Default My New Daily Driver...

First time away from Jap cars in 6 years, and have to say, I'm not missing Jap build quality

Hope you like, and yes, if anyone fancies a short back and sides just pm me lol! (our Border Collie Cerys managed to sneak in too!! )











Loving things so far, except the damn run flats - they'll be getting changed!

Sure is - really weird though, had turbos the last 6 years and a linear power delivery is very strange after turbo shove LOL! Doesn't feel as quick but when you look down at the speedo you see it is!

Sounds like a good excuse to wear out the rears quickly then

Petem95 - As for the rears, they are the most worn, its got nearly new fronts on, but I can see what you suggest happening

Tidgy - lol, I've actually let more people out than ever since getting it!!! Maybe I'm trying to hard to keep out of the stereotype!

Audi - nope I've always used my indicators and always will, I was just lucky the original owner spec'd it with that option

Graham - The Boxster did appeal - a lot - but I just couldn't overlook how much more spec you were getting on a newer car with less mileage, for almost as good a drive.

Of all the modern Beemers - I think the Z4 is the most successful. Very nice car. I would seriously consider one myself (I would agree that the bloody awful run flats have to go though).

I hired a Z4 2.2L (I think!!!)auto, for the day, as an anniversary present for my wife who loves them to bits.
I was surprised at the fact I quite liked it, I was also pleasantly surprised by the big car feel too.
Still managed to get the rear out on it and control it quite nicely round a roundabout
