Wilkini Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 After years of lusting after something exotic and boy racery, i've been a Skoda owner since my little lad was born in 1997 and forced me to sell my modded VW Beetle for something more sensible (see pics below) I've finally got something worthy, a 54 plate 350Z GT after that same annoying little boy bought himself a 350Z a few weeks back and was the inspiration for me making the leap (albeit I wanted to get an RX8 to be different until I researched the issues they have) and I'm happy as a pig in the you know what! Mine is low mileage (43k) and in need of some tweaks (rims/ICE/exhaust) as well as some TLC on the interior (don't they all?) and I'm looking to have some fun getting there as my son and I go on this great little adventure together. 1 1 Quote
andybp Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Welcome to the forum Lot's of old boy racers here I was 52 yesterday Quote
Ponsonby Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Plenty of other oldies on here. I am 55 this year. Good that you are keeping something in common with your son - they grow up fast and it is easy to lose touch with them. 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Welcome aboard. As Ponsonby said it's great that you and your son can go through your Zed journeys together. Quote
EcoFriendlyAL Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Ay up. I'm 52 so plenty of us having a twenty year midlife crisis if you believe the type of person that drives a Fiesta and looks down on sports cars. You only live once, might as well make the most of it. Welcome to the forum. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 You're just a youngster (like me ;)) ... welcome to our club Quote
Wayne370Z Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hi and welcome. Think we`ve got a few Z owners who are in their 60`s or even 70`s which, and way too soon, will include me in another 3 years. (60`s not 70`s). Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I know of three currently active members who are 70+ though not all have a Zed now Quote
HEADPHONES Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Welcome to the OC. Hope you enjoy both the zed and the OC. Quote
