Hi, I'm Paul, from Fife in Scotland.
Having been a member of the MX5 forum for a few years, running a 98 S plate 1.8 that is a labour of love due to rust.....
I have been looking at early 2.5 Boxsters, second generation SLKs and of course the Z4.
The Boxsters worried me because of the IMS issue that can destroy the engine....., the Merc SLKs generally bullet proof, but didn't have the kerb appeal for me, and not as dynamic to drive....which led me to the Z4, always been an admirer and have had a few BMWs over the years, currently a 13 plate 520d SE which is a great piece of machinery and a lovely place to be to eat up the work miles (company car). So placed my deposit today on a 2.5se in black, 54 plate with FSH and 3k worth of options when new in metallic black with 2 owners. I'm looking forward to the 250 mile drive back to Scotland!
