  1. I'm 25 and Admiral are significantly cheaper than anyone else.

    new 350z

    Personally I like sunset, azure and gunmetal. Of the three I'd go for sunset
  3. i would definatley do good deals for fellow members, so far now have done 20 new 06z's. now have my new company car 06 esibu gt with sat and tints, will post pics after weekend, so far clocked up 16 miles in a week. will be fitting clear reflectors soon. june gunna be z city here as 8 turning up next week. p.s every customer who enquires about a z i give one of the forum bus cards. Are you at Rowstock then? I wouldn't mind having a decent drive in a Z. Being a scruffy 25yr old I've got the "you can't afford this so stop wasting my time" treatment from every dealer I've been to recently (apart from Audi Basingstoke, who had an excellent salesman). I got to drive a grand total of about 5 minutes when I took a MY06 out from Nissan Basingstoke. Drives me insane Been on a test drive marathon the past month and the Z is the only car leaving me with the 'grin factor', I'd just like to take the darn thing out and along a dual carridgeway/motorway a little as I do a lot of motorway miles and want to be reasonably confident it's not going to drive me mad after a few months
  4. Same here, (well I've not bought one yet, but very soon ) 25. Insurance before a few years NCB and <25 was ludicrous Saw two on the way round the '25 this morning, hope they aren't becoming common
  5. Didn't recognise it at first, but it was a chilli red with two white stripes going up over the car. Looked quite nice actually
  6. That's a decent price, where from? If you don't mind me asking

    Insurance

    Admiral have given me my best quote so far. £1350 (25 2years no claims). Adding my girlfriend as a named driver (24) took it down to £1080. Not that she's going ever take it beyond the driveway, but still
  8. I wouldn't, had my test drive last weekend but I've got to wait a few months to scrabble the money together for my Z, I've taken to following them and opening my windows (to hear that noise!) if I spot them on the roads and spending hours reading owner's club forums when I should doing other things....speaking of which.....
  9. Seen it a couple of times now, wondered if the owner was on here :>
  10. Still got a stupid grin on my face Was a 2006 300PS black GT. Rx8 wasn't even close to the drive or interior quality. Ooh, and the noise..mmm
  11. Ha ha 350z wins by a huge margin, just got to wait a month or so while I scrape the cash together. What an awesome machine, absolutely loved it :>
  12. Well, just been out in the RX8. Was a bit dissapointed. Engine sounded lively and interesting, but the lack of torque really showed. Just didn't have that sports car feel I was expecting. Brakes were awful, I'm a bit spoiled in that department coming from a BM but still, expected better, spongy and yuck. Comfy and decent interior, room in the back was adequate. Didn't leave me with a big grin on my face Definitely feels like the 'compromise coupe' someone mentioned earlier. Off out in the 350 in an hour or so, crunch time, I'm expecting it to give that big smile I've been looking for :>
  13. I heard the doors were a bit of a pain in car parks...did have a poke round one of the Evolve special editions the other day and was quite impressed overall, not sure about the odd handbrake and shiny black plastic trim mind. After watching the Fifth Gear shootout (posted in video forum) I don't think I'm going to be able to resist the Z though.
  14. Found this while poking around looking for Z stuff...thought it was a good watch! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 751&q=350z
  15. Y. List your head thoughts. RX is cheaper to buy, cheaper to insure, and has 4 seats, and is potentially a bit hairdresser. As has been said on here, the Z looks and sounds like a proper man's sports car Will have the test drive next week and then I'll know for sure.
