Do I count as a Newbie?

[Redline]

Have been on the site a while as my better half @Gail has had a Z4 since christmas last year. I've been a member by proxy only.

I agreed to buy my own Z4 on Sunday and it arrived today, so, officially, I'm the oldest newbie in town.
I posted a couple of pics of the car Sunday, but, here are a couple more. There will be plenty (with the roof down of course) in the near future, I'm sure.

I found that the car does have bluetooth prep too - that's one thing less to spend money on. The seller never used it, didn't know it existed - Result

I can even get it onto the drive over the mountainous pavement without grounding it at the front - needs to be angled carefully and slowly! Result again



Now the domestic 'Whose got the best Zed' competition starts

I like that car Ian it really looks good in that colour. Re who's is best at our house, I currently have the best Z4 and Z3 !!

Welcome Ian,

It's great that you are now able to officially introduce yourself

Welcome from central Canada Ian! Watch your keys, @Gail may just want to try it out!! Great looking car by the way! JIM

Hello and welcome Redline. ( The oldest newbie in town ) That's one lovely looking motor to be proud of.

What I did was get a mate of mine to run over the curb and pavement with a 40 ton Peterbilt truck a few times.
That did the trick.........

 

[Gail]

There will be no competition here....they are different but will be enjoyed equally.

He had better let me have a key @oldcarman because he has driven mine numerous times so I have some catching up to do.

 

[Redline]

Gonna be a fight over the keys

I drove Gail's car every day - fifteen backwards and then fifteen feet forwards

Thank you - I'd been waiting for a 3.0L in these colours to come up. Nice to get it noticed.

Would a full refuse truck do the trick? I'll just put a diversion up on Wednesdays.

What was I supposed to do? My car had no fuel in it

Have you asked the local council to lower the curb/pavement?
I did and was quit willing to pay the 500 they wanted to do it, they came and measured up and wait for it..........sorry Sir but you are 5 cm short from your front wall to the pavement. There was a Merc C220 parked there at the time when they did it.......

So, plan B, my mates truck.......

Hi and welcome officially @Redline
Your Z is beautiful
Luv the colour

I'll remember that next time mine needs filling up.....and no I won't be taking your Chelsea tractor instead

If you need a plan B - Use it. Why waste the effort with a Plan A

 

[hard top]

It was all their effort @Redline, as I wanted to do it properly, plan A, I just stood there and watched......

Welcome to the forum Ian.....I think! As I said earlier, if you need any help with photos just shout up!
