Bugs the size of small bird in FLA
Like I said, Lovebug time of year. When we went to Melbourne on Thursday we drove through bug storms.
Google Love Bugs.

Im not a fan of annoyingly loud exhausts but this was for sale locally and well here we are.
Couldn’t find much information online other than to confirm Scorpion don't make them anymore - it looks like Cobra make one but it's £550.
Anyway will see what the mechanic says the next time I'm down - the seller reckoned it was the dogs (obviously) back in the day and travelled all the way to Truro from Chesterfield to collect it before fitting it on his M44.
Maybe he's right or maybe I've just been hard sold - I guess time will tell but if anyone with first hand experience is willing to step forward it would be much appreciated

I had Scorpion Exhausts on my first Z3M (Pingu's Kit Car)... it did improve the sound !! I changed the oval back end though after time to quad tails just for the M look.
Simply decided to try out an AEM dry high-flow filter, after watching some YT comparisons that measured it to be the highest flowing panel filter.
I have to report that I am surprised of how good it felt driving to work this morning (I assume the sticker gives me +5HP
)
By the way I also opened up the blocked extra airway that our stock headlight air duct has, and leads to behind the fog light. I plan on making a 3D printed cover that allows some fresh air in from that side cover without removing the fog light.

Nice, you can never have too many Z3s.
My wife’s exact words
“You’re not buying any more f%#*ing Z3s”
So obviously there’s room for more as I don’t think she has been specific enough

Thought I'd give this a go while it's on special offer at Halfords
She should be proud. You’re doing very important conservation work.
I got it from Schmiedmann but it is an Wiechers Sport: https://www.wiechers-sport.de/en/sh...ter---coupé-domstrebe-stahl-vorne-oben-detail

I'll let you work it out. 
I do like those 60's plates but I'd be to worried that Mr Plod would pull me over for a chat with a desire to relieve me of some of my beer tokensI'll let you work it out.

You are not wrong. Had them on my Z3M for quite some time and passed loads of Rozzers who didn't seem too interested, motorway cops may be a different issue though. They are held on with 3M hanger Velcro and the originals will be in the boot with the same, so the excuse will be I forgot to remove the show plates officer I'll whip them off now and put the proper ones on ..... and smile hoping he's in a good mood.I do like those 60's plates but I'd be to worried that Mr Plod would pull me over for a chat with a desire to relieve me of some of my beer tokens
It's a bit of a risk though, as the officer could be on a particularly bad mood…You are not wrong.

Anyway, it reminded me that I can get nice black and silver plates for my Spitfire, which was certainly manufactured before 1 January 1975.

Yeah, I see them. New bits of scaffold board. Very handy.
