I see them a lot less now the guy who had one on my walk to the station has swapped it for a C63 AMG Coupe ;-)
what was the colour of the one you saw near Newark? I’m not too far outside of Newark with my M

Well, we shouldn't class SE as an M car just because it has a few M badges (although the colour is bang on), but good to know another M up the end of the M11. #essexMmeet :thumbsup:

It was dark (both the car and the time of day :D ), but I'd say either Dark Blue, Grey or Black. I was heading from Grimsby for Newark Tuesday before last)

Since getting my E85 M in late Nov '18, I have been really pleasantly surprised to come across about 3-4 other M's who are based in and around Oxford/Oxfordshire. Considering that Oxford is not known for it's love of cars and car culture, I was thrilled to see that there are other Z4M owners so close to me.

Hi Busy, think u may be right : saw two red ferraris in two hundred yards and then another on a recovery truck a half mile later. You still surfing 🏄🏾‍♀️👍

Had to give up the surfing. :( Took up bouldering to fill the trying to kill myself gap, but I'm too rubbish to get in any real bother. :D

Not seen another MC for a while, but now I see an M Roadster pretty much every day.

A few months after we got an MR2, a neighbour bought one. 2 or so years ago we swapped it for the Z4M, and now so have they, except theirs has a cloth cap.

Strangely I don't think we've ever spoken to them.

Not me, but I used to head up that way a lot when I was living in London. The B1051 to Thaxted is one of the best country lanes in England, I reckon. :driving:

that sounds like a good option for a Sunday morning meet....some decent pubs around that way to finish up at as well! 👍🏻

Saw a lovely Red MR coming into Epping earlier...first one I've seen in my 4 years of ownership....nice flash of the lights to signify that we were both driving superior cars to all those others.... :thumbsup:
