Hello From Sunny Shaw

Post by Vegas » Sat Sep 16, 2017 10:15 am

Hi all.

I've been lurking in the forums for a while now having bought GreyZed,s E85 3.0i roadster back in April. At the time I was also looking at the usual Honda S2000 and Boxster but spotted GreyZeds advert and headed up to the North East and promptly became a Z4 owner.

With most cars, the more I drive them the more bored I become but its been the opposite with this car and as some have said on the forum, driving them is an event.

These forums are such a great source of information and help and everyone seems really friendly.

GreyZed said as I was about to set off that the one thing he wanted to do with the car was put quad exhausts on it. Having read Mikes latest post, I might even be tempted to 'finish the job.'

Many thanks for reading if you made it this far,

Steve

Ok think I've worked out how to attach the photos so should be a touch bigger.

Aye it sure is wet and miserable most of the time Taz but for me, the biggest problem is the amount of speed humps which the Z really doesn't like.

It does however like a good blast up past Nont Sarah's. :D

I do plan on attending some meets so will look forward to meeting some of you.
