Finally got one! Ruby black coupe

Post by Mky77 » Mon Jul 17, 2023 9:29 pm

Hi everyone,
I’ve had a few posts here with regards to finding the right car and now I have I thought I’d formally introduce myself.
Thanks to everyone that gave me input which helped me finally get this baby.
Ruby black, black leather, xenon’s, cruise, csl’s, beaded hoses. Really clean underneath and 34k miles.

Cheers.
It was 8pm by the time I finished polishing and waxing so hopefully it will stay dry tonight and be sunny in the morning !!
I expect it will be an obsession trying to keep it clean.

Keeping it clean was a challenge too far for me. :roll:

The car looks stunning. Never thought I'd like graphite grey alloys on a black coupe, but it suits it wonderfully. Are they 18s or 19s? I honestly can't tell. :thumbsup:

Yeah I wasn’t sure until I saw them and think they look great. Not sure on blue callipers though. I’ll try and decide on a colour for them and do during the winter hibernation .

18” and think I’ll stick with them rather than go 19”.

Can’t believe how nice these cars look in real life. Pictures don’t do them justice or at least mine don’t 😂

Had a good road thrashing earlier and loving it!

Hmm,… your opening post proclaims the car comes with ‘Beaded hoses’?.. did you mean braided? :poke: Or maybe ‘breaded’ :rofl:

Welcome to the forum, you’ll have to get use to the banter :rofl: :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
