Morning All,
I always like to say hi on a new forum before asking lots of questions, so hi to everyone and apologies in advance if I ask lots of questions - I promise I'll try searching first!
I'm an utter petrolhead, have always loved cars, always liked a variety of cars and just love driving!
I do plenty of trackdays and love that aspect of driving the most, however we have some wonderful roads and I also enjoy a good roadcar, on top of that, it's so nice to have something you can enjoy every time you make a journey!
So what brings me here? My partner is coming back to the UK at the end of the week and so we need two cars again. Previously our nice car was a 435d that we leased on an exceptional deal, however we are saving for a house move mid-next year so would rather buy something of lesser value outright.
We have a Clio 200 that does the hot hatch thing, has 4 seats and a tailgate, so I can use that for carrying wheels, tyres and other large objects around.
So that means a sportscar or small coupe is a real option. I had an S2000 a number of years ago and whilst it was an excellent driver's car, I thought it was a very poor roadcar.
A good friend of mine has just sold his 350z, which he said was hands down the best car he has owned (he has owned some good stuff), so that is/was on the shortlist.
But then I've always had a bit of a thing for the rear end of the Z4 Coupe, and I do love BMW.
Under normal circumstances I would be a Z4 M kind of guy, but, on this ocassion they are too much for me. An extra 10k there is 10k less deposit on the next house, so I have to be sensible.
I also have an all out track car that does the fast, rwd, slippy diff fun thing, so I don't feel like I'll be missing out too much!
So I'm here initially to learn about the 3.0si Coupe, find out what I should be looking for in a good one and work out which options I need/want.
Look forward to seeing some of your cars and taking some inspiration from them.
