Hi all, purchased my 2004 3.0i roadster over 4 months ago now and can say I'm absolutely thrilled with not only the way it performs but how good it looks for its age. I've only got hot hatches to compare it with tbh and having come from a fiesta st2 and an Audi s1 can say it's comfortably the best all rounder for smiles. Although I must say the foesta was probably one of the most engaging/ fun cars I've ever driven, and at the price point in not surprised there so popular. As for the s1 that had the outright pace and the classy Audi cabin you exspect but just lacked that driver involvement which the z4 has in bunches.
Already carried out a back box delete on the car (I know some of you may cringe) but it sounds amazing!!
And just yesterday swapped out the old Bridgestone run flats for michelins pilot sport 4s so can't report on the difference yet as there's snow everywhere up here at the moment so I'm just crawling along.
Cheers Woody.

I am in Fort William but am regularly up in Inverness as my parents live on the Black Isle.
Loads of runs out in Scotland as well. Hope to see you out at a meet or if you are going for a run give me a shout (when the weather is a bit better )
The Loch Ness road was okay this morning but over the hill was a bit patchy early on.

I'm heading up your way in May en route to the NC500. We are going to drive up from the north west up through fort William and staying on the north shore of Loch Ness at the clansman hotel before tackling the route. Any tips for stops etc greatly received.AlfaScozzesi wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2017 9:06 pmI am in Fort William but am regularly up in Inverness as my parents live on the Black Isle.

On the way up you could do the Kinloch "ring" which is good and then on your way to the Clansman turn off at Invergarry as if to Kyle and when you get to the T junction turn right and back into the Loch Ness Road and your hotel.jamesditchy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2017 9:13 pmI'm heading up your way in May en route to the NC500.

From there it really is the NC500 route but if your not bothered from starting at the castle then at Drum over the hill and through Beauly etc to the Ullapool road is better.
Hope you have a good run. Have done sections but never in a single trip. One of the problems of living here is that you never make the time!
