Look at how many people actually say that was them not many. I can't be arsed posting up most of the E85's, E86's and E89's I see because they probably won't be on here and the Lady driving etc ones even more so! I can count on the one hand how many E89 drivers in the UK are posting and visiting the site on a regular basis.

The guys I know who are on here that I've seen I will acknowledge but most people driving a Z4 are not enthusiasts and probably don't even know this site exsists.

Take exception to this! Although must admit not an an "enthusiast" but love my zed.

Anyway a white 12 plate on overtook me on The Avenue, Southampton heading out towards the M3/M27 this evening around 5.30-6pm. Have seen loads in the last few months we've had one but rarely post here or wave/get waved at :(

And why do you take exception to this? Clearly you know this site exsists. You do know that there are thousands of Z4's on the road and that applies to E89's however there is only a small fraction of the amount of people on this site and not all of them are from the UK. The likelihood is that unless you know that other car is a forum member your probably more likely to come across a car where the other driver is not. You've even said you rarely get a post of wave which shows they are more than likely not members.

Most people that use forums for information about there car are more enthusiast types. Yes there is the one post type of folk just looking for information but the majority of people on this site are enthusiasts

Like I also said I can count on the 1 hand how MANY FEMALE E89 owners post on here and you are one of them. Both SARS and Carol were E89 oweners but are not anymore. Most posts are from males......even if it's their wives car

It was said tongue in cheek but that doesn't come over on screen! should have only quoted the "lady driver" bit!!

I keep spotting my old E89, DY12 NJZ tootling along A449 Wolverhampton Road in Stafford, lady driver. Anyone off here?

Tim.

Her hubby will probably confirm if they are shortly :rofl:

CaliforniaGirl, ah I see. Maybe using this wee fella :roll: might help in future. It's always difficult to judge tone when your just reading stuff. Glad you were not really offended.
 
Black E89 between Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside this afternoon, I waved and.....for the first time in 2 years of zed ownership I got a wave back.....from both occupants, happy days :)
 
White 2l in the Symonds Yat viewpoint car park - early afternoon.
Black 3l in the car park by the Royal Lodge Hotel in Symonds Yat
 
Was driving alongside th30der in his Valencia Orange E89 in Uxbridge for a few seconds around 18:30 today (not in my Zed)
 
White e89 in Devizes on the A360 heading towards Potterne at 07.20h. Top up on such a beautiful morning :thumbsdown:
 
11 plate, grey 23i (I think) stopped outside the Macdonald Hotel at Holyrood at 13:35. Make driver with the roof up :thumbsdown: it's scorchio too!

Ive never understood having the roof on when hot and dry.
A fella along the road from us wouldn't put the roof down nor drive home without it if neighbours were watching incase he looked like he was showing off!

To be fair, the sun might be out but there is quite a breeze but not enough to stop the roof being down. Yesterday, yes as it was gusts of 50mph plus during the day :o

People who think they are being watched or talked about clearly have nothing better to do.
 
On the flip side I've also got a neighbour who has a complete narcissus complex !
Drives his wife's mx3 no roof, loud music and wears a Stars and Stripes bandana .
He tells me I've bought the wrong car .
 
Black E89 09/59 plate. Ex BMW car with YR I think. Looked like they had also changed the indicators to the facelift ones. Guy, short black hair, shades. Roof down :thumbsup: at the bottom of St Mary Street in Edinburgh at 9:50ish this morning. I was going to give you a wee thumbs up as I went but you might think I was mental. I was driving the blue R32 GTR with gold wheels which turned up onto St Mary's Street.
 
Not many acknowledge other zed drivers - if you do give a wave and they don't respond you feel like a right plonka!

They'd be less likly to wave to someone in a Datsun lol! I did get a wave of an older gent in a MX-5, he also had his roof down :thumbsup:
 
Oh and not me but a conversation with my folks who've just returned from Thailand and they said where they were staying, nearby there was a white Z4 E89. I wonder if it was ThaiZ4
