z4 has just failed an MOT for having an issue with a ball joint causing play in the wheel (and also for having worn rear tyres:whistle:). I've spoken to a local Indy BMW specialist about the repair and have been told that to replace a ball joint I need to change the whole swing arm and...

Folks, The Vanity Facebook page is running a little photo comp today. It seems I'm doing quite well in a strong second place which I'm delighted with. That said, the guy in first place has got there by tagging the names of a load of his friends to get "likes". It's turned from photo competition...

Last weekend I took Mrs Romans for a spa break to Conwy, North Wales. We have three kids with @Beemer Boy being the oldest at 10 years and this was our first trip away alone since he came along!!! Of course with there only being two of us the Zed has to come out of hibernation... Making an...

Today I got round to replacing my retrimmed but tired looking alcantara ///M gear knob. Storm Motorwerks V2 in titanium finish should do the job nicely. This knob cost more than my first car!=))

Saw a silver E85 today in Kirk Hallam, Ilkeston. Very distinctive with some custom pinstriping and bronze/orange wheels. Clearly a well looked after car and owned by an enthusiast. Anyone on here?

I've joined the revolution and ordered myself a Christmas present! Storm Motorworks V1 in titanium finish...

Firstly I want to thank @Shelly for the thread and all of you for the birthday love. I just wanted to show you what a friend of mine did me as a gift. He specialises in rendering comic book characters but broke the mould to produce this....
