Hi everyone, sorry i've not been around for quite some time. Had some personal issue's and the TF had issue's all last year, Anyway i finally managed to fix the TF, It was the lower cog fastened to the Crank shaft that was at fault so had to get a new cog and make sure it was mega tight as the crank had also worn. Anyway, I traded the TF about 3/4 week ago after about 5 yrs of ownership and 110,000 miles it was time to say goodbye  . I was quite sad to see it go as it's been a brill car and i'll never knock it. New Car is a BMW Z4 3.0SI Sport, absolutely love it ;D Build quality is superb and far superior to the TF. Performance is stunnin with 265bhp standard and 0-60 around 5.7 seconds and restricted to 155 it's a serious blast to drive ;D A few pics when i picked it up (pics really dont do it justice esp the size of the engine)     |

Bet it's not looking quite that clean n shiny any more!  I'm really glad you're happy with it, and don't forget to give us lowly MG drivers a wave (of the polite variety  ) as you fly past us blinding us with your halogens  |

lol, it's a sod to keep clean but i'm back to my usual washin and polishin every 5 mins ;D right now it's a little grubby cos i've been out in the rain again but all will be well again after a midweek wash ;D Hey nobody ever waved when i had the mg so there aint much point wavin now unless i want the finger back lol  gonna miss the runs though but i guess i never went on many last yr and mgfest has finished i believe? new Z4 forums look ok for lookin stuff up and "for sale" stuff and help but not so sure i'll be goin down the "meets" route with them, plus i'm still a member of nw-roadsters so any car is welcome so i'm ok to stick with them for the runs  would be nice to see a few people again though  |

Guvs yeah i'm lucky to be a member of the "roadster" club cos i still get to see the people i knew when i had the mg and go on runs with them totally different type of people on the "Z" forums and it's more worldwide |
