Spotted on Sunday 3 October a Blade coupe at Portimao Autodroma in the Algarve!! We went to the track to have a look as we hadn't been there before. Very impressive circuit!! There was some bike racing on and the wife asked if I wanted to go in to watch it I said I wasnt too bothered, by the time I got back from car to get me camera she had bought a couple of tickets............................................at the princely sum of 2 Euro's each!!!!!!!!!!

Before we went away, spotted an Ebisu with Nismo wing and other bits. 05 reg, I think it was Friday evening 24 Sept on Greville Rd Warwick.

oops!!

Sorry, couldn't resist that one!!!

Is that Lemington, home of the Lemmings!!!

Spotted on Monday about 2.30pm, an Azure roadster in Felixstowe with personalised plates. Gave a wave and he nodded back! Tuesday morning spotted a GM coupe on A46 travelling south near to Leamington/Kenilworth turning at about 10.30.

Spotted a GM coupe on Monday about midday heading towards Tarbes on A64.

 

carried on to the A46.

 

didnt recognise any of them

I've seen the Blade around Warwick before, I think.

Is he waving at you, by the way?!

Spotted between J5 & J6 of M6 southbound at about 1.15pm yesterday. SW05 reg.

Spotted a lady driving a GM roadster yesterday about 11.30 near to island at Chester Rd & Kingsbury Rd B'ham. 09 reg.

What do you think of your 370Z, Chris. I have an 04 coupe so would have the same 'step up' as you have experienced.

Just interested on your views as am considering changing.

 

Cheers

IMO there is a massive difference between the older 350z and the 370z. The 370 is tigher, grippier and has way more grunt than the 350. Its just better in every respect, you just dont realise how much until you get it somewhere like a track or good driving roads like North Wales. Well worth the step up if you have the cash available

Thanks for the feedback, Chris. I did drive the car last year at the Nissan Race Academy at Silverstone and was very impressed, but it is always good to hear from someone who has parted with their cash and bought one!

If you goto http://www.nissan.co.uk > Sports Cars (top right) > 370z roadster > Car Builder (middle right), then you can spec one in that colour

 

This is the colour I think you are talking about - http://www.nissanpress.co.uk/press_site/photos/370z_roadster_2010/ext/NMGB_003_10-.jpg

Cheers Chris. I was looking in the coupe part of the website carbuilder and wrongly assumed that the same colours were available.

Hunt it down and get it carded.

Yes, Sir!!

The roadster does come in a dark reddish brown in the UK, its called Black Rose, and is in most of the advertising literature for the roadster

Ah, right. Haven't seen the colour before and doesn't appear to be in the on-line Nissan brochure.

Anyway, it looked good. Although I still love my 350Z, I do like the 370Z looks.

In maroon colour. Is that a UK spec? Driving up the Parade in Leamington Spa on Saturday afternoon. Looked very nice!

 

Maroon? Interesting sure it wasn't a sort of reddish brown

Metalic? Maroon sounds import colour?

Yes, you could descibe it as reddish brown. It is still not a UK colour though, is it?

I followed this morning from the new housing development at Humber Road Coventry to Binley Rd. GM with LED rear lights. Reg BT53***.

Last Friday evening I spotted a midnight blue coupe in the station car park. Didn't get the year. It was about 8.15pm.

Sunday morning on the side of the road on Cape Road in Warwick. 04 reg.

Last Saturday spotted a black GT-R in Cheltenham shopping centre. On bank holiday Monday spotted a black coupe in Coventry then another blade import at Stoneleigh by A46. Then last night a 56 reg GM roadster in Cape Road car park Warwick about 8.00pm.

I think that most probably was you then, Matt. I was in the wifes Civic as there was 4 of us.

What do you think of the 370? The more I see of them the more I think it makes my 350 look dated!

Could it have been me??

Do you have personalised plate? If so, I think it was you.

 

 

What, like the one in his sig

Might not be what he actually has on the car, though!! As most ppl dont publish their reg.

Over the weekend whilst driving up to the Lakes saw an Azure roadster on M6 Southbound on Friday morning around the toll road area I think. Then further north on M6 spotted an UY Coupe on southbound carriageway.

On Sunday morning spotted a red GT-R which I think was on the A590 north of Morecambe Bay. Finally followed a black 370Z down the M6 on late Monday afternoon.

Dead common cars!!!

Spotted on Saturday morning about 11.00am. Coming out of leek Wootton towards Warwick. MK55 ***.

Parked in Holiday Inn car park Solihull on Saturday morning. MX55 reg. Might be employee as was parked well away from all the other cars.

Both spotted on Tuesday. GM pulling out of a factory on Bayton Rd Coventry, 54 reg I think. Then in the afternoon a Blade on A444 near to Gallagher Retail park Coventry about 5.00pm.
