Hey 350z guys, had wonderful times with my 350z, but been saving for very long time, and finally took the plunge to start looking for a GTR, Whazza bought my 350z so my search started when the 350z left my drive :( yesterday after weeks of searching i bought my GTR finally :) Will miss the 350z it has a certain character no other car has, and The Zed Shed and forum guys here were great, and I still want to come to 350z meets down my area if you guys will let me ;) Here she is below excuse the cheesy pose, i was a little over excited :)

Your welcome on GTROC wasn't too different to mine :lol: Its a pretty hostile place at the best of times, even more so if you don't have the ability to throw blank cheques at the current tuner flavor of the month

Thanks guys :) Yes Ian, felt hostile at times, as anyone can understand i was super excited and posted alot on my progress of buying one, getting advice taking pics etc, as it was a GTR forum and i was buying a GTR i thought that was the point, but some felt i was using it like a social media site, others really enjoyed watching my experience and day of buying it. Never mind, cant please everyone. I suppose its a different breed of peeps that own a GTR i just hope if i go to any meets thats its a bit more laid back and chilled.

Just thought id pop over to the gtr forum to see if you had any more pics of your lovely motor and was suprised to see your epic thread had hit 17 pages, but as i scanned through i had to say i was really suprised.

 

What a load of condescending, patronising, high and mighty, "we are better than you" members there are on there. Just because some young guy who has worked hard and saved for his dream car actually gets it and gets extremely excited about it (as would i) and rather than say well done many reply with negative comments and state the creditability of their forum is going down the pan. What a load of idiots.

 

Anyway rant over - just wanted to say blummin well done and enjoy your gorgeous car. More pics please.

 

And so nice to see the difference in the replies here, just goes to show the difference in mentality of the users of this place
