Goodbye all

[Ian J]

Although I've had my lovely red Z4 for just over a year it has covered two summers but it's now time for it to go.

My mileage has dropped considerably in the last year and the car has only done 5,000 miles since June 2021 and is quite an expense for something that just spends most of it's time on the drive. I'm also not getting any younger and it gets more and more difficult getting in and out although once in the car is incredibly comfortable.

Due to the lengthy lead in time for new cars I managed to get back more than I owed and have bought a three year old VW T-Roc instead which won't be as much fun but will be more practical and certainly cheaper.

I've enjoyed reading and participating in the forum and would like to thank everyone for their help especially the fellow with the odd user name who always answered any technical problems I had no matter how daft and Argyll Andy who always made me laugh

Ahhh. Sorry to see you go. Glad you have enjoyed summers out of it!

Enjoy the t-roc!

You don’t have to be a Z4 owner to be a member here! I strayed away a couple of times but always kept in touch.

I won't disappear completely as I find the jokes extremely funny

You mean the for sale threads?

I haven’t had my Z (still on loan to Bing) for 7 years now, but still enjoy the site. Will get another one at some stage when a good one comes along as a keeper

Don’t be a stranger

Sorry to see a fellow Tammy leave. Have fun with the VW.

 

[Ian J]

Have fun with the VW.

Somehow I doubt it

Mine will be up for sale in Sytners Tamworth by the end of the week so it could well be sold locally

 

[Scubaregs]

Best of luck, you have to do what is right for you, stick around though.

V T-Roc looks nice, did you get the cabriolet ?

No. I got a T-Roc ordinaire but it was the top of the range as I didn't want to miss out on the toys that I had got used to

 

[buzyg]

There's a time for sports cars and it not for ever. You can still stick around and chat though. :wink:

 

[Mr Tidy]

Shame you are having to part with your Z4 but there comes a time when they are no longer practical for whatever reason. I hope the T-Roc fits the bill.

Good to see you will still be dropping by here too.

 

[Reamesy]

Goodbye and happy motoring bud. Stay tuned. You might be back

Sorry you’ve had to change the Zed Ian, but more importantly the forum can’t lose a man like you who obviously has impeccable taste :wink: . As others have said stick around and health and happiness with the new wheels

 

[Pondrew]

I'm welling up here!
This is such a momentous occasion I think it deserves what I like to call an "ode to Ian":

You had a G29
I do wish it was mine
you have now left us all
but we will stand tall

Gone into a T-Roc
We wish you well
but please don't dwell
on the friends or those who mock

 

[Scubaregs]

Feck me, Vogon poetry has just moved up a place. :rofl:

 

[MikeyH]

Wow, impressive dude

Bloody ‘ell, the forum has its own William McGonagle.
