Hello from Leicester!

Post by Dstatham » Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:50 am

Hi guys!

Thought I would sign up as I am looking to purchase a Z4 next month. I have had a brief stint with a diesel VW bora after some drunken idiot wrote off my lovely 330ci Sport whilst it was parked up innocently minding its own business!

I loved the straight 6 engine and like the idea of a soft top with the same engine. After just coming out of a relationship I also do not need the practicality of a big car anymore. Call it an early mid life crisis at 31!

I work in motorsport and I am in Leicester. It would be nice to meet up with any fellow owners around the Leicester/midlands area when I find the right car.

Thanks.

Thanks for the welcomes. Yes definitely a roadster, I have a 10 year old daughter and I feel it will make some great memories for her bombing around with her dad this summer :)

Plus those roof down summer morning drives to work!

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

3 litre is a good choice - you could do worse than to look at what is in the classifieds on here as a starting point!

I found my current Coupe in Rugby, then brought it South to Berkshire. :)

Once you've found one don't forget to post some photos!

Well I will be in a position to buy at the end of this month and would prefer a forum bought car to be honest.

I will keep a look out in the classifieds.

It says the requested topic does not exist when I click the link. The biggest problem I have at the moment is being out of the country whilst working. I will have a couple of weeks at home in April and I hope to be able to view some cars then. I don’t just want to buy the first one I see, unless it’s the right car of course!
