Well its gone
On Saturday I picked my new car a Porsche Boxster GTS so the Z has gone , usually I dont look back but will admit that at some levels felt a bit sad , If I had the money & space I would have thrown a dust sheet over it and and kept it because whilst they might never be a classic they are a pretty special thing.
I will also say I have enjoyed my time on this forum it seems to consist mainly of nice people and it has been entertaining & informative & being honest I will probally still look to see how things are going
Cheers
Charlie

Re: Well its gone
I have now had 4 z4's (2xe86,2xe89) so time for a change , briefly thought about an M4 but I dont need a car that big so I looked around and decided that a boxster would fit the bill , and so far im quite pleased when I can remember how will post a photo

Re: Well its gone

Re: Well its gone
The E89 can be stunning from certain angles but dare i say ugly from others .
I think the current Boxster & Cayman creations are both sublime in looks & the interiors make me seriously consider taking out some finance .
I know i could love either

Re: Well its gone
That new Cayman is gorgeous.... What a stunning car.
The side vent and body line has made all the difference to the look.
Its a car on the list when the drop into my price bracket (in about 10 years!!!)....

Re: Well its gone
Love the look of the Porsche - but none of the convertibles have a powered roof, do they? Its one of the best comfort features of the e89.
