Re: Fecking 'ell !!!!
Drove past their showroom every day for 10 years on my way to and from work. They always had a good selection of head turners but never once saw a Z8 . Now in Spain so no chance

Can you post a link to the page as I've search for it but it does'nt appear in the FB search results.
Perhaps we could also have a link to it from the forum home page.

First Spanish wave
First decent run out since we moved to Spain and straight away nice wave from a spanish silver 3ltr Z3 in La Aljorra, Murcia, only 10 minutes from home. Roof down in January, sun shining, open road, wave from a fellow Zedder. Life doesn't get much better me thinks.

Software piracy is illegal, I'm sure the moderators will be along soon to reinforce that it is not condoned here. I know.
