What every prospective Z4 owner needs to know

I have four beani hats. Two for the hills and the other two for driving roadsters. Never tried a baseball cap. Not me at all. :P

Yep that was exactly me until I retired - both sports cars had beani hat and neck buff. That was until I retired and started to get out more during the day. Driving from bright sunshine into full shade of trees, or the sun 'flickering' through tree trunks and branches in spring and late autumn and sun glasses didn't cut it. I got my first baseball cap and the long peak really does keep the sun out of your eyes - no need for sun glasses so I don't get that sun flash or the red haze from the blood in my eyes.

Don't get me wrong I hate it even though it does work. I can't feel the wind in my hair (why you have a sports car!) and I just look like a sad old man 'trin t get down wi da boyz'... but there's one under the drivers seat in both cars just in case. With beani and neck buff jammed between the seat and inner sill for when my ears fall off in winter!

This is what you need, best of both worlds..

I bought this item off ebay years ago in my MX5 days. Never got round to wearing it though. Mainly out of fear of being arrested I think...IMG_20201215_195223.jpg
Maybe not arrested, but certainly approached I would suggest by these wholesome fun-loving chaps....

Oh you so do not know me :lol: i think I'd rather go blind than be seen with one of them :x that's what old men (who wear socks and sandals) use when teeing off into the sun ...... but of course that's just me and my view!
 
Nothing wrong with socks n saddles..preferably with sub knee length shorts...height of sartorial elegance IMHO... :thumbsup:

Strangely SWMBO differs to the point where she won’t accompany me if I go out dressed like that.. :tumbleweed:

I live in New Hampshire, in the U.S. While running with the top down all Summer I have be careful not to glance up. Why? Woof off goes the ball cap when the wind catches the bill. I keep a spare on hand, under the seat, or behind the passenger seat. I don't want sunburn on the dome. :driving:

My wife and I use lanyards attached to the back of our caps when running roofless in the Z

Frigging iPad auto corrector..at least they weren’t made by Bentley..the sandals that is.. :tumbleweed: :thumbsdown: :thumbsup: :headbang:
 
Yep that's exactly the look I associate with the visor - 'socially offence practical'

I'm with your other half about thisBlack-Socks1.jpg

and with long trousers the look just turns into 'geography teacher'
