New member in SoCal

Post by sandsini » Wed Aug 07, 2013 8:04 pm

Greetings all!

I am a new Z4 owner having just purchased a 2003 3.0. I commute on the Southern California freeways (the notorious 405) about 64 miles round trip, so the car is perfectly equipped for me with the Steptronic. I am replacing a 2012 VW GTI (no more car payments) and the new Z4 will share garage space with my 87 Porsche 930. I have already gleaned tons of valuable information from the site and hope to become a regular here.

Here's a pic of my Merlot Red 3.0:

Hope I got the link right...

Cheers,
Eric

Welcome, Southern California is ideal for having a roadster.Plenty of sunshine to make the most of your Z4.The GAS is a dam sight cheaper as well in the U.S. compared to the U,K. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the nice welcome, and thanks, Stuart, for linking the pic for me.

So, to use the bbcode from Flicker, do I just paste it in the body of the message?

(Edit) Okay, I figured it out: Here's the Zed's garage mate:

Thanks everyone! I love the car and am taking it on a trek through the Central California costal mountains and inland foothills next week with some of my old car buddies. We are going to visit the Carmel Street Concours (part of the Pebble Beach event), and then are taking three days to blast over some of the most amazing roads in the state. I have already replaced the tires and have scheduled time to do a good safety inspection and fluid change this weekend. It should be very fun.

Cheers,
Eric
