I'm not sure exactly when my car was built, but likely around Easter 2014 when I was driving my £900 eBay MR2 Roadster to the French Alps via Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland.
By the time the Z was registered in May 2014 my MR2 was exploding while doing 90 (I mean 70) on the M6 near Warrington. No phone signal and got picked up by the police while trying to walk somewhere so I could call for help. At the time I lived in Exeter and was not a member of a breakdown service so it was a long and expensive day, but made infinitely better by a brilliant AA man who found a scrapyard that would take my car on the promise that I'd send on the V5 and then gave me a lift to the train station.
Still yet to find a car that's as much fun to drive.

In 2003 when my zed was built I was charging around Europe in this '96 Montreal Blue E36 323i coupe. Bought in '99 at 3 years old and with 30k on the clock it saw service until 2016 and 231k miles later when it was t-boned by some tw@t who claimed not to have seen the lights turn red for him. drrrp.
Before it got biffed it was still going strong, compression within factory spec, everything still worked and it was supremely comfortable sitting at 110mph on the autobahns on my regular blasts between Hamburg and Utrecht.
Never expected to hold on to it for so long but you know what they say; if it aint broke don't fix it....until it's broke, and then buy a zed
