Doug86 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Hi Guys, I was told about this site by 'Gervais' so thought I should sign up and start reading! I actually just returned from a test drive of a 350z as I am looking to replace my E36 with it. Sadly the test drive consisted of 2.5 miles around Solihull in stop start traffic. How they expect to sell a sports car like that is beyond me! Are there any members around the Warwickshire area with a 350z that would be able to show off their car to me? I am happy to throw a tenner in the tank so I can see how they actually perform and sound! An owner of the car would also be able to point out the bad points of the car and what to look out for as well. I am happy to bring my camera kit and take some photos as well in return for a trip out. Regards, Doug Quote
BladesGrant Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Hello and to the forum. I am in Leamington Spa so very close by and would be happy to let you look round my car. I will add that its far from standard though!! Good luck with the hunting. Grant Quote
Doug86 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 I am in Stratford so only just down the road from you. The far from standard sounds interesting Sadly I don't think that would give a fair picture of a standard car I assume there are some local meets every now and then? I fully intend to get along to them when I manage to find the right car (Or maybe before...) Quote
Doug86 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 Sadly my budget will not stretch to a 313 so don't want to get my expectations up If any members do fancy taking me out for a spin and to share some knowledge on what to really look for in detail when buying I will cover the petrol Quote
BladesGrant Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Although definitely not standard not much has been done to the engine so shouldn't be a problem in terms of performance and sound expectations. I do have an aftermarket exhaust but its not a crazy one!! Nearly everyone starts out with a standard one but that changes quickly around here!! There is a West Midlands meet in July, put your name down for that as there are a lot of cars down so far so will give you a good set to look at. Quote
Doug86 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 It is nice to see a forum where people still welcome newbies! I will go and start some topics and put some of my pictures up. Where would it be best to stick motorsport photos etc, the Media section? Or is that for 350 related media? Quote

Subforums: Photo Archive, Videos maybe best in Other Cars Because we are all petrolheads, really! Quote
