Hello and evening everyone hope we are all well?
Well my name is Scotty and im from Northampton for my sins! Anywho i've been a lurker for a while reading up and checking things out. Some good reading from very knowledgable folks.
Background wise had a varied car life. Was heavily into my classic mini's (still are), then was drawn into the Jap scene. Few FD RX7's. rev 3 MR2 turbo became a father so went sensible. Alfa and Range Rover (classic minis as weekend toys) until I got bored and got myself an 05 Subaru Impreza STi which to be honest. . . I got bored of quickly! Now this is when I was introduced to the world of BMW. Got myself a very nice and tidy E60 530i. Wonderful car owned it for about 18 months which is a long time for me. Recently bought my wife a new car, 11 plate Kuga for the family runs so 5 series was a bit overkill . . . .yep . . perfect chance to get a new toy.
Onto my new car which I have owned for about a month and half. Its a Z4 obviously :roll: . I test drove a 2.5 and 3 litre and were nice cars but a little older and higher mileage than I wanted. Plus wanted something to cruise around in had many fast cars and loss of self control in the past soooooo, and this is where a few may think badly about my engine choice (and quite possibly colour but will leave that for time being), found myself a tidy 2007 2.0 sport. Read up and think for what they are a very nice drive, turn in is great as smaller lump in the front and as I have seen many times on track days just because you have fast car doesn't mean you're a fast driver! :wink: Few little things need doing mainly a wheel refurb although the 108's will be winter rims as new wheels will be on as soon as.
Anyway thats me sorry to rant on and il leave you with a pic. . . il post more in the gallery to keep track on changes that I have planned.
