no nissan phil Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Hello, New here. (hand shakes all round) I currently drive a Mercedes 190e (1.8) - I love it but 95% certain I want to change to a 350z. I have spent a lot of time researching and working out insurance, all good......EXCEPT I am put off by one thing!....A good friend of mine (Peter) tells me that the 350z has a reputation for "fruity mobile hairdresser types" I'm not prejudice or even bothered by his crazy opinions but I would like to prove him wrong! He drives a J-reg Mitsubishi Colt! - He has it slammed to floor and has done all the normal stupid things to it that is all to common amongst " boy-racer hockey dads" types. Should I listen to Peter? - I intend to print out this thread and show it to him. Thanks in advance, Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 PS and if you get one, you surely won't be dissappointed! Quote
AK350Z Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Them hairdressers have good taste then. Presumably he's never driven one? Quote
smudgedon Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I haven't got one yet, but the 350z is certainly hot a hairdressers car!!! People were comparing the 350 to an S2000 which i definately think is a hairdressers car The V6 in a 350z makes it a man's car Quote
Ian Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Peter is an idiot, I'd ditch him and get a new friend Quote
no nissan phil Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks, I knew I was been a little silly. "has he driven one?" - Nope he is frightened of big cars, hench the little Colt. Quote
evilscorp Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 buy one,pull up next to him,enough said. If not, rev the engine.lol Quote

RisingPower Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Peter is an idiot, I'd ditch him and get a new friend Go on, admit it, you had some curling tongs until you bought the r34 Personally I have a room, with only haircare products and nail glitter. Quote
brillomaster Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 hes confusing a 350z with an audi tt... or an mx5. Nothing fruity about a 280bhp V6 rwd sportscar. except the sound the exhaust makes Quote

What do you mean until? I'm offering hair cuts at Japfest Quote

no nissan phil Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks, the more I think about it the more I start to thinking he is indeed a fool - He drives round in an early nineties shopping car thinking he is some kind of racing driver - You know the type - takes the spare wheel and back seats out to increase speed - stickers everywhere (calls them de-cals) - changes gear half way round corners! You have swayed me people! I'm now 100% sure! Wish me luck in finding my new 350z and indeed a new friend! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I am put off by one thing!....A good friend of mine (Peter) tells me that the 350z has a reputation for "fruity mobile hairdresser types" I'm not prejudice or even bothered by his crazy opinions but I would like to prove him wrong! Thanks in advance, you have to remember that your asking this question on a 350Z forum, your not going to get lots of people turn round and say, "yes we're all a bunch of raging homo's" to put this in perspective for those in slight denial the large influx of female members on the forum of recent times. this doesn't make it a girls car, but its curves do seem to attract ladies with good taste. I would say it is a slightly girly car in its shape, but i wouldn't say its a girls car. but as RWD cars go its a very safe option, with the TCS and other gadgets its nigh on impossible to do something stupid in it (unless you turn it off) so although it has 276 bhp its a very useable car. my wife liked the zed more than i did to be honest. and there are several people on here, even though its there missus car. and as for the S2000 its a better driving car than the 350Z an dif i still had my old one i would quiet happily have wooped your arse round snetterton Quote
Stew Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 What do you mean until? I'm offering hair cuts at Japfest Can you do extensions and my nails? Always wanted them in hot pink To match your purse As long as you have a bag to match that purse! If not my wife will...... Quote
JetSet Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I don't think there are many hairdressers who could afford to run a 350Z . Sure, there are plenty of women who drive them but the ones I've spoken to are all like middle management types! Pete Quote

Nothing wrong with having a living room full of parts ready to put onto the car when i get it Quote

Sam Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I think RT above has made a fair point that you are on a 350z forum and people here love their Zed's to bits... dont think you ll hear much other way around! Having said that I dont own a 'Z'... YET... so I can give an unbiased opinion (I think). I think its the best sports car in the world given the price tag it comes with. Period!! The reason for your friends opinion I guess could be either he cant afford one so grapes are sour, or he definately knows that its a superb car and he dont want you to own one! Quote
