Llandow Track Day Thursday 25th Oct 2018
- Thread starter Andyk
- Start date
OK - I've messaged Andy and I'll turn up in the Z4. You're welcome to have a look around, but bear in mind
a) It is the wife's so I'm not supposed to crash it
b) it is the coupe so any hairdressing inclinations you have will not be met.
c) There'll be loads of pesky CaymanS's in the way on the straights
It's the coupe I'm looking for, not for sale is it?
You take me for a spin around the track in that and I'll return the favour in my car. Can't say fairer than that!

My mate had a red Z4m he regretted selling it and try to buy it back , but the guy wouldn’t sell it to him . There are quick but my standard z4 3.0 wasn’t that much slower than his and my cayman is much quicker than that, so I don’t think we will be holding you up but will be a interesting comparison . I have a soft spot for the Z4 .this was mine .

They're all for sale, for the right price
To be honest, for what we use the car for (shopping/commuting) the standard 3.0 would be a better bet - the M was chosen as we thought it would hold value better, which it has, but it isn't the easiest thing to drive around town. After a couple of years it might be time to move it on, and I do fancy a Cayman, or perhaps a GT86, or GolfR, or...... etc

Hi guys... work has been kinda mental the last few months - barely at home mental - which would explain why a strange time lapse has happened since my last post in July. If I can stay on the maybe end of the spectrum for now that would be great, I would love to come but I don't know if I'll be in the country at the mo which is kinda 101 requirement for attending. Hope this doesn't mess anyone around too much. 102 requirement is that the Masser is broken... and I don't think a 14 year old diesel Range Rover is going to cut it...
Will update asap but please don't hold a space for me as such. If I can make it happen I will. Now if someone could just pause time between now and mid November so I didn't have to cram 2 days of work into every 1 that would be ace...

Indeed 2nd that thanks Andy for organising as always....top job.
I've just noticed I'm at a 'Future of Cloud' roadshow on the Thursday at the Williams F1 Centre in Grove which should be fun. Halfway to Llandow as well so confirms my place now as no point coming back from there!
I'll have to call my son at 5am on Friday from Chepstow to wish him well for his Porto FC school football trip
