Afford has nothing to do with it, you either want a convertible, or a two seater saloon. :poke:

this post is still in the wrong place. :thumbsdown:

It's in the right place as E86 is the coupe reference.

Or buy both.... And then after you have done that, buy a ZMR and a ZMC...

Then......you can at least make an informed decision on which is best :thumbsup:

6 1/2 years. Picked it up 18 month old with only 2800 miles on the clock. Have only done 44k in it myself. No plans to change anytime soon.
Coupe - Montego Blue. 108's, simplest mod - second medical box :-)

The journey so far;
i) 1998 Ford Focus 1.8 Litre
ii) The Z
iii) what else is needed?

Bought to do one family holiday in, have now done 4 so I guess that's 4.5 years.
Not bad for a 'weekend car' that I was supposed to own for a few months.
Did think about an E89 especially when I saw Metallicker's new one, but I will stick with this one for a while longer
Redzed coupe gone but not forgotten :? , Lotus Evora providing the smiles now :driving:
