Here's some piccies

I hope the 370Z I'm about to pick up on 1st Sep is as comfortable

7days 17hrs 51mins

Only 9 more sleeps to go, slowly, very slowly gettink there

Thanks for the welcomes folks, seems a nice place to be Got your PM Al I'll see ya soon no doubt

The RX-8 can give a good account of it'self, especially in the twisties even up against some meatier competition It's a great car and if I could afford to I would keep it simply as a fun/track car, but alas she has to go

Getting very excited now, but as someone said to me, not in the trouser department yet Just trying to take it day by day and keeping myself busy.

10 more sleeps to go

Went through similar when searching for my new toy, it seems you either get, what you think is a great new price but sh1t P/X or pay just under ticket and get the feeling of a great P/X, all dealers do this.

I did see the Chorley dealer advertising the 370 GT with Sat Nav for under 29k, great price if you're trading in a scrapper and take Nissans 0% deal, although they said that this was for "Loyalty customers only"

Hi,

Thought I would drop in and say hello. Pick up a new 370Z GT on 1st September and can't wait. It's in Ebisu Met Black, GT pack, Connect Premium, mats and door entry illumination

I'm trading in my 06 BB 231 RX-8, a great car, had it since new and before we get all the urban myths and QI alarms, no it doesn't drink oil, it drives like a go kart and is the equal to most cars in the twisties.

It's slightly modified

Looking forward to Z ownership and gleaming some info off of this forums members

I won't start the newbie's typical thousands of Q's on my "hello" thread, currently I'm a moderator on the UK RX8 OC, so know my way about forums.

Anyway, glad to be here
