Hello
I have bought a coupe and after having driven it for North Yorkshire home to Edinburgh I am very happy with it.

It is a Monaco blue 3.0 sport in really good order, I did a PX on a Porsche and I have to say although I enjoyed the Porsche the Z4 is just as enjoyable and in may ways a better car.

I will add some photos in due course.

I have been using the forum for a few weeks now and I am impressed with the content and look forward to being an active member

It was a 1998 911 996, the first of the water cooled engines

I had it for 2 years and enjoyed the car although there are some horror stories online about engine failures
