Wheels are 100% replicas although nearly everyone corrects me and say they are genuine. They aren't and I have the receipt for the purchase in the history file. Lovely things nonetheless.
She's booked in for service and MOT on Wednesday, partly because the MOT expiring in November keeps coming up in conversation with people getting in touch and partly because my enthusiasm for selling is waning.
Have been to see a tonne of porsches now and they all sort of leave me cold...whereas I cannot walk away from my Z without looking back at it and smiling to myself about how fortunate I am. Awesome underestimated and under valued cars in my opinion. Porsche's I've looked at and test driven range from £15k to £36k and to be honest they're not doing enough for me, quite a compliment to the Z.
Initial plans to sell on have become more like you'll be needing to prise the keys out of my hands

If they’re not making you look back then they ain’t for you.

Slight thread hijack, but can I ask which Porsches you've test driven, just curious
I've also got an itch for a Porsche, but keen to hear your feedback.villageroads

996 and 997 C2 manual coupes. They're a bit refined coming from the Z, definitely fast and just a little faster but the sensation of speed is different. Of all of them I'm leaning towards 3.4 996 C2 and trying to find one with the fried egg lights rather than the face lift. Not everybody's choice

Is this a thing? Sellers remorse before it's sold
Looking forward to getting it back this week, what was meant to be a routine inspection 2 service (turns no adjustment required as all within tollerance ) I've decided to go further. Total bill will be £1500-1700 once I have put some tyres on the rear too, we found one has a small piece of metal in it, holding pressure fine but expect that to come up as advisory so will replace both.
Some cosmetic, badges etc. Some preventative maintenance. Probably not the actions of someone who is selling now. Plan is to get it back, take it for a nice long day out to remind myself why I bought it in the first place and then probably take the advert down.
That is a great looking car!
I am actually in the process of selling a 996 C4S Cab in Carmon Red, and was considering the z4m as a replacement. I can't back out of the auction now as Live and finishing this evening. Maybe there could be an opportunity if you like mine here!
