# 26

[RickyBobby]

Met up with a Z4Forum member this morning at Friar Tucks near Clumber Park (becoming a regular stop for me so I can confidently reccommend the small breakfast with tea & toast for £6).

I turned up in an E85 and left with an E86 - so that's my 26th Zed and 5th E86 - are you keeping up

Jesus man, you'll have had every Z in the UK soon

Nice

A coupe, just when Spring is upon us! Oh sorry , no doubt you'll get a soft top in a few weeks.
I do like the E86 though Garrie.

 

[Pond]

I see you got Stuart's one. He's a diamond of a chap. I have a LOT of time for that man.

 

[Stevo7682]

Your need to seek professional help Garrie


Oh and nice new car

No I sold # 25 last month - told you you need to keep up

All good Garrie, running nicely after charging some coils. They don't like being sat in a garage for months on end

Good to hear and like you say out is always better than in

Yesterday morning I parked up next to the lad who bought the 20i I used to own.

 

[bombur]

Had to re-read this and that you parked up, not bought

Looks very nice, I would have loved to buy an E86 but with 6'5ft it's absolutely impossible to drive. Enjoy it

So that's the first weekend with the coupe after swapping it for the Z4MR on Friday.

Got a couple of spirited drives out in the Peaks under the belt and managed to swap out the grilles for OEM and swap the whippy for a stubby.

Jury's still out on the 230's as I think I'd prefer silver wheels so I'm going to try a set of MV2's next week before I make up my mind.

Have to say I'm very impressed with the auto box (this being the first one I've had) and there's no denying these E86's are photogenic - but I already knew that as this is my 5th coupe

The Auto is a pleasure to drive.

Tony.

Picked up a set of MV2's from a fellow Z4Forum member this morning. As suspected I prefer the silver wheels against the Black Sapphire bodywork so I will get a for sale advert sorted for the style 230's.

Gave them a quick test run out in the Peaks just to make sure

Much better IMHO.

Can #27 be an SLK or Fiat Spider or something please, just for a bit of variety?

 

[Scooblitz]

Looks nice. New wheels defo an improvement.
How you finding the autobox and flappy paddles?
