Yup, get my vote too, as a multiple Capri (30+) owner including a 2.8i Special for 26 years, and having founded and run Kings Lynn Capri Club for about 15 years.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Cheers Mr Tidy, i am going to see who is local to me and if i can get a ride in a car with non run flat tyres to check out how much of a difference they make. Previous owner spent nearly £800 on pirelli tyres less than a 1k miles ago...but majority on the forum suggest changing them for a better ride. It is pretty 'raw' but I am not going to give myself time to just used to this...then decide.

Capri owners reunited :thumbsup:
I just had the one and unfortunately turned into something of a villain magnet. A customer at the time had one and it simply disappeared off their drive one night, i sold mine but often regretted it.
Still, really enjoying the Zed and getting used to it.
