Exec Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just wondering how many people who own zeds are actually members on here? 1 in 10? Im sure somebody can work out sales vs active members Reason I started thinking this was because recently a new zed owner was stopping at a relatives house after collecting their new car & I asked them to check if they were a forum member and got the feedback 'I would never join such a forum' All the while I was checking announcements and saw somebody bought the exact same car and was picking it up the the same day. Great forum if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Not a Z owner anymore - but hopefully will be again soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) I suppose different strokes for different blokes. For example if someone saw me with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and said "Wow.....cool phone bro.......are you on the Galaxyownersclub.uk?" I would think him a bit TOOOOO into his phone Must be the same for some people and their zeds. Although I think those zed owners would be the minority as there are so many other more practical cars to choose from in this price range you'd have to have a little bit of passion about zeds to choose a 350z!

Shenley Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 There are 21,294 forum members. (As of typing) There are 'about' three times as many members as there are 350's......... 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) There's 5 z's round me and I'm the only one on here. One goes to my gym..When I told him about the forum he just said "oh. Right" Edited June 4, 2016 by TT350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Exec you should add a "poll" to this, maybe something along the lines of.... Still own a Zed. Do not own a Zed but plan to soon. Sold my Zed & now drive something different but love this place. Cannot drive, am a troll. Just an idea. Oh and not everyone likes car forums or forums in general so I imagine there are a lot of Zed owners who don't belong to any forums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 When I sold my 370 I left my forum sticker in the window hoping the new owner would join, he did, just to pm me a question about the car, his post count still remains zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenDW Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 There are 21,294 forum members. (As of typing) There are 'about' three times as many members as there are 350's......... 7000? That really doesn't seem like a lot. No wonder you don't see them around all that often. Definitely time for a poll. I joined the forum in advance of getting my Zed to gather some info. Admittedly I mostly post to get info or if I'm being lazy at work *cough*likenow*cough*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kind of relate. Sometimes you just want to have something or do something without being part of that community per se. Or some people just have enough money to drop their cars into dealers and garages without asking questions or doing their own research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 My main car is a Honda Civic and I would have no interest at all about joining a Honda owners club - its a tool for my occupation as far as I am concerned.

Shenley Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 And for the 370 fans, 1964 on the road at the end of 2015. So the 370 is rarer than the 350, both in (or still in) production for seven years ish. So 🤓🤓🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_K Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Funnily enough, I'm in the same boat as Mudman; I've got a Civic as a daily. However, because it's got a few 'niggles' I joined a forum as I found the wealth of knowledge there fantastic. So far it's helped diagnose a few problems that I would have probably wasted a lot of time on trying from square one. I joined here for similar reasons when I got my 350 (GT, not Z). If there happen to be local meets with like-minded enthusiasts then that's a happy bi-product. I've had (and still have) a few different cars and I enjoy them for different reasons but the thing I've found about some forums is that sometimes (I stress sometimes!) people aren't open to liking or even appreciating any other makes/models, which takes the shine of that 'club' slightly and makes me understand why some people actively shy away from getting involved.

Fortunately you're in a club where there are probably as many BMW / Jag / Civic / MX5 drivers as there are Z owners!
