Urgent! Help needed: Z4MC for magazine photoshoot today!

It was a big one, but in their defence it sounded like they were very organised, they just got let down by an owner yesterday. With so few M Coupes around it was always going to be tough to find a replacement at such short notice.
You're quite right, I'd forgotten they'd been let down. Retracting the comment!

I'm in South London if they want to do separate photos this afternoon or early tomorrow. Interlagos and standard except for stubby aerial...

It seems nuts to change the entire article for the sake of a day. We could really use the publicity as a model I think. Annoying.

Thanks Breezer and Gus (who just text me), I've just spoken to the deputy editor and we've had a result! My (or someone elses) wanted post on Pistonheads came up trumps and late last night we had a Z4MC volunteer come forward who went direct to the magazine.

So, look out for a feature in a forthcoming Classic and Sports Car magazine. 8) :thumbsup:

Yeah, that's really badly written when it comes to the roadster...
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Previous... 3.0Si Sport Roadster, Black Sapphire, Dream Red leather with lots of toys and lots of mods...

And I seem to recall it's factually incorrect too.

@JAD
Yes, I see a few mistakes in that article (run flats, ARB bushes and all the nonsense about the Roadster!), hopefully this one will be good. :)

Maybe the guy that pulled out got cold feet after seeing a previous copy of said mag with feature cars going sideways in a cloud of pilot sport smoke :D

Didn't see you in Tunbridge Wells today? Shame you wanted a coupe, it was real hood-down weather in sunny Tunny!

Classic and Sports Car Magazine, it's mentioned on the front cover, along the top strip, something like 300bhp Coupes? :)
