12 years later.....

[Mr Tidy]

I just realised I collected my first Z4 twelve years ago today!

Little did I realise I'd still have one so many years later but I seem to be addicted to them.

Anyway here's a gratuitous photo of it from the big day.

Worse things to be addicted to matey!!

 

[Ed Doe]

Good effort mate, good to see you still knocking about in your M too!

 

[RMB]

Nice, was that ruby black?
2 yrs tomorrow with my first Zed, Monty.

 

[Mr Tidy]

Yes, it was Ruby Black with a Pearl Grey interior.

Have you not been tempted towards the light in any of those 12 years, wind in the hair and all that. It's just a shame you live so far away as I'd let you be converted with my little beastie

I've only ever met him north of Leeds in real life, multiple times now. Not sure he's a southerner

I'd let you be converted with my little beastie

Maybe it's my sense of humour, but I read that at something completely different to how it was (presumably) meant.

I've never owned or wanted any sort of convertible. Maybe my views were set by experiences of water ingress and scuttle shake in my mates' MG Midgets and Triumph Spitfires decades ago!

But thanks for the offer to try your beastie sars.

I'd never owned a 2 seater until I bought my first Z4.

@caius I'll see you next month up North again. Maybe I should try the topless experience if it isn't raining!

So when you get frisky with your good lady, do you really tell her that you want to have your wicked way with her little beastie

 

[sars]

@Mr Tidy up North where?

 

[Erudite-Idiot]

Where indeed?
We could have a mini Yorkshire meet

 

[Mr Tidy]

@Mr Tidy up North where?

I'll be on the West at Craig's National meet in the Lakes, although it usually takes in the Dales too.

 

[Roberltd2]

Time flies eh Mr T?

 

[Pondy]

So when you get frisky with your good lady,

25 years married. Can't remember TBH.

 

[Pondy]

Stop press......
The ONLY lady on the forum is offering certain forum members her 'little beastie' to play with.

"Suits you, Sir. Ooooh!"

Having started driving a 2006 StreetKA recently I realise just how well engineered the Z4 is with little to no scuttle shake. It's quite hilarious (and only mildly terrifying) watching the StreetKA flex around over bumps. The wing mirrors are basically useless too because they're always vibrating around.

That may be a poor choice of words - I'm sure Pondy will offer some words of muppetdom.

You like the bird bath, that the hatchback offers with the Coupri.

The wing mirrors

Funny how we still call them this when all cars for decades have mirrors attached to the doors, not wings. Old habits die very hard.
