Bloody Zed Addiction


Z-monster

Recommended Posts

Took a day off from work today to go to Beaulieu with my buddy. (I was going down from Cardiff and him across from Guilford in his Caterham)

 

The drive down and the drive back (244miles) was epic, not because of the scenery or the road, just the car. it made the trip effortless, even bumped into the BBC boys doing their shots for their new article on the removal of tax discs (http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-25246378) they loved the Zed and showed interest...

 

When I told the presenter I was looking to sell, he perked up and asked how much. I said the asking price, to which he said "that's a hellofa lotta car for that price!"

 

Now, that reaction, plus my experience driving the car today just makes we want to keep the car, unresign from my current job, unlet my flat and tell my new employers I can't come and start work because "I love my car too much to care about advancing my career".

 

I also had some interest today via ebay and I almost emailed back and said "I DONT WANNA SELL!!"

 

This is madness.

 

Please tell me there's a cure for this!?

 

I also just realised this looks like a plug for my listing...and it isn't! I secretly hope it takes a little while longer to sell!

Dont know about you but when I bought my Z they were worth a lot more than 6 or 7 grand... If I were to replace it I would be spending 30k+ for something new (not), 20 odd k for sonething nearly new (not) or four and a half for something as a project... ..... ....... Why when I have a car I love... Infact I love it so much that rather than sell it its been off the road for the last year and a half (but watch this space)...

 

 

Dont sell it... You'll regret it...

well to give the future a reference...

 

I'm actually looking at a custom (for me) built 240Z by one of the datsun specialists. It would have all the mod cons, plus be tax free and historic insurance...plus its a 240Z so its basically a sleeper trackday toy/GT car. 2.9L S30 engine, (250bhp at the wheels) LSD, half-cage, looking at a six-speed 'box, ... list goes on...

 

It's the bloody VED that kills the 350Z for me. That's a pair or rear tyres/fuel/service parts etc
