Ever driven in Italy, WCA?
You could be driving a Veyron and you'll still get overtaken on the winding hill roads by Fiats, 'peds, School buses, ridiculous Piaggio delivery vans etc.
All Italians drive like they're immortal, while us Brits tend to drive as if we actually value our life and limbs when there's a thousand feet of feck all ahead of the next hairpin. Present company excepted of course... 
Got to agree about the silver though, it just works on any car imho.

You'd have to be to go Ape (aah-pay) racing without those castors!!!
Looks like a UK based event. One of these maybe?
They were imported at one stage by Stewart Halstead (TVR, Reliant, Ligier, etc)
but never really took off - except maybe over one of those 1000 ft drops.

Quite possibly, does the NHS use Italian donors for blood transfusions?

Jemima Claxon is on record as saying that speed does NOT kill. It's the coming to a sudden halt that does that.

Would've ultimately handled better if he'd put a 1.9 in though...

Help! Does anyone out there know of a company that will make me some custom round domed resin badges?
There are loads of people on ebay selling these type of badges but they all seem to be re-sellers not makers.
I used to have a chap that did them but lost his email address.

We have noticed recently that the prices of 2.8's and 3.0 Z3's have been high. Some of our customers have had to pay £2000 and more for a donor. This was worrying as we wanted to build a new Kobra demonstrator and needed a good cheap donor as its 'dead' money sat around in a car. I trawled all the sites I could find and they all were very expensive. Then I found the one on Autotrader of all places. I now have a 1 previous owner, full BMW service history with many extras widebody 2.8 manual in cosmos black, stunning condition and faultless to drive for £1450! Two bonuses, its a widebody and the private plate is perfect. The bargains are still out there is you look. We should get back at least £1000 on the old parts so a cheap good donor. Dont give up, keep searching.

What colour is the dash etc? I cant tell by the pics.
I think the interior of this kobra on ebay really lets it down...
Cheap car though

Hi
Yes that one is not the best it could be. I have some plans to change it. You will see it at Stoneleigh. It will be much better than the red one. No Z4 bits...yuk.
