Last week Roscoe and I went for a little drive and ended up at MK Nissan, not for and maintenance, just for a poke around anything interesting and for a price check for a broken part Roscoe has.
Well the car park was full of Qashqui's and Juke's, with a few Note's and Micra's. We thought "the good stuff must be in the show room". How wrong were we! Just more Juke's and Qashqui's! Nothing that remotely resembled a Zed or GTR. I thought there would be at least one!
None the less we went out back to the parts counter, the part in question, the small black splitter at the bottom of standard bumpers, that screws into the under tray. This is where the game started, the assistant/mechanic obviously know what Nissan prices are like so he laughed and said, "take a guess... Excluding VAT".
Roscoe said £60 and I £100 thinking this was way over. WRONG. It's was something in the region of £147 excl. tax! He even said you don't want to buy that, "go and take a look on the forecourt and see if any of the Micra or Note ones are the same"
Feeling like this whole place was a joke, I cheekily asked, "is this a Qashqui and Juke specialist?"
"It's just what everyone wants"
So after a bit of revving in the car park of our Zed's, 1 cat back cobra & 1 HFC's, we made our way out for another drive. Coming across the Nissan Technology Centre in Cranfield.
We pulled up for a bit and by this time it must have been clocking off time, as Juke after Juke after Juke after Qashqui after Juke left the Tech Centre! I suppose it was a long shot to get a glimpse of the 350z GT-S they built there, that's even if it is still there... Who knows??
All in all some good drives, a Juke showroom and a Juke Technology Centre
