I’m sat waiting a (delayed) connecting flight home to London from Chicago and using the time to catch up on all things Z4…

Someone tell me… has he bought it?!? Because I can’t see dates/times of when posts go on, these 4 pages may have been all added today or over 4 weeks (our time away)…

The suspense is now too much… think of the joy of opening the garage door and staring at your mint green next great ride… sorry, did I just hear a snigger? There’s a car out there for everyone

Have you been talking to my good lady again, Paul? Sounds exactly like what she says (constantly).

Nah, mate, never went to see it. The X150 is somewhat 'unpretty'. However......
I cannot find ANYTHING approaching any good for less money than an XK8 (X100), considering prices for them are rising.
I keep being drawn back to this one and am seriously thinking of contacting the seller
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... on=at_cars

£155 insurance
£360 RFL
AA family cover inc recovery £180pa (should have it anyway).
OK it will need money constantly spending as it is a Jag, but not the most expensive motoring these days! :)

That is easy, his name is on the iPhone screen and the address is on the satnav image :lol:

At least this one is less offensive than the other one

IN YOUR OPINION! :thumbsup:
Luckily we all have differing ones, otherwise there would be one car available on the market, eh?

And yes, the prices of XK8s are rising a lot.

Nice looking car, not too sure about the light exterior colour with light interior but seems to work here and looks classy. Also low road tax for what it is. And it’s a Jaaaagg. :thumbsup: from me.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
