Hi all, been lurking about for a while here doing some research, but feel it is rude not to introduce myself properly. I am 32 and love cars (like everyone on here!). I generally change my motor once a year as I tend to get bored easily. I do like to drive something special, and a bit different or at least not too common.
I have owned cars such as a Volvo C30 T5, Leon Cupra, Mini Cooper, etc. treated myself three years ago to a '95 Corrado VR6, which I absolutely loved and is probably my favourite car to date. God I miss it.... Sold it and moved on to a Mk V R32 in that stunning blue and fully loaded. It was a natural progression and again, I miss the NA V6 silky smooth power. Sadly, personal circumstances dictated that I sell it and get something cheap and economical to run for a while. I'm getting back to the point where I can buy a proper car again, and want something special to give me some driving pleasure again.
Quite frankly, with the exception of brands like Maserati, Aston Martin etc, modern cars don't really excite me with their 4 pot turbo engines blah blah blah. I need some 6 pot NA pleasure and that brought me to Bavarians finest. Was initially looking at E92 330i coupes but then I chanced across the Z4 coupe, and it has really turned my head a lot. I appreciate that it has some issues but what car doesn't? I like to research my purchase thoroughly before buying and know I will have to take a trip to the mainland to get one of these rare beasts but that's part of the fun. So I'll be on the look out for a coupe with a manual box in as good a condition as I can afford.
I look forward to getting a car and becoming part of, what seems like, a very friendly and helpful forum.
