Saw an E85 this morning at Hanworth just by the A316; we eyeballed each then I gave a thumbs up!

Anyone on here?

Spotted a black (it was dark and raining so I think it was black) E85/6 with 108's heading towards Hurn Airport at Blackwater Junction this evening. Awkward stares for a moment but then a very amiable thumbs up! Anyone on the forum? My wife was in the car and proceeded to do a double thumbs up whilst shouting 'car fwends'... :roll:

Spotted an E85 in grey/black in West Wycombe/High Wycombe earlier this afternoon. I did wave but not sure the driver even noticed I was in my E85 M.

Strange, the E85's I've encountered tend to give an acknowledgement... it's the moody moo in a black E86 in Hartley that has a bad smell under her nose

Off topic, but my god your MC is just utterly beautiful! What is the name of colour please? It's different from the blues I've come across so far, or have you done something in the edit to make the colour pop like that? I honestly love my E85 M and the colour is "alright" but how I wish my budget would have stretched a bit more so I could get myself an E86 M, as the rear quarter/boot lid compliments the lines of the car so much better than the Roadster style.

Thanks! I guess a little more than normal considering the coupe isn't an M unfortunately. I want one though but it's not on the list of priorities at the moment :cry:
Maybe one day I'll get me an MC.. for now, I will make do with my 3.0si :rofl:

The colour is Montego blue, the picture was after a fresh full detail then couple that with some moody car park lighting and 2 flash guns, it does make the colour stand out.
From memory there was a few small contrast tweaks and lighting tweaks but that was about it.

I was so close to getting a different E85 M in the same colour, but the dealership that had the car for sale, promised to call back and we gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time round. We explained how we were in Oxford, so it would be a 150 mile round trip, so we were serious about wanting to purchase the car, yet they still didn't bother calling us back to talk about what sort of price the needed from the car and going over the details of the factory JCW Mini we wanted to trade in! So in the end there was one only 17 miles away, which is now my M.

I think the Carbon Black is an ok enough colour, but there is just something about a Z4 in Montego Blue that just speaks to me. There was another 3.0 E86 in "your" colour paired with a creamy/white extended leather interior and I almost caved in and go for it, rather than getting an M.

I just realised why I assumed it was an M, it's your wheels!

I am trying to think how my M would look, it I were to get a place to wrap it in the same colour as it shows with your sig. I use to own a Fender Strat Plus Deluxe guitar that was the very same colour. It looks great on both cars and guitars!

Very nice black E85 in North Staffs this morning, coming up from Ipstones to Bottomhouse. I was in the black E86 who flashed. Thanks for the wave!
