Great looking motor, if I hadnt bought a TF 160, would have been round for a chat.

Good luck with the sale.

It isnt the best time to sell it , I know , but its priced to reflect that .
I only use it during nice top down weather and only for long journeys to North Wales to see my ageing auntie and to visit friends up north , which amounted to 2000 miles this year , as much as I like the car it doesnt make sense to keep it for so little use specially now as I have my bus pass :smart:

Apart from saving money on petrol etc the thing I noticed the most is how stress free taking the bus/tube is. Enjoy yours when you get it .

Think its admitting to getting old!!!!!

Tempted by the fact you dont have to pay for parking, but Bournemouth town centre is dead. We live 5 minutes away from Castle Point, crap parking but has all the shops.

Have 3 cars and to be honest have to just go for a drive out to keep them all free and working.

Keep the Z4, bet its 2000 miles of fun driving, much better than jumping on a bus!!!!

Thats what I found with buying the TF, even with the great weather we had this summer, something always seems to come up and stop the top down fun.

Had the grand kids stay, so that scuppered a week or so, our mad dog mistook my hand for his Winnie the Poo, 3 foot cuddly toy, that was 2 weeks + without driving anything!!!

But when we do go out, top down, its worth it.

Lucky where we are, have the New Forest 10 miles away, or the Purbeck Hills 15 miles, all great driving places.

That was the back end of Lymington, where we found a Wetherspoons Pub, £7.95 all you can eat Chinese on a Tuesday. £5.95 carvery Monday, take all day to get there on a bus!!!
