New owner coming from MX5

Post by Optinium » Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:35 am

Hey all

New member from Manchester here, now living in Gosport where there is a lot more Sun :3
This week I traded in my weekend blast Mazda MX5 2.0 RC Sport for something more GT a 23i sDrive.
When I originally purchased the MX5 I chose it over an E86 Z4 2.0i as it just felt better all round apart from in the comfort department. Over the past 2 years I've been testing the odd convertible here and there, TT, SLK, 987 Boxster but ultimately decided on the E89 Z4.

Anyway this thread is useless without pics so here you are :3

Also if anyone has any suggestions or links to some 'tasteful' (aeriel, alloys etc...) mods then feel free to let me know :D
