Gersen

Yeah I can have that effect on those with a delicate constitution I would but I'll be about 30 miles from Monza that day - I'm driving to Italy for work rather than flying just to spend some quality time with the Z Fair enough! Oh and You know that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Ark is actually opened? Are you sure you want to see them? Come on you can do better than that! How bout this..... "You will join us or Fido takes a dirt nap" Too pushy?

I just meant in terms of performance, chassis stiffness and weight rather than feeling anything like the same. I get a general on the road feeling that they'd put in a very similar lap. Contentious I know - but it's grown on me and I bought one - if I was just looking to turn heads I'd dress like Carmen Miranda....again First time I saw one in the flesh was at an importers and they were lined up like sardines and pretty shabby to boot - a fairly soul destroying experience. The next one I saw in the flesh is parked on my drive now. Boxster S and RX8 are great drivers cars....ignore them at your peril RX8 was just too underpowered for me and the Boxster S was the front runner....until I drove the Z. Boxster S is still quicker round a track btw. Mostly court mandated prescription anti-psychotics since I bit the postman again Happy to be aboard btw and I loiter in the Southampton area so will probably turn up to a meet if there's one in the neighborhood.

She's a 1932 model according to the guy I bought her from - he worked out of an old phone box and had a somewhat eclectic dress sense but he can't of been all bad as he said he was some sort of medical professional - although I think that him putting it as "Saving mankind from DALEKS" was a bit thick. Frankly I've never even heard of it although it may be a variant of SARS. Nov 03 on a 53 plate......excuse my sense of humour btw! Yeah from the way she drives I think she's going to behave much like a 911 on track and I am dying to find out cheers for the warm welcome all Tom

Bought this little number last week. A UK GT Coupe with Rays. I finally parted with my beloved (and somewhat non standard) MR2 Turbo and began a search for the next thing. Shortlist was a Boxster S, Chimaera, RX-8, STI-R, Evo 8 and various others - frankly the 350Z was only on the list as it was around the right cost and age....but it was pretty low down on it due to the weight and looks. Test drove one and instantly fell in love (as soon as the traction control was off anyway). She's sadly slower than the MR2 but as a package out of the box I can't be anything other than impressed by the outright grip, chassis rigidity and poise and third gear is just a revelation I'll be off to Monza in a couple of weeks and Folembray in July so I'm much looking forward to find out if she behaves as well as I expect on the track. So, hello to everyone - happy to be aboard Tom
