Hello! (G'day) from Melbourne!

Post by Trehan_Silva_1997_ » Mon Feb 20, 2017 3:56 pm

Hello all!

I first came to be aware of the z4-forum during my long (nigh on year :tumbleweed: ) search for a well looked after and well loved Z4, for my VERY first car, (I fell in love with them years ago when I received a lift in one :D :driving: :thumbsup: ) down here in mercurial (seriously the weather is madness down here) Melbourne, Australia.
Such knowledge did I gain that I swore I would join the moment I finally acquired my baby
...well I've found and had him (indeed, my Zed is a HIM!) for just under 3 months now and feel it is my duty and honour to make a first post!

Without further yammering on my part (I do that a lot I'll be frank) allow me to introduce myself, and my car Zander!

Based on a TV programme we have here called "Escape Down Under" I can't believe it rained in Australia! But then I was in Melbourne in October 2010 and it was about 8 degrees C - had to get some weather gear in Victoria Market!

Anyway, enjoy your Z4 OP - just don't hoon! :lol:

Well unless you know some quiet back-roads. :roll: And don't go for it on Holiday weekends with the doubled fines!

How do you guys put up with that sort of cr*p? :lol:
Coupes because stunning!
