Like a big kid
OK so now that I've found my dealer and 'trusted' sales person, know my spec etc. the only little niggle was the wife! She wasn't 100% sure if the Z4 was for us, after mentioning this to Andy he's' only gone that extra mile and sorted out a 3 hour test drive for me tomorrow so that I can make sure that the wife is 100% happy with me getting one

Re: Like a big kid
U could always get a new wife or less if she is the one paying for it.
I'm lucky my wife is petrol head like me, I've gone out before and bought cars and bikes without her knowing lol.

Re: Like a big kid
Just one question.... What the hell has the wife got to do with a bloke buying a sports car?
P.S - my last two have been red and she never even noticed when I swapped

My missus has given up trying to have a say in stuff like this a long time ago!! As long as the bills are paid and there's money for a couple of family hols a year it's all good.

Re: Like a big kid
I seem to be in a minority. My wife loves the zed and has talked me into buying each of the three that I've owned!
That's not to say that I don't love zeds as well.

Re: Like a big kid
My wife pretends it's an unnecessary indulgence that she disapproves of, but I know she loves it really. She loves the way it looks and gets almost as much of a buzz from hooning as I do, even though she doesn't drive it. And she prefers the current one to my last as it's on stock suspension and is therefore Bentley smooth in comparison
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin

Re: Like a big kid
Well she doesn't drive and TBH I'm getting one even if she doesn't like it lol...I only asked her to come thinking I was being nice by involving her!
I was however a little shocked last night when I mentioned the test drive and her reply was "It's going to be embarrassing"!!! A little confused I asked what is?, "Driving around in it"!!!, even more confused thinking what's embarrassing about driving around in a £30k+ BMW sports car, I asked why? "When we're stopped at the lights with the roof down everyone looking thinking look at them posing gits", I replied with 'well you've got two choices, you don't have to go in it'...and then left the room quickly
