Yes it was the longest wait in history in sure but as I always said 'patience is a virtue'................. its here................do you think im happy????



Gave it a quick wash and here are some photos I took today.......

















And the last time these will be seen together...............



I will probably do the usual to it -

Smoked Indicators & Repeaters
Angel Eyes
Possibly a Black Grill (not quite made my mind up about this yet)
But first to go will be the ORANGE BULBS

But apart form that its perfection and I love it!!

Congrats Issy, it really is a lovely thing. The BEST thing about it has to be the pumpy up seat bolsters, when you let the air out, it sounds like a lorry stopping in the High Street.

Oh aye, it goes like a scolded cat aswell !!

Looks very nice, think a black grill (and surround) would suit that colour very well. Actually like the colour a lot - very distinctive.
Bet you'll enjoy driving it once you can peel yourself off the boot-lid.

That is a lovely colour

I've seen a Z4 in that colour a few months ago and would love to have one in that colour. Not sure my quiet, shy retiring personality could cope with it though!

Thanks guys ........you all know that I am quite hysterical about it at the moment! I just am loving it soooooooooooooo much!

Anyway Tommy of course you can have a shot.....form an orderly queue!
