So, thanks to the great welcome and my heart ruling my head, I am now a Z3 owner.

Special shout out to the extremely helpful @yocky z3 2.0 - I may not have looked at everything we discussed, but I definitely felt better prepared to have a good look round.

I may have got a bit giddy as soon as I saw it and couldn't wait for the chap to get the exhaust fixed, so used it as a bargaining chip on the price instead and drove it away that afternoon.

So chuffed I managed to get the much sought-after grey, so all-in-all I reckon it was a good price.

I think I am going to treat it to an early "big" service and thorough search for points of worry, so if anyone can recommend a garage near Barnsley, I would be interested.

Hopefully attached is my first picture of it.

I haven't decided what tweaks I am going to make yet, but I'm sure I'll see plenty of inspiration on here. :cool:

Congrats on your new Z but can't see the pic, I have made a few teaks to mine :D
 
Nice choice
 
Great looking Zed, love the colour. :thumbsup: Definitely need some spacers on those rear wheels.
 
Glad you got the colour you were after, I have to say it is a very nice colour too;) What engine size did you go for? You're not a million miles away from the ZedShed (Midlands).

Thanks - I ended up with a 1.9 - Persuaded myself that I should be all about the economy... :D

That's great mate. Being a Roadster first and foremost is what it's all about.
If you would like to visit the Zedshed to service it you'll be made more than welcome. A couple of regulars are from your neck of the woods.

Very nice, Eibach springs and spacers would be a first for me, shicks will more then likely need replacing at the same time, another job for us at Tony's

I fear some of you may tempt me to get carries away before I've even established whether I have bought a reliable zed... =))
 
I've seen a whole lot of beige hoods in Florida but not so many over here. I imagine they're slightly cooler inside the car in a hot climate?
