hype

Saw it mentioned in a couple of threads on here so thought I'd share this. Had a discussion when insuring my previous car about how the location where the vehicle is kept over night affects your premium. I'd always heard that it actually costs more to insure if garaged overnight than if it was on the street, but never really believed it. After a bit of adjustment to my online quote (with Admiral I think) these were the results. All details were kept the same except the overnight location. Pretty interesting I thought...

Funny that we've all been looking at similar models before choosing the zed, namely any M variant BMW. I checked out a couple of M6 and M5s - loved the E60 M5 but reports of 8mpg put me off. Went out for a spin fairly late last night in the zed, and once again absolutely know I made the right choice.

I could've written your post three months ago. I was looking for either an E92 M3 (never E90, just looks wrong) - or a 370z - on a similar budget to yours. The truth is you'll be looking at a higher-mileage M3 from a private seller, for around the same price as a lower mileage 370 from a dealer. And I didn't fancy the M3 running costs either. All I can say is that after a whole 4 days of ownership of a 370z GT I have no doubt that I made the right decision (see http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82463-new-and-very-happy-370-owner-pics-inside/). Good luck with whatever choice you make.

It is yes. From what I've read up (on this forum I think) it doesn't mean much in terms of spec, other than the suede seats and European sat-nav. My must-haves when looking for the 370 were a manual gearbox, sat-nav and it had to be black. I had to give up on the colour front as couldn't find one suitable. In an ideal world it would be black with anthracite wheels - so nice looking car you have there...

Thanks all. Plans? Get rid of the ungainly tax disc holder first. You can't see it in the pics but it's huge. I also like the look of the blacked out front grill (fangs?), maybe black wrapping the roof as I did with the Z4, and at some point a cat back exhaust would be nice, or at the very least a new back box and pipes. I think I'd like something more vocal. To be honest I'm more than happy to enjoy it as is for now.

Evening all, I've been looking for a 370 for a number of months now, and finally picked up my 59 plate GT on Saturday. First impressions are brilliant, clocked up about 200 miles over the weekend and have loved every single one. I've always had a soft spot for a fast Nissan since lusting after both the 200sx and 300z in my early motoring years - I still can't believe I've joined the club. Anyway, here's a few ropey pics - they were taken in Sainsbury's car park this afternoon so excuse the quality. And to kick things off there's a pic of my previous motor, a Z4 coupe, which was also an absolute joy... The old zed... The new zed...
