350Z cherry about to be popped

[SalisburyFFC]

Long time reader, not posted before but picking up the new Z tonight! 

From London but now living is sunny Wiltshire. My other car is a, umm, Kia Ceed 😬
 

[RichCox350Z]

Welcome along!

 

Whereabouts in Wiltshire are you based?

[SalisburyFFC]

Thanks Rich!

3 weeks I've been here, am a couple of miles out of Salisbury... Looking forward to the Jubilee stuff this weekend, there was a car show last Saturday in the market square (both current and classic cars) and there's live bands and a Lancaster bomber fly past this weekend. Missing London not one bit!

 

This is probably not going to be well met, but I was torn between a 350z or Fiat 20v Turbo, or if I was going to go classic, an MG Midget (RWA), Triumph GT6 or a Mini Clubman 1275GT... but the car fund took a kicking since we moved (as the wife wants new everything!) and that ultimately decided things for me. Plus the Fiats were ridiculous insurance-wise.

Welcome along. You've made the right choice!

Hi and a welcome from Bristol 😁

[SalisburyFFC]

A few bits to take care of - tyres, door handles, headlight polish and a good valet. Maybe a full set of Ray's 🤣

The Azure blue is an outstanding colour for a zed.

Welcome to the OC

I drive the family  around  in a Kia Sportage.

It makes you appreciate  the 350z all the more when you drive it

"moved out of London"

 

The smartest of us all. Well done lad...Not a London guy either. Hopefully ill be in the Cotswolds later in life.

 

i had 2 370 Nismos and 350z. Now got 370Z GT.

 

Speaking of classics, Id like to add one at somepoint. Maybe a TVR Tasmin or Griffith. Would if my numbers came through

 

Hopefully better roads up there to drive the damn thing! 😂

A few early bits done....

 

4 x Pilot Sport 5s

Stubby  aerial

Headlight  polish

New door handles

 

Next things being planned:

 

a good clean and wax

some Rays

rear washer not spraying

left channel/ Bose speaker issue with CDs 

Brake pads

W brace

 

 

 

 

 

[davey_83]

Not seen a door handle on these that rough before, looking as it should now. Great choice for new rubbers and boy do they look good 

 

My rear washer for years didn't work, sorted it 18 months ago as it was the pump that had failed.

Thanks Davey, nice car!

[SW66TTT]

Welcome! I'm from Somerset but work in Wiltshire, Bradford on Avon to be exact.  I'm also a fairly new member, the stubby aerial was my first mod 😃

[SalisburyFFC]

BOA is lovely, it was on our list of potential locations but hought it just a bit too sleepy... maybe in 20 years!
