Clocked this on the run up to leeds the other day, never seen one on the road before, definitely a nice looking motor imho :thumbsup:
 
I see the exhaust pipe is set in the roof on this model, a bit like those buses you see on the continent that run on water. Intruiging.
 
My MOT tester has one, said he'll take me for a run next time I go for a test. Nice chap, we share an interest in old cars as well as new ones.
 
Had the pleasure of one all afternoon a little while ago and it's some machine. Did have a rant at my dealership though as the invite came to my mate who owns a Ferrari 360 and not me a faithful BMW owner :x

Needless to say we arrived in my Zed and both shared the driving niether of us intending to buy one and only one of us being able to afford one. :D

PS The electric blue looks even better
 
More in my price range.

Try to book a testdrive and you will be.

Forget about the impractible boot, the size of parking space you will need to accommodate the size of the doors and climbing in and out is very much like the lotus Elise, but once you drive this thing you will never forget it. Amazing. :thumbsup:

I don't doubt they are fantastic to drive, but really they are just more fancy garage ornament for the rich and people with garages that hold plenty of cars. As a daily i imagine they are relatively unpractical so its more a statement than anything else.

Id rather stick my money into an RS6 any day of the week, lol.

I should add : I could never afford either really so i suppose my view is pointless.
 
I agree. It may drive superbly but it is weird looking. Front end is weedy and too feminine. Front wheels too skinny. Dont like the sculpted-out rear wings either. All a bit odd. I saw two black ones parked on different driveways a mile or two apart in Altrincham a few months back and one in Parbold recently.
 
Good spot not seen one on the move. Did have a good look around one at the summer SW&Wales run. Very fine looking cars. 8)
 
Styling not to everyones taste I admit and I would not spend £100K on one but would like to see the same technology built into the Z4
