I quite often spot a couple of Sterling grey E85's coming out of Walsall around 7:15am towards the M6 J10 when I'm on my way home from work. One is a 2.0 with what looks like 16" wheels the other is a 3.0. Both have their whippys.
E85. 2.5i SE. 2004. Sterling grey, anthracite 107s, black leather heated seats, hardtop, sound gen retrofit, matt black grills, stubby, zhp, cupholders retrofit, roof motor in boot.

Black E86 on the A1 heading North. Parked up in the lay-by just before the A52 turn off.

LA07*** anyone here?

Had just washed the car and thought it needed a bit of extra drying :D

Coming from a Smart Roadster, where I got excited at maybe seeing one other on the road every two months if I was lucky, I got equally as excited on seeing a Z4 today, a grey one in the traffic going into Tunbridge Wells. Didn't have it's hood down in the sunshine like I did though.

I then saw a lowered blue one a bit further down the line of traffic. Both failed to see me with the hood down and coolly acknowledging them with frantic waving - and it was then I realised I am not in a car rarer than most supercars, and they are not always driven by people daft enough to put the hood down when it is only about 5 degrees but sunny, or enthusiastic enough to wave back!

More or less agree! I do a ton of miles and I'll see a Zed maybe 2 times a week on average. I too wave (although not too frantically!!) sometimes flash the lights. Not had a 'return reponce' as of yet. Although increasingly many of them are on the opposite side of the motorway! Would be great to see another member on the road!

I've seen this one, it's a pretty savage dent.

I go along Plymouth Rd a lot, always a few Z's about. Not many coupes in Plymouth, there's a grey one like mine owned by a guy who works for Save On Tyres and a black one out near Argyle. If you see me my plate is R6 :)

There is a grey coupe couple of roads along from my place, never caught the plate, will try and have a gander.

I do see quite a few E85 and E89 around Plymouth, very few E86. Will keep my eyes out for you, my plate ends FXX and the roof will always be down! 8)
