Nope, I live half way between Bicester and Aylesbury. Are you local?
Stokenchurch, so not to far away.
My parents live in Bledlow Ridge so I’ve frequently blasted up Aston Hill.

The next ridge over from us then, Aston Hill is a great drive ....in the dry.
We can try and arrange a meet, say the mid Bucks area. Will look at next year :)

Oh, nice. Some good roads round you. :thumbsup:

I'm local too - in London at the moment but hopefully moving back to the 'shire soon.

Sounds like a great plan Squadron Leader! I will be going to a sprint at Bicester Heritage on the 6th Jan to show off the Z4 or 'Big Red' as she is now known.

I think I've seen 2 other Z's in Brackley. Just when I thought I might be the only one :-)

Are you around Saturday or Sunday ?

I’ve been to a couple of the Bicester Heritage days, they are becoming quite a turn out.

Recommend it , next time we can get a few Z’ds grouped together 😬

Hi Bodben. Had TT’s since 2000 and only got rid of my last one in August for the Z4. Nice to actually go around corners instead of skipping around!
Test drove a 3.2 back in the day and the understeer was worse due to the extra weight of the engine.
Still beautifully built cars the Audi.
