...and worth about 47p.

Interesting question Bockaaarck. I think it's both punching above it's weight in terms of what it can offer vs the premium cars, but I also think that it has some pretty major failings which can be hard to get your head around for a regular car person. No two ways about it, the interior is very poor, and the fuel economy is dreadful. The MPG is a bigger issue as well when you consider the car came out as fuel prices started to rise upwards, which made it a harder sell and that's probably why the 370Z sold in such relatively pitiful numbers. It's also a heavy car, and as stock on OEM geo and on 040 tyres it's a pretty bland drive unless you want to provoke it. The boot is hugely compromised with the strut bar, which hurts the GT side of things too. I suspect it sold mostly on the external looks, certainly that's why most people on here bought one, which I guess leads to why it's not always as revered as it should be. We all know that a few tweaks here and there transforms the car, and we all know just how solid that chassis is in terms both of construction and more importantly allowing the dynamics of it to shine through. The more I think about the Zed, the more I think it's a car you grow to love rather than fall in love with straight away. Something like a TT (let's be honest, that was the big taker of 350 sales I suspect) initially flatters a lot more with better MPG; a much nicer place to be; quattro and either turbo shove or a nicer V6, but ultimately it bores after a while. That's why I'd much rather have the 350 than a TT, but it wouldn't have helped general opinion.

Thinking about it, the Zed is probably the most boring performance car I've ever owned too. Doesn't mean it's boring, it's just the competition it's up against.

Just found the link on IMOC - http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=186472 assuming you can see it. General consensus from those that know (and the IMOC lot aren't daft) is that the car is worth the asking price. Personally I think that's bonkers money for a MR2 mk2, even a mildly modded rev3 tubby. 350Z prices have dropped, but the only thing I could consider that a swap for would be an '02 JDM with 100K on the clock. That said, good luck with the sale, these cars are getting rarer so I hope you find a buyer for it.

^^^ Well said, and perfectly common sense.

If AIDS were a car...

They're great, as long as England don't qualify. The last time we didn't make it was one of the best tournaments ever, no silly OTT bits about England winning, just great teams playing great football. Sadly it looks like we'll qualify easily for this one, only to play dull football and lose in a pathetic fashion when we actually get to the important bit. That said, if France do well then it'll be a great atmosphere, so I'll probably end up supporting them for that week.

Nah, it's bloody awful. Engine in the wrong place, common as muck, hairdresser version, probably even an auto too!

If it ruins LM for me in any way, I'll be irritated as hell. Already having to think about making sure crossings are booked early, and leaving extra time to get down there and back!

This is true. Still, a bit harsh on the Zed, but ultimately they had to pick one car for the main photo.

Is that brown?!

Check out the main pic... /trollin'

That is utter genius!

Just make sure it comes to you in her will though, yeah?

Although, that would be a very cool name to have...

Oh FFS you know what I mean, I'm trying to stop anyone stalking them!

I know someone who had V6 XXX (XXX being their initials) first of all on an I4 TT, then it moved onto a F6 911, now it's on an I4 Scirocco

Sums it up rather nicely, good link

Maybe its just teamtarmac guys No-one likes #TeamM&S

BT Sport lite is the pikey version that only includes BTS1 which isn't HD.

Just on for me then apparently!

That's odd, I didn't actually write four asterisks or c*nt, I actually wrote c*ck which got blanked automatically. TEST **** ****

How on earth did you get that past the swear filter?! Nah, we're cool blud. Me and Doc used to argue like crazy on here too, then things kinda clicked and we realised we're pretty much both awesome as hell.

Nope, I still think you're a ****

Hint: Get the oldest plate you can. That way, you can transfer it to pretty much anything you want when you sell the car. I'm okay with most things I'd ever want with my R-reg, but the missus has an 04 plate one which is limiting car choice a bit. Of course, I'll just buy her another plate if I need to rather than let that decide the car choice, but you can see what I mean.
