I’ve just noticed that I’ve been a member here for fifteen years!
Where has the time gone?
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Congratulations! You intrigued me to look and I’m similar at 16 years! The forum has made Z ownership a pleasure and in the early days was one of the reasons I decided to keep the car a lifer.

There remains some familiar names - I’ve seen some enthusiastic members disappear along with some mighty spats over the years - but mainly it’s been a good place for me :thumbsup:

Can't remember now Ron, think it's been some years since she has been on here. All I remember were the first turbulent weeks :lol:

All fondly looked back on :)

Thank you for making me feel young. 😁

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Likewise,Paddy.
Not been keeping too great since last September,as such not even washed my z in months,as opposed to most weekends.
Only using it to go for Groceries etc and taking my son out when I can.
Not organised any of my usual Scottish runs as a result.
Looking forward to catching up with you soon,as always mate :thumbsup:

Hope all is good with you,and your family mate
