4000 up . Great folks - great forum

[mr wilks]

Being Zless i almost feel like an imposter but this place is so easy to be in with a great variety of folks & posts so why would anyone want to leave :?
As many already know i sold my Zcoupe to release funds to complete a renovation project in Normandy & also to ease the household motoring outgoings in order to supposedly spend more time away from work . (it was a 3rd car & a luxury we could live without )
To that end things have worked as planned however the lack of a weekender after having one for 5 years is starting to get to me & when our E91tourer is sold i will be looking for something to invest the money in i won,t have enough for another Zcoupe unfortunately otherwise it would be a 1 horse race !

soooooooooooooo i have a list of 3 possibles with a couple of outsiders 8) as ever all thoughts & comments are welcomed

Well done on the 4000

I'm not going to dignify your question with an answer when you already know what it is...

z roadster- you will never look back.

Not keen on the one you posted though as the aftermarket radio puts me off.

How about these

Rare olivine green- certainly be noticed at meets

Cheers Stuart , you probably noticed the Z is the only convertible in the choices ?
Open top motoring not really my thing but i may find iv,e been missing out ? 8)

 

[Darren Slone]

Congratulations Andy on your 4000

I'd go for the Z too, I've driven a number of TT's and they all tended to wallow around and from what I remember reading at launch time the 3.2 engine is too heavy for the car, I do like the CLK but as a weekender go topless when you can

 

[Maxsam]

Congrats on the 4000 posts... the Z is the obvious choice... with the hard top option if you have somewhere to store it.. until your OCD with the tin top is sorted...

 

[original guvnor]

There's been a spate of us crossing the 4,000 mark in the last week or two! Well done Mr W and I'd have to recommend staying in the Zed fold!I'm a Coupe man through and through now but I had the Roadster once and it's worth doing for a while!

 

[mr wilks]

Thanks for the Z4 roady recommendations i am 60/70 % on trying but another factor for the weekend car is being able to do France 4,5 or 6 times a year sometimes with mrs w & terrier ?
