Love child..... please. I've looked at a couple of Z4's and thought here was more room and better finished inside than the S2k, but I missed the vtec thrill and wouldn't pay the extra for the bmw badge, even with an employee discount.

I'm 6'1 and find the Z4 Coupe slightly snug, if you like a straight leg driving position you might find it a bit cramped, I'd say it had a bit more room than the S2000, but not much

Can't actually bring myself to buy a beemer don't know why, it's like Porsche, I just don't like them even though I know they're good cars.

Even though I've actually tried quite a few BMs this last few years (Z4M, 135i Conv, 335d etc.), I still kinda know what you mean.... (and I always bought the Beemers pretty much for the engines which are invariably at or near the top of the class in most segments). Especially about Porsches - I've driven literally thousands of miles in a Cayenne Turbo and many hundreds in 911s (friends' cars), and whilst having enjoyed said miles and appreciating the excellence of the product in general. I've just never felt drawn enough to Porsche to actually go out and buy one.......

If you're gonna buy a huge dildo, at least make sure it's the M version.

You'd look a right limp dick without it...

Glad you enjoyed the Evostick (and the S2000).

Also, I agree about Honda; nice while it lasted...
So I suppose the choice all boils down to whether one wants to look a dick or a cock??

(I figure that the likelihood is that future Honda goodies have merely been 'placed on ice' as opposed to having been abandoned altogether)
