In the past I have always part exchanged my car for either something better or something equal but different. This is the first time that I have taken a step backwards and I'm really not looking forward to it. I'll probably get the phone call later this week that it's ready to pick up and I'm dreading that moment

I only do 6,000 miles per year and agree it does cost a lot based on that sort of mileage, but I think I have earned it and until Labour get in and make it too expensive to drive a petrol car, I will stick with it. My knees make it a little challenging o get in and out and still look cool but I have found if you wind the widow down it does make it easier, especially in a tight garage.
Don't be too disappointed, at least your driving something :thumbsup:
 
I only did about 2.5k between last Sept and this Sept (Mot dates)
I have my wobbly legs so the Smarttop Module is essential - It allows me to get in and out and retain some dignity- :thumbsup:

I often wonder how many say "look at that white haired old f4rt in a sports car"
 
In my experience it’s usually middle aged women that laugh at me, especially when they see me with the roof down in the middle of winter :rofl: :thumbsup: don’t care, too much.
 
Most reaction I get is from similar people to me, ie 70+ silver haired gentlemen in garden centre and supermarket car parks. Always respect and admiration (with a little touch of envy! :D

Funny as the only comment I have had with the Z4 was in a garden centre car park last summer. A chap around 40 with his youngish kids walked past and said to his nippers "now that's a proper car"! :)

The ball and chain uses it most (her car officially), and at her work they call it "Heather's pulling car"! :lol:
 
I had one nasty ish indecent when I was driving in 20mph zone when a young chap walking with his girlfriend shouted something at me. I got to the roundabout at the end of the road and went back and there they were still walking. As I got closer she was looking embarrassed and looking away but he decided to shout that he hoped the car would break down. I smiled and carried on and thought "What a w*nker. :rofl: :rofl: :thumbsup:
