dunker

Well the other night at KFC I created such interest that the duty manager gave me a free "Avalanche" ice cream, unless of course he just fancied me??? But today was great, turned up at Thruxton to get some info and a super car experience day was happening. The amount of people who were one second drooling over a Ferrari and Aston Martin suddenly shot their attention to my Zed!!

Me and girlfriend (both 39), live in urban high crime area, fully comp protected NCB, second car, multi car insurance with Admiral, 570 for both....or 346 for just the 56 plate Zed.

I just used it to check some car tax prices and was gobsmacked to see that a BMW M6 with a 5l engine was £100 cheaper!!1 Just proves that this latest tax hike is ballsed up... Average milage for a performance car is in the region of 6-8k per year, as opposed to a little 1.4 Nova that whizzes around town constantly, popping to the corner shop and back etc etc racking up 15k miles.... surely the annual pollution would then be less from my "gas guzzling" machine, which costs me more in petrol as well... There is no respite...

well bck nice and safe and all the way down to the new forest and all the way back and all I see is one blue 350 southbound on the M3 just before Fleet. In fact the Aston Martin appeared more common!! we are in deed unique!!

I am travelling down to the New Forest for a couple of days so see if you can spot me on the way down from suffolk!!! GM 56 plate GT Coupe....

Now having just picked up my new GM GT that morning I couldn't believe it when on my first excursion into town I passed another GM coupe at a junsction and then parked two bays up from a Red roadster!!!

well having ordered mine a month ago I finally got mine today...was awake at four this morning with anticipation!!!! It is everything i dreamed it would be... would be interested to know what you paid for yours Jimbo...

In fact I work near Andover (Middle Wallop) so could always give you a closer look after Easter!! and some feed back on their service

I sourced my Z through Nissan select, available through the Nissan website. Got a 5 month old GT with a thousand miles on the clock for 26k. Could sell it tomorrow for a grand profit. Right now though they have zero stock so they are in much demand!! Check daily though as they are always adding.

As pick up my Z on Sunday, thought the ideal first day out would be Donny. Question is which is the better day, and what are the parking and underfoot conditions like? Checked out the pics from last year and it looked rather sodden...

if you ever have to have wirk done on one they are a nightmare to colour match. shows up all patchy under normal street lighting...

I have registered for MY 56 ZED to be put on my 56 plate Z....

Just fishing to find out what people's views are on private plates... got my eye on a few, but don't weant to "chav" the babe!!!

and to think I could have had my new zed last week but decided to wait until April 1st to get a full months car tax...now I'm gonna pay an extra 100 quid bill to boot.....

well by lowering the tax to 20p from 22p in the pound I guess he is giving you anallowance to pay for the car tax....all seems a bit ironic really.

I got a cargo net for a fiver yesterday...

Has anyone ever considered using a car bra for long journies? I know they are available on the net and very popular over the pond!

Don't forget that alot of the young lads working in these tyre outlets weren't the sharpest tools in the box. I had one drop the ratchet gun onto my newly sprayed bonnet but didn't realise until a day or so later but was in no position then to demand corrective action. Only way is to be on site and watch with eagle eyes. I know some outfits will actually fit on location. Its jst as annoying when mechanics don't put wing covers over the car when working inside your engine bay.

Nope...that ad looks genuine. This was a Universal Silver coupe, 53 plate where he actually stated he only wanted 6 grand....obviously been found out though...

Checking out Ebay and thought i would draw people's attention to these possible scamming ads. Quotes a private email address and an unbelievable price... if it's hard to believe then it probably isn't true... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/03-Nissan-350Z-GT_W0QQitemZ230106014851QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

here is the link to the magazine in question... http://www.maxpower.co.uk/article.asp?asset=1163

Good, albeit short, article in the latest copy. Z gets the thumbs up over the 220, which is a rel;ief as my mate drives one....guess who has the kudos now!!

looks like Admiral is a Z frienmdly insurer, unless the formula mixed up micra with 350Z...

I turn the big 40 this year and was quoted £350 fully comp, protected with a £250 excess by Admiral. 1. Is this a good quote? 2. What's your cheapest quote by age group, i.e. under 20, under 25, under 30 etc (Quoted thru confused)
