mike350z Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Saw the Z of my dreams on Saturday, bought in on the Sunday, pick it up on Friday. Looked at the weather forecast - heavy snow. 312bhp and snow and the 1st in a Z. Lucky Me Hope the traction control and ABS are as good as I believe.

martinmac Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Mike and welcome. Not the weather to be getting used to the zed, they dont like snow. Take it easy so you can enjoy it when the weather is better. Enjoy the forum. What you got then, details are everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike350z Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, shes a 350 Z GT 07- 160miles, twilight grey with frost leather seats. Had a test drive and basically fell in love with her - Had been looking for a few years now. The forum members seem a friendly bunch I'll enjoy my time on-line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ah the new twilight grey, saw one the other day in the local dealers and its stunning.

Indyzed Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Welcome Be careful mate if you drive her in ANY snow. Zed's come with high performance summer tires. They turn to concrete in the winter and are flat dangerous in snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi mate. Welcome aboard! I'm not far away from you in Aigburth and the folks live in Rainhill so if you see another Twilight Grey about it could be me.... PS If we get snow that sticks I'd seriously consider postponing your pick up - its not worth bending your new toy for the sake of a few days. Where are you buying from?

jim Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 and take it easy in this weather. Be especially careful on exiting roundabouts, particularly those which are made deliberately uneven to slow you down. All it does is ensure that diesel spills out of lorries and makes the road even slippier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Welcome Mike. Take care in the Zeddy. We're having the opposite problem this side of the ocean, lol, the airconditioning just can't freeze enough. Gotta love Summer. Anyway, enjoy, but carefully until the weather is a slightly less inclement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magrillz Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Mike, Car sounds great. I'd love to see some pics especially of the interior as I am hoping to get a Z soon myself and quite like the look of it. How does the Frost Grey look in the flesh? I was thinkign of a black GT with Frost Grey if I can get one (and if I can afford one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wilkommen I live at the top of a hill, and hate it when it snows or is icy, as any rear wheel drive car is hopeless. My Rex once lived at the bottom of the hill for 4 days!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
