Oh no. This is getting stupid. I have spotted a 2007 130i M LE with 12,500 miles at £15K. Many thanks for the many welcome, this is one friendly place.... not sure if I deserve them though in case I leave the brand before joining it....

Sounds good. I really lke the colour, it works well on this particualr car (but not on many others). I take it those prices were not subject to VAT to start with ?

Did you get yourself sorted in the end? No. Things have changed for us as a family. We are going back to the UK (long story) so I'll be renting L lenses for the Motorsport jobs I have to do, Le Mans Series mainly. I'll buy a 300mm L F/4 when prices go back to "normal" level. Have you found a Z ? How much?

Wow, thanks for the welcome. All I need is the car now... I just got a quote for £377 with Elephant with a £350 excess, protected NCB, which is really good TBH.

Hi sweetheart, Did you sell the lens in the end ? Nick

Hi there. It looks like I will be buying a 350Z in the weeks to come as they are becoming seriously cheap. I am looking at a 2004 UK GT for around £11K / £12K depending on mileage. If anyone's selling, feel free to contact me. I nearly bought one when the came out to replace my 98 2.5 Boxster but the lack of rear seats did not work for me at the time. It's either that or a 130i M SPORT or a 2003 FL 2.7 Boxster for similar money. I have a few questions: TRACTION IN THE WET I have driven one at Bedford several times and while it was fine in the dry, the wet weather traction was very very low. If felt like it would not get any heat in the tyres. It was a major issue. Maybe this was down to the fact that I had the very tractable low torque Boxster then and I don't know what tyres it had but is it specific to a particular tyre or down to the way it's set up ? Are there any tyres that will improve wet traction, even at the detriment of outright dry grip ? CONSUMABLES I know it's really dependent on driving style but what can I expect in terms of MPG, brake pads / brake disks / clutch / tyres life expectancy ? INSURANCE I used to pay £500 for the Boxster (£400 excess, 40 years old next week, 8 years NCB, no points, "safe" area). Is the Z likely to be more ? Thanks a lot. Nick
