Hello to everyone on the forum. I discovered and registered with this site about a week ago. I have scoured through as many of the posts as I could stand before my eyes began to bleed, and now feel the time has come for myself to introduce......er.......myself???
My name is Carleton, I'm a 40 year old commercial diver who lives just outside of Plymouth but works mostly in the North Sea. I live with my partner and(cough) love of my life, Lisa and our two daughters. We have a fairly good and comfortable lifestyle and in the summer the bint and I take long trips out on my FZR1000 (it's old but very fast and the insurance is peanuts).
You may be thinking; this is all very interesting, but what's his point? Well, the point is I've just bought my first350z!!!! I have to be honest here, I have never owned a sports car before, my current/soon to be traded wheels being an Audi A6, so I'm entering a whole new world. This aint no midlife crisis thing that I've got going on, I have always want to go in this direction, but practicality has prohibited it ('cept for the bike!), more realistically, my common sense(Lisa) has prevented it.
With the promise of a new set of wheels for her and the money just sitting in the bank, the time was right. So, it's an imported '03 model in gunmetal, fairly basic spec, but in mint condition and only 14k on the clock(all bimta'd up). And I only have to wait until the 15th Nov to collect it!!!
I have learned a lot by reading through the posts on here and hope, in time, I will learn a lot more, perhaps even have something to contribute. And I very much look forward to getting to know some of you on here (anyone from the southwest?).
I wish you all the very best.
Carleton
