Nice to hear.
I will be on a business trip as of 03.jul till 14.jul in Dartford. As I will spend the weekend there as well it would be nice if I can join any Cars & Coffee meeting or something like this on the weekend 08./09.jul.
Unfortunaly I will not travel with my own car, but be flexible with a rental car (most of the times a Vauxhall Astra ).
If you know any meeting out of the Z4 community it would be more than welcome. Otherwise i found this event which might be an option as it is close by.

I'd met Andy previously but very briefly at a meet so a chance for a proper chat was most welcome, and a very pleasant hour and a half it was too mate, especially when I think we sing from the same hymn sheet...
I've fired a few PM's Andy's way at various points to get his opinion on car stuff and always got a level well balanced view point, as we all know he's canny and knows his stuff.
I've met some great people on here through meets etc, long may it continue.

Hmmmm..that's fairly tragic isn't it.. Well there was a big 4x4 in the next bay so I went as far from that as possible, but yes, that's hopeless parking...

Not at all - it's defensive parking! With a monster 4x4 on the left and a motorcycle on the right I would done exactly the same (well maybe straight perhaps)!
Anyway regardless of the parking, this is a great thread that seems to highlight one of the real benefits of being on the forum.
Coupes because stunning!

Nice one guys
I've had the privilege of meeting John through the forum as well and viewing his cars very nice they are too.
Are they the refurbished wheels John ?

I meant to say that if anyone was coming down here for the Lions tour of NZ they could look me up, but I don't think anyone joined the tour from here?
