Just saw a Z8 in CT!!

[Gregmeister]

Hey Guys. Just saw a Z8 in downtown Cape Town, by the CITCC. First time I ever lay eyes on this car in real life. Had a quick chat to the owner/ driver and he said there are only about 2 in the country. This one was absolutely perfect. Told him about the fanatics...maybe he'll look us up...unfortunately could not get a pic as we were in moving traffic. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR....sorry again no pic...

You have just failed us on so many levels. I demand you perform seppuku.

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

I agree! Complete failure!

Need to see one of these in real life!! raise:

Was this the car http://www.exoticspotter.com/car-pictures/17153/bmw_z8

I think this is an epic car, on Top Gear they made it out to be a flop.

 

[Philip Foglar]

In reality it was a huge failure, and going according to what Top Gear demonstrated, handles like a pig! But such an awesome looking car - have always loved the looks!

Yep, instant disembowelment - we need more! :rollsmile:

Notice how similar those wheels are to the old E46 330i wheels...

I dont think too much of the Z8.

Just my 2 cents

 

[Seether]

:yuck:

 

[Onyx]

Never been a fan...

 

[E30 Freak]

I saw it in Adderley St last year as well, but thought I was imagining, thanks for confirming I aint crazy

 

[Philip Foglar]

It's a funny thing, when they first came out I was always drooling when I saw pictures of them - never seen one in the flesh. But it has a styling that aged very quickly and as such not always that well liked. By today's standards it looks very clumsy looking to me, but they are pretty rare nonetheless, so awesome to see!

imp:
Must confess, also not a fan. :nono:

:idea: Maybe if he decides to join he can give us all a ride, and try to change our minds :excited:

 

[Caddy101]

Never been a fan of the Z8. The looks weren't quite crisp and I thought the car lacked personality...

Just my 99 cents

 

[Philip Foglar]

Have you guys seen what Clarkson all had to say about it on TG? Let's just say he is not a fan too! :rollsmile:

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Ha! Ha! Yeah, saw that 1! Classic

 

[Philip Foglar]

Ha! Ha! Yeah, saw that 1! Classic

And iirc that was the original one and then a heavily modified one (in the attempt to improve the original car's failings...) :nonono:

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

The other was an Alpina modified 1 if Im not mistaken. Possibly the only Alpina EVER to come out with less power then the BMW counterpart.

The comments comming out of the Top Gear twats mouth's hold absolutely no value in my world.I just watch it to see the latest cars.Its like skipping through a book and looking only at the pictures to me.
