Hi All.

Recently new to Z4 ownership. The car belongs to my wife. We bought it for her as a daily drive and for weekend fun. She was enduring my hand me down 2009 Mondeo tit x sport which I had racked up over 200k miles on for a couple of years while I enjoyed my new car, 2015 Audi A6 3.0tdi 272bhp Quattro black edition with super sports interior!

I think you will agree my wife deserved better! Our neighbour has a 56 plate Z4 2.5Si roadster. They have owned it since it was 3 years old. They won’t sell it as they say there is nothing better to replace it with.

I previously owned a Porsche Boxster 3.2 S. it’s was great. I loved it. It was very expensive to buy and own. My neighbour offered me a drive of their car. I was so impressed, one week later we owned one! I cannot believe the value for money and driver satisfaction for this car.

I also enjoy fixing cars (most times!). Second day of ownership of Ted the Zed, it broke down. Toolbox time. Diagnosed as a faulty number 6 cylinder injector, investigated and fount fault to be a loose connection. Fixed and roared into life.

I’m a real driving enthusiast and enjoy advanced driving with the training to back it up. Windy roads and limit point analysis is my bag! When not driving cars I can be found in either my racing glider at 140kts or teaching others to fly in a training glider.

Happy to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs help with their car.

Thanks you. My grandparents lived in Bognor. I spent my whole childhood there during school holidays. His boat was kept in Littlehampton Marine. Love Bognor!

Hi @ASW20GliderBoy,:welcome: to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. I was a glider pilot back in the day, my last one was a Cirrus. Then went of to do my SLMGPPL and flew a Falke for a few years. Not flown for many years now though, so I class myself as a 'non current' pilot:(

Nice. We have a Rotax Falke at our club. I don’t have a SLMG rating yet but it’s next on my list. Was planning to do that this year. That won’t be happening now. Will have to wait until next year. I currently own an ASW20BL.
