Any owners on here ?
Need a cab back in my life and with Z4 and E3o cab prices
not a million miles apart now, I'm getting sorely tempted.

This one for example, looks the part but what are they like
to live with/drive/maintain etc.

......and yes, I know that will not be the end price.

Just get a car with a big sunroof, not only can you get sunburn on your head/neck but you can also have a decent driving experience! :D

Dan, most of the decent "driving" roads round here
are not best suited to big old barges.
Sunroof or not. :D Pony, I ain't got time to save 10 longun's.





T hank's for the input though chaps, it's only taken the best part
of a month for a reponse.

My wife had one and I never really loved driving it. The rock hard suspension and run flat tyres didnt suit our back roads, on motorways it you could feel it tram line sometimes.

What size Wheels were you using, out of interest?

BTW, thanks to Barry, Pete and Andy for the info on
the other thread. :thumb:

I was aware of the the roof motor problem, didn't know the cure for it though. Had also noticed, on a lot of for sale ads, that several
fairly low mileage cars had had steering components renewed, which was/is slightly concerning.
