    Im frankly not sure what I was hoping for. Lore tells that the earlier variants (3.5 then the earlier V8) of the Hartge coupes became (as in - same car, different engines put into it) the currrent 5.0 coupe which is still intact and not to mention, silver. Im assuming this Hartge hood was at one time on a roadster as they fiddled with a few of those as well. But it certainly complicates things as Im researching coupes and rare z variants.

    I'm puzzled as to what you had to do..


    But, I did do that drive myself, from Lyon to Germany, and past, not from Clermont Ferrand. It looks like Lyon is close to you. I love southern France.


    The highway toll system is a bit weird. I went into the card only line at the toll booth (thinking at how clever I was to save my Euros and use my USA card). And my card wouldn't work on the magnetic strip, it wanted chip only. It didn't have a chip. So as I try again and again, I have over 10 cars behind me... and the machine doesn't take cash.... and I can't back up because of the long line.

    My 4 years of high school French wasn't enough help in the chaos. And the lady on the machine help button did not speak English. How embarrassing at how I blocked up a whole exit.
    Oh good memories of southern/central France.

    Only few things to do, the car is ready to use nets week at "Magny-Cours" which was used by Formula one GP...






    To remind you my nickname !



    This garage is a specialist for BMW M











    Weight put on the car (roll cage extinghiser...) (44,1 kilos 97 lbs)


    Weigh saved (45,081 kilos 99,2 lbs) :bounce:


    = 1191,7 kilos 2621 lbs for my Z3M abefore the work

    1191,7+44,1-45,081=1190,7 kilos (2619 lbs) after the job My target was not to be heavier after this job..

    Next winter I will save more weight with other Lexan and fiberglas body kit !

    I very happy to have finish, because I'm little bit fed up with all this job !

    Pardon my (lack of) French... what does Gatouille mean?

    Also very impressive work on this so far. With all the mis-matched panels on it right now it makes me think of the VW Harlequin...

    Thank you !

    Gatouille means nothing, it's a part of my real name and also a wink to a famous (french)film during the 90's. One character of this film was called "Jacquouille La Fripouille" It's hard to translate : perhaps "Joke the scroundel" ?


    My car is Beneton approved !
    benetton-united-colors-of-benetton-small-46062.jpg

    Sorry for these uggly colors, but I have to wait. I'm little fed up with all the job i did, I want a break, and I have to save money to buy the fiberglas kit and then paint it.
    Next winter....

    Back from M Fest of France at the very famous (Ex GP Formula one) Magny-Cours Track.
    First day on the school (little) club track second one one GP track(big)
    https://m-club.fr/
    https://www.facebook.com/BMWMClubFrance/

    Very nic to see BMW M everywhere, BMW of France rent this place.


    Even the hôtel :








    Outside it's not so bad...

















    Morning between 9am and 10 am I was allowed to use only 5000 rpm with my engine, 10 am to 11am 5500 and 11 to 12 am 6000 rpm
    Power is not the point on this little track, and I was very happy that nobody overtook me even without the max of power on my engine


    The car was efficient, easy to drive and reliable !
