      Finally saw Z4 that was driving and could look at it. I saw that there's some low convertible ahead of me on M25. After getting closer, had a chance to check it out, 20 plate, base spec 20i in white. I didn't realise it looks so low from distance.

      They also must look quite mean/menacing when they appear behind you because every time I came up behind anything yesterday they seemed very anxious to let me past ASAP :oops: :lol:

        It will probably take a few years to see another one and driving behind me.

        From my car history, people let ma pass immediately in Porsche and with Audi A8/S8 there was always space left for me on fastest lane, it was expected that I will want to change to it.

            Ah, got you Andy.
            Most of the pics were taken from the car, will see if I've got any of it.

            Came up behind one a few weeks back and was trying to work out what it was, before realising it was a Z4. My fiancée does not like hard, fast cornering which was part of my reason for selling my 718 Boxster. Last two days driving to Skye for a night away proved the Z4 is a better chice for us.

            Besides, I've got my S1000R sport for "making good progress" :evil:

            Second time I have spotted and followed a black G29 with a reg number beginning M40 in Tamworth. Crafty devil bypasses traffic lights by driving into Sainsbury car park and out the other end
