  1. I saw this a couple weeks ago, one would assume that because it is advertised on a motor enthusiast forum the owner would know his/ her cars exact statistics. Face-palm :p

     

    I do quite like that flip paint though, its different! the text alone would put me off going to see that car though even if it was what I was looking for,

  2. I'm looking for a 350z as the title says, at the moment I'm waiting for the right one. Yesterday I traveled 400 miles to view two zeds, but when I got there the conditions were poor! I figured I'm more likely to get a well looked after motor from the enthusiasts on here.

     

    If you are considering selling your zed, please let me know!

     

    What I am looking for:

    • Coupe only
    • Low mileage (below 70k)
    • Any colour
    • Preferably GT spec/ heated leather seats

    Budget top end £7,000

  3. Whilst looking for a ballast for my kitchen skirting/ pelmet lights I found a lot of these types of LED.

     

    My question... what are your plans to do with these? I guess you could have them under the steering rack & glovebox so the footwells are illuminated?

  4. Just thought I should share this, I was about to go and purchase a zed about two weeks before somebody got there before I did and bought it! I was saving quotes so that if the purchase was sucessfull I could send payment on my phone and drive it back.

     

    A little about me, I'm 24, male, 5yr ncb (6 in a month or two).

     

    Quotes were coming back around the £400 mark from most insurers, however Miss Exec kept asking if I could add her on the policy, which is only fair as I've been borrowing her car whilst I'm car-less.

     

    So I added her on, which bumped quotes to £600. Her stats are similar to mine, age, ncb etc. Anyhow I looked further at variables I could legally tweak. I hadn't changed relationship to civil partner/ co-habitee! so I did, quotes came back at £350 :)

     

    With further experiments I took her off and added my mother, 25yr+ ncb, this increased it quite drastically. Needless to say she isn't staying on.

     

     

    So make some tweaks if you can people, if you have moved in with a partner they could well lower insurance!

     

    P.S - this quote is cheaper than what it would cost me to drive a 160hp BMW 320d

    (I use this to justify why I want a 3.5l sports coupe)

  5. I would have done the same and explained why. I remember doing it before when I saw some school kids bouncing a ball off the rear of my Car! It was a cheap shed but that's not the point ! Iv since moved to a nicer and quieter end of town :p

  6. I've been lurking on these forums for over a year, now I've bit the bullet and sold my car and I am on a hunt for a Zed!

     

    There seems to be cars coming and going all the time so I am waiting for the right one.

    Ideally I would like heated leather seats (I am a fan of the orange ones), manual, gunmetal colour, sub 70k miles, things such as rays and parking sensors are a bonus.

     

    Budget around 6.5k, I am looking on autotrader/ ebay/ gumtree and of course this forum everyday.

     

    Wish me luck in this exciting time! :)

  7. A few weeks ago, I test drove a 350z and ever since I have been lurking this forum.

     

    Only thing that is holding me back at this point is I'm buying a house very shortly (with a garage for the 'Z'). Only thing which put me off initially was the interior quality, aside from that I thought it was brilliant. Currently driving a BMW 320d e90, short drive to work everyday and company car once I'm there so I'm itching to get something a little less economic.

     

    I feel it is only a matter of time! I keep checking up on a nice 06' which is for sale not far from me, wrapped in a dark pearlescent grey wrap (I wonder what the paintwork underneath is like)

     

    Did express my feelings toward this car to my friends who didn't seem best pleased as we take it in turns to drive to the local quiz and they wouldn't fit in the car haha
