2014 I had my 2004 GT 350z. Loved that car, and miss this forum a lot. I still of course follow it, but less input due to the lack of zed in my life right now.. I've just taken delivery of a BMW M2. Who knows what's in the future for me. The M2 is awesome, and fills the gap of my 350z well!

 

Take care guys and girls and all the best for 2017!

2007 I had an rx7, although I cant quite remember which one out of the 5 I had.

2017 guess I will still have the VX

 

and I have no idea what I will be driving in 2027 if I am still here, but there are a few things I would like to own in between now and then:

 

Gtr, if things go well a Gallardo and if things go really well a 458.

That's beautiful... :ohmy:

 

Is it... real? At >£300k for a 246GT, I'm kinda assuming not?

 

How much was it?

Hi Bud, sadly not a real one, but it was one of the best for being a Replica :) Made at the factory by Deon......and had genuine Ferrari Dino parts like the door handles, mirrors, Badges, and was on a G plate....(no Q plate) :) Interior was amazing also :) Cost the first owner 30k and then I got it. Had a dog leg gear box....2ltr Lancia lump in the back with twin 40 webbers, lightened fly wheel and bored out to 2.2 if my memory is correct ! I owned it for 8 months then she had to go to help our house move :( Must say it was an amazing experience and ive never owned anything since that caused sooo much attention when driving....people asking for a quick pic, shouting out and you couldn't park it anywhere without worrying lol.......GOOD FUN Mind you the Z does give me the same feeling..........that I luv getting into it evry single time :)

I'm on car 24 but I think it was this one IMG_0631_zpsxmtcoaqr.jpg

 

As I'm getting older I'm finding I dislike newer cars more and more so I suspect in 10years I'll be in a classic car. Maybe that will be a current gtr although I think an R34 is more likely

I was driving a 406 coupe in 2007 and though low on power I loved it.Don't think I will improve on the 370 as I'm getting on a bit now,hoping to be around to see the Mars landing in 2030,probably be driving my old Honda !

Ironically I agree, most newer cars just don't do it for me.

Lol you never know, I might have my 350Z back on the road in 10 years!!

:lol:

 

I bl**dy hope so, ...you've waited long enough already. ;)

 

Don't I know it :(

 

I'll be going down to Wembley to pick up the new engine thingy soon.

2007: Vauxhall Calibra 16V (Redtop engine). At the time, it was both the newest and fastest car I'd owned. But it was fraught with problems, to say the least.

 

2027: I like to think I'd still have the 300ZX, as well as some sort of daily driver. If not the Zed though, maybe a TVR of some description. But hopefully still the Zed :thumbs:

2017: Probably the year I go down with Zed'itus

2027: I can only hope it will be something like this:

but it could equally be automotive zombie'ism:

2007 - I had a Peugeot 405 Mi16, loved that car but had to sell as I had split up with my g/f and had to buy a house on my own! Have since bought another as a project to go with my zed :)

2017 - Had my zed about 6 months now and loving it, no plans of getting another car for a long time, so...

2027 - Will most likely still have the zed, with a supercharger, coilovers etc etc!

Got into cars when I got a Scirocco Mk3 as a company car back in 2009, prior to that had a series of Fords etc but wasnt too fussed about them. I had a 9 year break from cars when I worked/lived central london and worked abroad. Scirocco was so much fun, then moved jobs handed it in and decided to spend a few quid on a car, really wanted an S2000 but ended up with this Nissan thing called a 350z...

 

...after that VX220, R33 Skyline and now in the Celica. Loving the Celica, going to keep it another couple of years at least. Future? Who knows? I do know I like older cars and messing around with them, I like some rare and something that looks a bit different. I could never own a 911 for all its wondrous driving capabilities they are more common than Ford Focuses round here. Would love to get my hands on an RA28 celica and work it up, or a old yank V8.

I've had lot's of cars so will only list performance models...

 

Started with a Saxo VTR :lol:

 

Then to a Saxo VTS, I actually really liked the VTS, proper fun and very light little hatchback, was riddled with issues tho.

 

EP3 Civic Type R - first car I properly modified, stripped interior, full exhaust, induction, coilovers and Kpro about 220BHP was a fantastic little B road car but got annoying on long drives etc.

 

350Z - Spent a fortune on this one, Wheels, suspension, clutch, flywheel, exhaust. Had a funny love/hate relationship with the Z, rust issues and a looming gearbox fault made me finally let it go.

 

Current car is a stage 3 Focus ST3 320BHP., currently in love with this thing, does everything, comfy long drives and plenty of power when you need it, fastest car I've owned in a straight line by far.

 

Future car is likely to be a new shape Focus RS, possibly next year depending on finances etc.
