Dudes & Dudettes--Sorry for the delay in responding to this request (I guess I was locked away in the basement so missed this post :))

These were taken when the car was still in the UK...Enjoy!

Nah...just lucky. I think it was Mark Twain who said "...the harder I work, the luckier I seem to get..."

BTW, love your stable of BMW's, too!

:wow: I don't think I've ever seen a z1 before. The doors go down into the side skirt?!? :wow:

Hey Budget,
Just poking around reading sundry threads (as you do) and came across your beautiul Z1. Wow, what an awsome looking machine.
I never knew the doors tucked away like that. Is it legal to drive with them down ??

Yes it is a nice tow-er . . .

I have done over 350 miles one-way, multiple trips, no issues in towing at interstate speed with brakes, wind, wiggle, or power / torque / transmission on hills (no mountains in my hood). I am considering a enclosed trailer some day, but for now, U-haul prices ($50 a day) are hard to beat.

Saw my first Z1 at the BMW museum (grand re-opening last year), that is a sweet ride you have.

Thanks! I drive with the doors down a lot of the time. It makes for some pretty good turbulence inside the cabin, but isn't that what convertibles are for? :cool:

Thanks, Dob...I saw my first Z1 at the original BMW Museum (before they built the BMW Welt) in Munich in 1989. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen and could only imagine owning one some day. When my company sent me to work in London for a year, the planets were in alignment and I knew I would never have another chance. It took me 6 months to find this one (24K original miles). I drove it over there for about 4 months (another 2K miles), then it spent another 6 months in shipment, EPA/DOT testing, and shipment again to me in Arizona. Not easy, nor cheap, but you never remember what it cost when you finally get a car that you really enjoy...:D
