Funkyduck Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Hi all After my RX8 finally gave up the ghost I was looking for something different and fun to replace it. Quite a few friends suggested the 350z so I started looking in to it and the other day I picked up my 57 reg roadster (I know some don’t like the soft top! But I do) and then set about driving it back from Edinburgh to Portsmouth. what a fantastic car. I love it. Drives brilliantly. mum not in to tuning the nuts off it just yet but I will need a new top for it soon. SO..... can anyone recommend someone near south coast who can replace the hood (I hear mohair is the way to go??) also is there a Hampshire club that meets up at all? look forward to hearing from people. cheers Alex 1 Quote
Funkyduck Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Lol - that should have read ‘I’m’ not into tuning it - not my mum!!! I’m 49 and married so my mum doesn’t get involved much now!! lol 4 Quote
coldel Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Welcome along, have a look at the local meets sub forum, I believe Andy James will be your closest guy who organises local meet ups. There are a fair few owners in and around South Central area. Quote

HEADPHONES Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Welcome to the OC As said.......pics needed Quote
Funkyduck Posted January 23, 2020 Author Posted January 23, 2020 Finally a pic I do need to start looking in to a new hood as mine has 2 small tears at the bottom each side. I guess this is where they generally fail? any recommendations? thanks 4 Quote
