September is the current estimate.
Not technically mine any more but the last one I have of it.
Now sold to a guy up in Aberdeen, plate went with it so any locals look out for AR12 GTR!

Yeah it's longer than I expected, probably wouldn't have sold the GTR so soon if I had known.
Currently insured on 3 other cars though, mainly driving an old Subaru forester xt but work with my old man most days and drive his new range rover around to sites and meetings.

Any reason for parking in the disabled bay?
Haha I was waiting for someone to pickup on that
The salesman told me to leave it there as every space was taken, I felt bad parking there though
Damn and blast

In the middle of an emergency stop crunch up. Pootling home from the girlfriend's house last night, horrible conditions lots of standing water so I was in full saintly driving mode or so I thought. Focus in front of me emergency stops for literally no reason whatsoever, I go into him but just a tap then a young girl in a Mini smashes hard into me bunching it all up a bit further. Actually lifted my car almost off the ground in between the cars.
Called the fuzz because the guy at the front was just constantly apologising and saying 'I don't know what happened', thought it odd. Not sure what he was up to but after a chat in the back of the police car he's getting done for Driving without Due Care & Attention. Unfortunately doesn't mean anything for me though, I still just about hit him so will go down as my fault. Absolutely gutting and heart wrenching to see it taken away this morning!

Gutted for ya.
Was bonnet undamaged?
I think so, the front impact was less brutal and there's a lot of bumper on the Z4. I think structurally it's all sound, but won't know until it's properly assessed. Bits like the auto levelling xenon sensors, parking sensors etc. etc. are what might push it into silly money to repair though. Really really don't want it written off.
If it's anything like my old rica mapped 850 T5, it'll destroy anything right up until it rains, at which point you learn the true meaning of wheelspin
The S60 T5 is brilliant value for money though, and that looks like a good one.

I did fancy one of these as a cheap car when my work car goes back due to Bhp per quid but increased my budget for a mazda 3 mps now but they are good bombproof cars my friend had a s60 t5r and loved it.
Yeh prob faster after 0-60 due to the 4wd on the r but a remapped r from rica would be a different kettle of fish
You can't just remap an R, you can damage the engine because it has thinner bore liners, I was told this by a remapping company when I had mine, Duno how true it is but I know they go to 360 bhp, they would be an absolute weapon
After lots of thinking that I need a more practical car and then not finding anything I liked much I decided to keep my MX5.
Then decided if I was going to keep a 2 seater why not make it a bit more special.
So ended up with an s2K. Absolutely love it however only one crappy phone pic so far
