Deposit placed, can't wait till next week :)

Post by GingerNinja » Wed Aug 20, 2014 12:18 am

Thought I'd say a big hello.

Picking up my 07 roadster next week, can't wait :D

I've had a mk 2.5 MX5 for the last 5 years and thoroughly enjoyed it but I'm tired of the lack of grunt and refinements, so I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with the Z.

Well she's all mine, can't stop grinning :-)
Picked her up yesterday from Peterbrough and enjoyed a nice long drive back to sunny Shropshire.
After the trip she's a little mucky, so after a good rinse off I'll post some pics.

Sounds great. Bet you'll find a big difference between the MX5 and Z4

Look forward to seeing the specs and some photos

The difference in performance between the Z an MX is like night and day. The MX was great but to get anything out of it you really have to wring it's neck.
The torque of the Z is just FAB.

I've gone for the 3.0si.
There's just no real negative, same tax as the MX, very little difference in the insurance & is anything better fuel economy.
Just the parts are more expensive.

Great choice. You'll certainly feel the difference in that massive step up

As above pictures please :thumbsup:

I have driven both. The mx5 is a lot of fun but the zed with the 3.0l is so much more fun :thumbsup:
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

Thought it was time for some photos, I've still not had chance to give her a spruce up yet, so I'll add some sparkly pics later :-)
