Hi all, well I always told myself I would just lurk and only post when someone spotted my car, but c'mon guys, someone must have seen it by now, it's not exactly a shy and retiring colour!
So anyway, here it is.
I'm in Attleborough, Norfolk. Often see Jingle's passing by but boy, you have to be quick to see it!!

Just hope, what with me being something of an IT luddite, that I manage to get the piccie the right way up.

Hi, thanks. Actually had it since June 2016. Must have been fate really. No.2 son followed in my footsteps and joined the RAF as an airframes/engines mechanic. Whilst he was at RAF Halton on basic training we went to visit him. I'd recently sold the 2.8i Capri I'd owned since 1989 and was missing the long bonnet, RWD experience. And then we drove past Specialised Cars in Tring and there sat this great looking 20iS M Sport in my favourite colour. The following week I bought myself a train ticket and picked it up. Not sure if it was in the forum before? It was originally YY64 VKG. Still only done 21k and is more of a fair weather toy to be honest. But I'm in the process of changing jobs and it may get may get more use now as the road from Attleborough to Stowmarket, across country, seems a fun place to be.
Happy to keep it more or less standard, but I am definitely looking at other options than the Bridgestone runflats. Anything but those again!
Oh and I keep coming back to young Mr S.Bear's posts about his re-map............................

Crazy H, well, I work away during the week, and we moved into a new place about a year ago, so 'management' always has a list of jobs ready when I get home. Dammit! However, our favourite run out is early on a Sunday morning, to Southwold for a fry up breakfast and a walk along the beach. Love the smug feeling of heading home, cheerily waving to all the late risers, queuing to get to the beach.
This year I WILL be out more. Was kind of hoping your meet up at the Breckland Lodge would have materialised by now, but not heard anything?

No I got busy and didn't quite get around to it (was thinking 3rd Saturday morning when Jingle's got no football and I've other club meetings first and second weeks) - nothing too fussy was thinking along the lines of 'detailed ;dirty or daily driver' get together so its whatever state; your 'garage queen or the daily depending on hte time of year. Either Breckland Lodge or what about The Dog at Norton on the B1088 - further for us but might get a few Essex cars. Never been in but I had intended to give it a visit before posting.

Anywhere would do to be honest. About time I got out and met a few of you. Mine came with the remains of the 5 year Maint Pack, but that runs out in November, at which point I will a) be looking for a good indie, and b) visiting Evolve :)

Hi and welcome OP. :thumbsup:

You certainly seem shy and retiring even if your car isn't - only 6 posts in 2 and a half years, and 4 of them are on this thread! :lol:

Still your Z4 looks stunning in that colour - I bet you can't wait for November and the trip to Evolve. :thumbsup:
