Chesterfield

Well that was the shortest lived dabble with getting back in the Z game then.

So, Ive been away from the fold for quite some time, and Im well out of touch with the Z scene. Ive recently sold my "toy" car, and as per usual it doesnt take long before I've got the bug to get another one, even though I said I'd give it a couple of years. The usual wrestling between heart and head over the sort of cars I wanted to replace the toy with began, and then we got the bank holiday heatwave. The posts on facebook from the club at Japefest looked great and the Mrs and I both recalled the fun times with the club several years ago. Even spotted my old car on the pics. So, fast forward and we both thought that we could justify a 370z roadster. In no way was the alcohol on the most sunny bank holiday for decades influencing this decision. When we saw that they have recently announced the new 370z in an almost candy apple "infra" red colour that looks very similar to the wifes twingo that she loves, that more or less sealed the deal. Then I popped into our local Nissan garage. No 370z in sight, and I was told that they are only sold from specifc outlets. I knew this used to be the case for the GTR - I guess it still is, but is this now the case for the Z too? I was told the nearest one from their franchise was in Scotland, but one from another franchise may be located in Leeds - Im in Chesterfield. Am I really into having to travel to a special dealer to buy a 370? Also, when trying to price one up or specify one online, I cant find any price list which includes the roaster, nor does it appear on the configurator? Do Nissan still sell the roadster in the UK?
