Hi all,
Just awaiting delivery of my 2014 Zed in 28i spec
Handed back my leased 18 Scirocco R in September with a view to driving my daughters Corsa whilst she is at Uni. Afraid my ego got the better of me and I decided that even at 60 a man should still be entitled to some fun.
Have previous with convertibles having previously owned a 350z which I loved, before going the lease car route.
Will post pics once it arrives next week, be interesting to compare performance and the auto box with the Scirocco DSG
Cheers all.

Welcome aboard to another East Anglian member. Not sure about the ITFC bit though, (Pompey fan :D )
Whereabouts in Suffolk?

I've just turned 57, currently have 3x E85s and an E89 and my head still tells me it's ok to spend Saturdays on the gravel drive tinkering under cars.
On Sundays my body reminds me that age is definitely NOT just a mindset. :rofl:
But do I listen????

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

50's 60's isn't old - almost the first flushes of youth!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
