Ebized

Trip up through Wales from our overnight stay in Merthyr Tydfil, including the 'mountain road' (A4069) to a stop at the Owls Nest just south of Llandovery:Then we had a stalker:So or course, one of our number had to follow suit After that it was on to the Elan Valley and the infamous hairpin....Quite liked these ones of Humpy And he may be little and the photos don't show it but Andy one the prize for hanging his tail out the most More to follow in Part II

Meet up at Cobham Services for a convoy into Wales: Oh, just to re-assure Keyser that it was not his new acquisition that had broken down The sign gives the route away Catching AmyZed There she is! and her front end too Strange holograms on Ken's car Laid back Mike The snappers snapped! Passports at the ready No doubt this Shell station hit its VP targets that day! Nice bag Bob, and all lit up End of Day 1

A great 36 minute worth Andy & Lydia - just a fraction of the time you guys hung around for us in less than ideal weather - particularly that first visit to the Triangle Awesome stuff guys

Good news! Good to hear there are genuine peeps still out there willing to do the right thing and kudos to you for giving the lad and his dad a chance to make good.

Then I saw your signature.............

First 370's I saw in the UK - on their way back to ? from the F of S at Goodwood in 2009. Little did I know then that UK56 ZED would be not be with me into 2010.

then but I would get the number one status for the oldest mod How these thread titles can fool you

Brilliant pics again - always looking forward to seeing the pics you guys take and have to say Modjo is matching your photo skills Adrian :clap: Looking forward the next lot of pics still to come on this thread............

Not sure I agree with that statement. Its introduction in 2009 was preceeded by massive press release and all sorts of rumours about what it would look like and feature. Then Nissan offered the chance to drive them at Silverstone on track and on the surrounding roads but I had to pull a lot of strings to get a place in September with that test confirming the the car looked the business (I also had doubts on that front from the pics - like many others) and they handled/drove as well as the 350. Trying to buy one from the first batch that arrived in 2009 was near on impossible I recall, until I struck very lucky to spot a web advert from a dealer for their 68 mile demonstrator in late November 2009 just as the ad popped up on the web. Rang and secured the sale with a £500 deposit but had to wait until the end of December to take it off the dealer (Nissan stipulation). The salesman said that he could have sold my 370 10 times over, but the fact he also got a damn fine 350 in p/x helped secure the deal In winter no less. But with the rescession biting even harder in 2010-2011 and the electric/green lobby having their way was really the death-knell of sales ever reaching 350 levels. But what pleasantly surprises me is thst despite the often negative comparison comments with Z4's/Caymans etc it does seem that the relatively low numbers is the reason s/h prices are holding up so well - in fact I would say that after nearly 4.5 years the residual value of mine now is about the same as the 3 year old 350 that I traded in for the 370 so no doubt the rareity value is a bonus for us owners

advantage of being ilittle

+1 the recession and tax hike hit all big engined cars I agree. But you still see tons of late M3's, M5's, AMG's etc. I think most buyers spending between £30k and £60k go for German cars. As Kev says, recession took its toll on sales and let's face it with family's making cut backs the 'luxury' of buying sports car was off the agenda. Yes, sales of 4 seater cars suffered too, even the luxury wagons like M3s, M5s, AMGs and the like but then those able to afford those (or their companies) were generally less affected by the cut backs others with less income had to make, IMO.

......at the expense of mbs who celebrates is 68 birthday today - you have made my day, but hope yours is an even better one celebrated with the odd the shandy - maybe the malt variety, eh?

Only 40? Oh, to be so young Enjoy the arrival into your fifth decade

Moved to the 370 forum

I might be wrong but I don't think oil coolers are fitted to UK 370's - except the Nismo version maybe?

Just down the road from me

Credit to you both for standing out in that weather and to get so many great pics

Expect Graham is a bit miffed he does not have that one in his sat-nav "Left at the next T junction, then round the roundabout, follow the road for 536.7 miles and park up there on the left"

Belated birthday wishes guys - so who has the biggest headache - probably Dave pricing up that Jag replacement

Also just got back this afternoon - with some extra 1070 miles on the clock since leaving home last Thursday, and then with the 900 odd miles for the recce, GUNs has had some good execise this year in Wales . Ever so glad I had the MPSS fitted - the car was absolutely awesome in the wet/damp conditions - far, far better than anything I have previously experienced with the 'Stones and 'Vreds

Happy birthday Mart - have a good one!

You not had an email on 20/5 timed at 16.18 with the corrected routes?

Did you hear the 0-100kph time of that Ford.........
