Z4MR - Nearly there!

Post by Sparkybrum » Sun Feb 07, 2016 3:51 pm

Pleased to announce to the forum that I've just shaken hands on a deal to purchase Mr Wilkes glorious Z4MR!

If all goes to plan I'll be taking ownership next Saturday with a long drive back down to Brum through the Peak District. Peace talks with the wife are ongoing but I'm not anticipating any deviation from the plan.

Roll on Spring when I can hopefully meet up with a few members out on the road!

:D

Welcome. You have a got yourself a lovely looking car and I am sure you are going to have a great Summer. :thumbsup:

At least buying such a well known car you may get away with it posting any new member photos.................. But I doubt it :D

A long week ahead for you!

I've come to the conclusion you don't need a service book buying off the forum! Just read the past few years of threads to know what's been wrapped in cotton wool! Looking forward to being the custodian for a few years!
