Greetings from Spain/UK ;-)
Hi all
Just a brief "Hello" (or "Hola") from Southern Spain. Originally from Wakefield, West Yorkshire I moved down here 17 years ago and have loved every minute of it . Mum & Dad are still there, so I visit them pretty regularly (and also to watch the odd LUFC match).
Well I've been looking round for the last 4 or 5 months for an MR2, but the ones I've been interested in have gone, and at the minute, being the middle of Summer in the UK, there aren't that many for sale and the ones that are, are pricey. So I've been thinking about the possibility of a Z4 . I'm still reading lots about them and have found this forum a real help. I've got around £4,000 at the mo to buy an MR2, but I reckon with a few months before the autumn I could scrape another £1,000-£1,500. If I sell some camera gear I never use I could also get at least another grand to play with...
So, that's about all for the time being. I look forward to chatting with you all as I try to find out as much as possible about my possible future purchase. I'm starting to see what things to look out for on s/h Z4's and the pros & cons of owning one.
Hasta pronto!

Z4 is a far better choice than an MR2
