So what are you doing with the recently acquired E85? Are you keeping that as well or is it going up for sale?
I'm not sure we actually have any members who currently own both an E85/6 and E89, maybe you could start a trend. :thumbsup:
Did you ever fully resolve the steering issues on the E85?
I have an E85 3.0i and an E89 35i as it happens MACK. :wink:
That would be three of us in the club :D

Appears so at the moment, but the question is "How long for?" - I'm guessing that you and Andy may not be planning to hang on to your E85s. :wink:

Just realised you've moved on to the E89 and had a read through this string.

Not surprised - prices falling and you've always got a keen eye on the market :thumbsup:

Interesting comments already about the nature of the new Zed . . . .

Classy looking colour combination :thumbsup:

Under a week owned & getting the car round to how i want it
Applied 50 Cal glaze followed by Collinite insulator wax to the paint & found only minor chips & nicks so that's always good

Looking good Andy.

Enjoy Scotland, think it's going to be a lot colder than when I was there a couple of weeks ago. You could probably do with some winter tyres st the moment :cry:

Looking nice.
We were supposed to be doing a mini tour of Scotland this weekend, but an 80th birthday meant postponing for a couple of weeks.
