My Zed ownership ended today

Post by GJC72 » Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:53 pm

After nearly 8 years via two E85's and most recently an E89, my Zed ownership days came to end today :( With the demands of a teenage daughter to taxi her and friends from place to place, we need something with four seats as a second car :D

Through this Forum, I've met some great people, received some excellent advice and attended some fantastic meets over the years so just wanted to say thanks to you all :thumbsup:

Hope to see some of you at next years National Meet in the Lakes. Craig says I can go so long as I stay at the back :D :D

Sad time indeed. :(

Just a thought, but couldn't you have a third car? :)

We did consider it, but she only does about 4,000 miles per year so couldn't really justify the cost of a third car

Oh well, good luck getting your daughter through her test in that case! :thumbsup:

Always welcome mate,as I am sure you know,lol.
Look forward to seeing the new m240 convertible.
Yeah, won't be long until she has passed her test I am sure,haha.
Then you can get into another z,maybe even a new shape mz40i :D
It will be strange for you not having a z after so long,sure the new car will be good though :driving:

Cheers Craig :thumbsup:

I definitely plan to get back into a Z4 at some point. The performance from the new car is stunning, by far the fastest thing I've driven so it would have to be the MZ40i when the time comes.
