Hello - now I have a picture!
I picked up my Zed in late November and have been so slow in getting any pictures. No picture no newbie thread!
Here it is on the wet grey day I collected it. A 2.0i.
Not a daily driver, but I do enjoy every time I get into it and am looking forward to sunnier weather.
The last 2 seater I had was a Honda S2000, which I bought in 2004 and only kept for 2 or 3 years. I am now firmly into the Old Git category of member (I was probably an old git in 2004, thinking about it) as father time is sprinting at a ridiculous pace.
A very interesting forum, thanks to all the knowledge of the members.

Hello - now I have a picture!
I love it (which is all that matters!). Ad with many owners, it takes time to find the right one. I was looking for a white or grey Z4, with one or two other deal breakers on spec.
I was driving through Luton (yes, it was a punishment) one day past Specialist Cars BMW and I saw for the first time an Estoril Blue Z4. It became first choice in moments.

Reply to mcbee a couple of posts below. I know, it is tough to guess the posts in the future. Owning a Z4 gives you mysterious powers!
If you still lived there I doubt it would be a punishment to go there!

Wine, beer, sun, food and leisure all help too.
