I'm going to England in a few wees time, just a whistle stop visit for 4 days. Really looking forward to seeing some old friends. Will be a blast.

Shall return with mucho twiglets.

Had it for a whole week now and LOVE it!

 

edit: Had to laugh after looking at these..if you look in the background on one of the pics you can see the neighbors' Lamborghini Gallardo convertible.....OK it isn't his, he just does the detailing...nice motor tho eh?

OK so after much deliberating yesterday I've decided to forget about a BMW....I just can't justify spending that kind of money when we have so many other bills to pay right now. Instead I've been looking at a VW GTI: lots of performance for half the price of a beemer. Sat in one this morning, will test drive tomorrow after I've returned the Z4.

At work all day again today.....................................ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So my once venerable BMW 528i started giving me problems a few months ago...sunk 1000's of dollars into it, the last straw being a strut failing last week. New pair was quoted being 1700 bux so I told the dealer to keep the car, I'd use it as a trade for something "different".

I'd once owned a Z3 convertible, was a great little motor but I was tired of driving it on the freeways and upgraded (downgraded?) to a 4 door.

So now I am thinking  convertible again. Hell I live in Southern California, its almost Summer again...Enjoy life right? Saw a nice 2005 Z4 in the BMW lot, they gave me a good trade-in, Bob's your uncle, I drive home in a nice convertible............

 

So I have been very happy with the car, except I noticed that the hood is slightly misaligned..upon very close inspection it looks like it's had a paint job, so I returned it to the dealer...Things like this should be disclosed at ime of sale so the dealership was very accomodating, basically giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want: return the car or ask for some kind of compensation. I told them that I would use the weekend to figure it out........
