Z4 Mk1 in Practical Classics

Post by firebobby » Sun Aug 05, 2018 10:41 am

Just had my September copy of practical classics delivered and found the article about buying a MK1 Z4. We are now practical classic car owners :D
Funny how the E85/86 is classed as the MK1, but I suppose it makes sense

Looks like a good write up, so get your copy :thumbsup:

I was laying in bed flicking (steady at the back) through my PC and came across another really interesting read on page 36....... :)

Strange that they used a photo of me with my eyes half closed and the Z4 owner who came along and gave his time for hours wasn't mentioned, nor were his photos used except in the close up detail images. :(

Fishy Dave - Hi there the photos of the shoot were used.......? The main vehicle shots were the ones used, unless I have missed your sarcasm.
