Yes it was the longest wait in history in sure but as I always said
'patience is a virtue'................. its here................do you think im happy???? Gave it a quick wash and here are some photos I took today.......         And the last time these will be seen together...............  I will probably do the usual to it - Smoked Indicators & Repeaters Angel Eyes Possibly a Black Grill (not quite made my mind up about this yet) But first to go will be the ORANGE BULBS  But apart form that its perfection and I love it!!  -------------  |

Congrats Issy, it really is a lovely thing. The BEST thing about it has to be the pumpy up seat bolsters, when you let the air out, it sounds like a lorry stopping in the High Street. Oh aye, it goes like a scolded cat aswell !! ------------- |

Looks very nice, think a black grill (and surround) would suit that colour very well. Actually like the colour a lot - very distinctive. Bet you'll enjoy driving it once you can peel yourself off the boot-lid.  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped..

That is a lovely colour  I've seen a Z4 in that colour a few months ago and would love to have one in that colour. Not sure my quiet, shy retiring personality could cope with it though! ------------- E85 Z4 3.0i SE Roadster - titanium silver, black leather, 202 Ellipsoids |
