It happened a while back.. But still whenever James says he had a heart attack, it makes me real sad. God help all those people having health problems at a time like this.
I remember seeing the Z8 for the first time on the street back in 2002. After the 007 movie and the PS games, I couldn’t believe my eyes and it was much more beautiful in person
I used to work at a BMW Service Center as a Valet, and these things were AMAZING. There was only one advisor at the Center who was allowed to even TOUCH the Z8s, he was an older gentleman, very well respected. One time, there were two of them in at once, and that was crazy, still have the picture. We even had an Alpina Z8 in once, and that thing was even more amazing.
ALPINA is not a tuning department or a tuning company working for BMW. It is actually a separate manufacturer of cars. It is true that they get the cars straight from the BMW factory, but they get them all bare bones base so that they can take out most of everything and replace it with their own, separately produced ( in Buchloe ) parts. It is so, bacuse for BMW it is cheaper to produce a few more of the cars they already make, than to make a whole separate production line for ALPINA . Great video btw !

Yessss! I love that you guys did this car! Such an under-rated, forgotten car. I wasn't as big a fan until I saw the Z8 in person, because pictures don't do justice.

I love these videos, especially the ones on the more mondaine vehicles we take for granted. I laughed my ass off watching the pt cruiser, but I would love to see an up to speed on another pivotal vehicle we all know and have a sentimental attachment to. Everyone's mom had one or we all knew someone who had a dodge caravan/grand caravan, Chrysler Town and country or Plymouth Voyager. Some of my earliest memories came from the back built-in child seat of a 96 caravan, or the awd Voyager we had or even my aunt's town and country with swiveling seats and a pop-up card table that came out of the freaking floor! It's a car that has been in service to average middle class families for the past 37 years. There is so much history in those cars and I think we all could slide those rear doors open, pull out the stow-n-go's and take a pillowy trip down memory lane learning more about the utilitarian work horse that gave us the name mini van.
I would honestly start crying if something happened to James Pumphery. I have been watching car content for 10+ years and I have never seen someone more charismatic, joyful, and fun. This guy is a gift to Car media and should be looked after. Stay strong James pumphery, I'll be watching your videos for as long as I live!
