    from Z4MR to Merc SL55 AMG

    Cheers for the comments guys :) Yup, SL and VX220 are definitely opposite ends of the spectrum, I tested the VX220 Turbo when looking to replace the S2000, and compared it against the Tamora. The TVR won as I felt it would be the better road car, but if I had been planning on fairly regular...

    from Z4MR to Merc SL55 AMG

    Hi folks - been requested by Mike to post some pics and thoughts, having owned a Z4MR for about a year after a TVR Tamora for 3 years, and switched 4 months ago into the Merc. Not trying to offend any Z4M owners, just my opinions! :) So why did I get the BMW in the first place? I loved my...

    The Smoothest Way to drive a Z4M

    Afraid I can't help you with any advice or recommendations - after about 1 yr of ownership I had to give up and trade into a Merc SL55 with old mans auto and steering wheel buttons! :D I think the option of the SMG on the new Z4 should vastly improve the car, and cure what has I'm sure been a...

    What are you going for next?

    Hi Mike - I tried an SLK55 last weekend, I was pretty impressed and may try get a longer test drive in another one, but overall I am still preferring the SL at the moment. I happened to end up trying the SLK over an almost identical test route that I had just been over an hour earlier in a 996...

    What are you going for next?

    I recently drove a 645 convertible, engine sounded great, went fairly well, but overall a bit too much on the "soft" side for me. Was also tempted by M6, 2nd hand coupes at £40k now, but think I want to stick with convertible, and they're a lot rarer and pricier - you also lose the lovely...

    How fast have you been?

    an indicated 160 on a recent weekend in France - 2 clear lanes stetching out in front of me, top down, wasn't even thinking of maxing it, but soon found myself there, still accelerating, but had to slow for upcoming traffic, which arrived very quickly! Car felt absolutely fine and stable...

    2008 Largest ever Z4 meet - Spa Francorchamps Belgium

    Hi - I've already posted my interest on the Pistonheads thread, sounds like a good idea. :thumbsup: However, and without wanting to wish too much work on you, it might be a more attractive event to more people if you are also finding / suggesting accomodation, ferry routes, and turning it...

    Kent Meet? Sunday 21st October?

    Hi Andy - I'd be up for a meet, but am away that weekend. How about joining a meet arranged on S2000 website - 6th or 7th Oct, will involve a decent pre-lunch drive to a good Chinese restaurant, and most of the attendees no longer have S2000's - runners include an NSX, Merc SLK, M5, probably...

    mr sixspeed, isn't it ?? =)

    Very nicely controlled burnout sixspeed :thumbsup: - personally I'd be nervous doing that with crowds so close :o But I've found a much better pic of your number plate, in its previous incarnation - scroll down past the shapely Tamora arse shot, and check out the power this reg used to...

    sixspeed famous on Pistonheads

    Thanks for posting the charts guys - pretty good figs for both cars :thumbsup: Looks like v little difference in peak torque figs, but sixspeeds looks a bit flatter overall. Maybe we should do a group Z4M trip to a Rolling Road - Surrey or Austec in Gatwick? - and with a mix of cars, from...
