Tis true :( been a great 7yrs & thoroughly enjoyable ownership of all the 14 x Zs but all good things come to a end :cry:
A return to the 911 world was always going to happen & 997s have become ridiculous value I couldn't ignore the urge any longer
Bought a 911 / 997 Carrera4 manual last week.
35is should belong to another forum member tomorrow.

Think it may be a while before anyone beats your total z4 accumulation.Agree with you with 997 Porsches they are so much value for the money I think partly due to forum hysteria surrounding borescore ims rms issues.Looks a cracker mate enjoy :driving: :driving:

Mr Wilks, you're as well placed now to give a view. Given that there is only about £10k difference between a nice Z4MC and a 997....which is the better car for the money?

I reckon he will have a flirt with a ZMC at some point down the line. :driving: Porker looks gorgeous though, these are ageing so well to look at.

Always wondered whether Mr Wilks was pretty much a private dealer of Z4's, seeing as he chopped and changed fairly often. I guess now he can give us an answer? :lol:

Nice Porsche, much better looking (not as dated) as the E85/6 Era Zed's in my opinion. These will stand the test of time very well, I think :thumbsup:
