Hello - now I have a picture!

Post by philiph » Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:59 pm

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.

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! :D
