lancylad Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks to Z3 Stalker(Stewart) managed to get out for a run along H'way 40 and then on to H'way 1A which runs us thru some of the sweetest mountain scenery. Just three cars on this outing, hopefully we can get a few more on the next one. We had our Wifes along which held the tendancy to get heavy footed down to a minimum but it was a blast anyway. Had a great lunch in Longview at the local Saloon which gave us a chance to talk, what else, cars... Stewart-Stalker....Bill - Locost(V8 powered) me- Westfield.. Awesome run, great company, lets do it again ..Soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Great scenery out there. I was in Canmore today purchasing my Birkin, and on the drive home I was daydreaming about what a great drive it will be once I have mine complete and registered. Good to see folks out enjoying these cars, I hope to be joining you all soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR4Bill Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I was out in mine yesterday and it was ok. Mind you we are not getting the high temps that you guys are getting. Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3 Stalker Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 We had high temps on the Blackhills Tour, as long as you can keep moving all is well:) Quite a few of the guys would wear light weight long sleeved shirts and long pants while driving.

Jackal Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't mean to threadjack, but I had to ask. Has anyone here gone to extra lengths to insulate the foot well? I was thinking about using some of that automotive adhesive backed insulation under the carpet. I don't know exactly how it would work yet though as I have not picked up my Birkin yet.

jlumba81 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I used a DEI 010391 Reflect-A-GOLD 12"x 12" Sheet off of amazon. I put it on the engine side of the footbox. It cut down a noticeable amount of heat, but now I notice the heat coming off the transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3 Stalker Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The Stalker has no need for additional insulation as the footwell does not get hot, I cannot speak to other makes though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I used the sticky backed stuff that Eastwood Company sell, make a difference in my Westfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
