Hi everyone,

My name is DaveH and I have owned a 1998 Z3 2.8 Roadster since 2012. I fell in love with the looks of the Z3 Roadsters when they first came out in 1996 and was determined to eventually own one. I've been a "car guy" for nearly my entire life and I am actually a retired Ford dealer. I sold my Ford dealership in 2007 and own a computer repair business to keep me occupied. My wife and I love to travel however we limit the "Z" to short trips within a 3 or 4 state area. During the summer months if we aren't home, we're probably out cruising in the "Z".

Thanks to everyone for your warm welcomes...it's too bad that distance keeps us all from going for a tour together.

Hello there Dave and welcome to the forum, I'm just departing your shores on my way home to near Lincon UK. after 3 weeks in very hot and sunny Florida. Love your car, that's a great colour and in all fairness probably the best engine too.:)

Tony.

Hi David from me and @jue1 in Mansfield central England. Your car looks lovely. You seem to have the right idea stood in the sunshine with your Zed in toe! I worked over here for a while in a Ford dealership. The American ford range is certainly a lot better option than the choice we get here. We don't see the F150 and mustang's in our brochures! Enjoy the forum.

Right on Dan! We can't physically attend but with the help of others we'll " get by with a little help from our friends" who put us right into the action of the day. Their pics give us visual and their descriptions fill in the blanks! And occasionally we see my personal hero HT as he mesmerized the masses with his tales of days gone by!! JIM
