I know you! Well not really!

I see you at Sainsburys Watchmoor Park on a Saturday sometimes! I probably sound really freaky but im not!!

I noticed your car a few times recently cause it is my perfect spec Z4MC.

Do you remember seeing that E92 M3 drive by slowly in Sainsbury 2 weeks ago?

That was me!

Please tell me i have the right person after all this!

I'm not the owner either but I'm Camberley based ... I'll give you both a wave if I see you, I'll either be in a C55 or 348GTC!

I'm sure the owner will be very pleased that you referred to her as a guy...

I am picking my Z4MR up Sunday and I work in Camberley.

Seems like we are going to have to have a mini meet! smile

I do remember seeing your M3, and very nice it was too, silver from memory. I remember saying to my girlfriend 'see, even someone driving a brand new M3 notices my car'. Sad eh?!

As for the comment about a guy driving, I only saw the top of 'his' head from a few car lengths behind, and obviously jumped to the wrong conclusion. Sorry!

Hopefully we will all be able to have a drink and a chat at the first local meet up smile

Well to be totally honest the M3 wasn't mine - I was just driving my bro's car that morning!

However I do indeed have a lovely 993 and been looking at getting a Z4MC for a while now. Just out of interest, is that the car from Barons in Farnborough? If not they had an identical one to yours and it looked stunning.... I am interested to know how ownership is going though.

Tell your brother me and the missus liked his car then! A 993 is not a bad substitute though smile

Yes, I did get my car from Barons, the ownership experience is good, I've had no reason to regret chopping in my Boxster. It's much meaner and quicker than the Boxster, not as smooth handling but I like the more manly experience. I've had far more attention with the Z4M, some good and some not so good.

I thought it was going to be a very rare car, but it appears this is not going to be the case! smile

Think I've seen that reg at my work in TVP, Reading?

(The Z4MR)

I'm hoping to get my E46 M3 in the next week or so, so BIG M meet?

I have seen the Black Roadster a few more times and I can confirm it is definitely driven by a female! I must remember to smile next time smile

Did I see you again in Ascot on Saturday gone? If not then some one was driving your car! driving

Anyway - I think i just bought a car identical to yours but with the Champagne interior!! I'll be looking out for you even more now - not that im stalking you! Ownership still ok? I test drove the grey car at Coopers Cobham on Saturday - not the car for me but a superb drive. I could see it being rather tricky in the wet. Any tank slappers or worse yet?

Nope, wasn't me in Ascot, what didn't you like about the grey car? Have you now bought the Champagne one? As for mine, the longer I have it, the more I like it. It really is a fantastic machine. Look forward to seeing yours around and some pics. By the way, have you ventured over the Z4-forum.com? Definitely worth a look when you join the M club!

P.S. What is a tank slapper? smile

Think the term is actually associated with motorbikes.Its difficult to explain but consider it 'having a moment'.....

Have you had any moments with the back end in the dry? Or wet? I can jsut see it being a bit tail happy thats all!

To be honest, I'm happy driving within the limits, going round bends anyway! Not really got the confidence or ability to be letting the tail wag, and certainly don't want my pride and joy to end up a in a hedge biggrin

You can't have a "tank slapper" unless you're on two wheels. It can happen on a motorbike when the front wheel goes light (getting on the gas) and you hit a bump, or another situation is landing a wheelie with the bars slightly crossed. Bumps in the road can also contribute. It causes rapid swings of the handle bars from left to right, and you end up slapping the petrol tank with your torso before (normally) crashing, although its possible to cancel it if you've got skill, luck, and balls the size of coconuts.

Click here for a good example (not good for the rider though): http://www.metacafe.com/watch/176949/tank_slapper/

Ha ha. That's me.

Only just seen this thread - I don't really do car chat!

I think I saw you pulling out from Park Road at the roundabout onto Frimley Rd this morning.


***ETA: I DO NOT LIVE IN OR ANYWHERE NEAR CAMBERLEY!!***

Looks like I am joining a thriving Camberley M club.

Changing the family bus (535d) for an M3 saloon - picking up on Friday.
