Lee did you look at the z3m?
I have always like the z3m tbh when ive seen them at shows doing donuts & showing off!! but i just prefered a slightly newer version, but the z3m is a hairy motor from what ive read! smile

Looks like a very nice motor Lee.

I went from a M3 to the Cerb, the BMW is a lot easier to live with than a TVR but dare I say it... A bit joyless frown

But there well built motors, I hope your Z4 lives up to your expectations.

So what's your new name going to be... Z4Mlee ? hehe

Sorry that you're leaving Lee, unfortunately that makes two of us. I've always been particularly fond of your car. It sits on the right wheels, great stance, and in one of the most beautiful colours TVR ever offered IMHO. Hoping you have many happy and trouble free miles in the M.

Thanks for the kind words about the car Rob, have you got rid of yours then or are you about to? frown

As you've now seen on the other thread, she's about to go, once the Tuscan is prepped and ready. It maybe in time for the BNG, if not then it will be a last fitting run out for the Cerbera. I'm still not sure it's the right thing to do, it's almost like selling a child!

Same here Paul, it was great to meet you too & you have certainly experienced the full on cerbera ownership! & you keep an open mind which stands you in good stead, thanks Lee smile

That says more about the people in the Transit than the person in the Z4.

Good luck with the Z4 Lee.

Don't worry about the colour - black cars don't actually get any dirtier, it's just people with other colours are happy to have dirty cars that just don't look it. wink

Besides - I'm sure you will be back in a TVR one day.

Thanks very much Andy, you cant beat a nice clean black car though as you well know! smile

I think you could be onto something regarding another TVR one day, they do get under your skin.

Cheers smile
