A beautiful place, especially before the holidays starts.
About sheep: I think from time to time they want/ like to feel solid ground, not only the gras.
Equal for horses and mules...

Thanks, just brilliant to drive after down sizing to the new 16inch wheel & new tyres. Where we live in rural France we see more cows & sheep than humans everyday!

Nice weather for sure it's-25c here right now but it's stopped snowing so not so bad. Also there's hardly any wind which helps, JIM
Well Jim, that's freezing, every year here in Southwest France it seems to get warmer. Only about 10days below 0c this winter, sun,20c+ forecast for this week. Absolutely love driving the Z3 (3.0i),after downsizing to the original size wheels & new tyres. Now it doesn't tram line & it handles superbly. Hopefully out in the MGA this week, have just fitted new carpets and heat/sound insulation to it (lot of heat through bulk head & wooden floors)
So will be interesting to see if this has helped.
When are you hoping to get out in your Z3?

Zed is looking great. I wish we had weather like that. I can not wait for the sunny days to arrive
I don't anticipate getting out for at least a month or so! March is a crap shoot month where I live and we can get cold Arctic air one day and literally be above zero the next. We usually get major blizzards happening in March every year so unable to predict anything in advance. Had a blizzard in the west part of the province that dumped over 30" of snow in 24 hrs but I''m in the eastern side so only got a few inches of snow. JIM
Hi, White is the only thing the Z3 & the sheep have in common.
Will be out in the Z3 every day this week as the forecast is amazing. 20c +
I read on this & another forum that the 3.0i use oil? Changed mine when I got the car, have done 2000miles since & it hasn't used a drop. Maybe I'm lucky?
I'm absolutely loving driving it, the sound of that engine and the amazing torque and 30mpg min, one could not want for a better sports car( In my humble opinion)

Just to update my previous post about the blizzard @Howard. The tail end of the blizzard hit our far north and dropped over 60" of snow but threw in winds of 180kmph causing drifts over nine feet high. They put out a state of emergency call and people were stranded for a couple of days and even the train that services the city shut down so no food supplies made it through and they had to do emergency drops to replenish supplies! Glad it missed where I live!! Enjoy your plus twenty days I'll be thinking and dreaming of them!! JIM
