Thing is, you could shack up with the most amazingly talented nymphomaniac in the world, but if she looked that ugly, would you want to be seen out with her? :?

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Rally replicas, or 'homologation specials', were the best fun you could have on four wheels, irrespective of the price tag IMO. The Japs have done it better than anyone else for decades.
I had a Mitsubishi Evo 20 years ago. It is still the best all round car I've ever owned for smiles-per-mile. Too old now to appreciate the talents of that type of car TBH. :(
Still wouldn’t buy, they’re crap. Christ you could get a decent Porsche for that kind of money. Oops sorry just remembered it’s Easter
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.

….and the RS200, Metro 6R4 and ‘Scort cosseh’ were all better than Jap nonsense …. :fuelfire: :wink:

I imagine it would send many a Porsche owner into a tizzy on both road and track :lol:

Still alot of £££s though, makes my little i20N seem like a bargain :driving:
