Nexus Icon Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Hi all. I've been lurking around and reading the forum for a few weeks and it's great to see such a pleasant social aspect, interwoven with a wealth of information. I'm a first-time Z owner, although I've been lucky enough to own a fair few cars that wouldn't look out of place in Fast Cars magazine. Maybe I'll write up a car history in another sub-forum at some point. Anyway, I'm an F1 engineer by trade, I live in Oxfordshire and I'm cruising quickly through my forties - much to my chagrin. My wife drives a 2016 Nismo Juke and I've recently obtained a 2017 370Z Nismo. Both are resplendent in Storm White. I look forward to getting to know you all. Nex. 5 Quote
Aashenfox Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Welcome from an expat in sunny (at the moment) Greece. Very jelly of the day job and the brand new nismo! Good stuff! Quote
KyleR Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Congrats not he new purchase. Who do you work for? We've had a couple of people from the F1 circuit (pun intended) on here over the years. Edited March 31, 2017 by KyleR Quote
Scooby67 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Welcome to Zed ownership! Where about's in Oxfordshire are you? I live just by Witney, I will keep an eye out for you as we have the same car Quote
Aashenfox Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Imagine how it smells inside... <sniff> <sniff> Aaaaaaah, Bisto! Nismo! 1 Quote
Paul K Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Welcome to the Forum....i think there is another who works in F1 on here somewhere Quote
Payco Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Nice choice..Picking mine up in August.Any mod plans?. Quote
Nexus Icon Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks for the welcome! To answer a few questions... I work at Renaultsport F1 team and have done since the Renault F1 Team days in 2006 (the World Championship seems such a long time ago), through the highs and lows of the Lotus F1 years, and on to the current resurgence* under French ownership. I live near the factory at Enstone, though I'm from Southampton originally and get down that way frequently. I don't have any plans to mod in the immediate future, though I'm going to have to do something about the wheels. I'm finding one in particular is getting a lot of damage to the edge simply from crap on the road. I can't believe there's another white one so nearby - I don't think I've ever seen a Nismo II on the road - howmanyleft.com suggests there's only about 150 in the country. Again, cheers for the welcome. *Resurgence in respect to factory and infrastructure, if not yet results! Quote
Strudul Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I don't have any plans to mod in the immediate future Hah, good luck - won't be long before you contract Zeditis Quote
