GhostyDog Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Hi all, Just joined to see what your community is like, for me community is a big part of the owning experience of any car and you guys are up against the S2000 fraternity as its between that and a 350z to replace my Alfa 147. They seem a good bunch (a lot better than the TT lot at any rate) so you have a high benchmark to beat Anyway, love everything I've read about the car and in my search for a good all rounder RWD car with 2 seats and good track day credentials the 350z is creeping to the top of my list. I'll be hanging around over the next few weeks and if anybody knows of any meets in the Yorkshire area please let me know. What got me thinking of the 350z is one that is driven by an asian lass parks at the shops over the road from where I work in Huddersfield. It's Black with Gold BBS style split rims and an aftermarket adjustable rear wing, if she's a member on here I wouldn't mind a closer look at her car, it looks awesome. Cheers Sean Quote
nixy Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Hi there fellow yorkshire person! Don't know if she's a member or not I'm afraid - enjoy your stay. Quote
Removed Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 closest meet I can think of is the Chester one on the 14th Quote
martinmac Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 The one thing I dislike about the Z is..... ......................................... (Watch this space, only had it a year)! Enjoy the site. Quote
M13KYF Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 and enjoy the forum. Have you had a test drive yet? Quote
GhostyDog Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 Have you had a test drive yet? I haven't, I've pitted it up against an S2000 in Forza Motorsport 2 on the 360 though and the Z proved to be much quicker... unsure if that's a viable test I've come here first as I wouldn't want to buy the car and find there is no community around it. Test drives are the next step... Quote
Digsy Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Welcome! Pop over the Pennines next Saturday and come and meet us. Quote
martinmac Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 That will be the Z then. Chester on the 14th would be a good intro. Quote
M13KYF Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 get a test drive sorted, you won't look back. A few owners on here are ex s2000. the Z is more of a head turner too than a s2000. You won't get that on Forza Quote
nixy Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 My neighbour had an S2000 and looks wise I would say it is a lot more girly. I prefer the more aggressive mean look of the Z which is something I like. I can tell he's jealous as he has basically been hiding since I got mine! Quote

The drop top is something I've never done and I've lusted after an S2000 for years, thing is I found out a couple of weeks back that Zeds were in my price range too so that's rocked the boat a LOT!!! I can't make any meets for the next coupla weeks but I'll keep an eye on the meets section to see what's happening, might go along to that Japanese night that happens over in the North West looks good and I can get a feel for the whole thing. Think I'd stand out turning up in an Alfa? Quote
Removed Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 to the Manor? just a bit amongst supras gtr, etc... but dont let it put you off! come along Quote
lomoto Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 get the Zed you wont regret it , I was up at 6am this morning just to have a blast out in mine as I hadnt used it for a while because of the crappy weather recently Quote
jonathan73 Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Ghost- are you a hairdresser? Or a tanning salon owner? ,, ,, ,, No? Then ditch the S2000 and get the 350. Else you'll forever think you're a pu$$y Quote
GhostyDog Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 Ghost- are you a hairdresser? Or a tanning salon owner? Neither, I'm a freestyle martial artist with a somewhat techy day job to pay for tyres and other motoring consumables like gearboxes which don't seem to last very long with me, hope the Z has strong transmission. it'll need it Quote
Sarnie Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 mate The community over here is quality mate Martial artist eh? Zedrush is a member on here and he's a cage fighter Drove both cars and you'll realise which is the better car Quote
sl114 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Welcome dude, as Sarnie said Zedrush teaches cage fighting so i bet you two will get along, he gets along with all the boys. Id say get rid of the s2000 and get the 350z as soon as possible, such a better car Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Hello and welcome. I was in your position a year ago. It was between a Zed and an S2000. Well the outcome is clear..... Get a drive of both for a whole morning or afternoon, you'll know which one suits you better! Quote
GhostyDog Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 Welcome dude, as Sarnie said Zedrush teaches cage fighting so i bet you two will get along, he gets along with all the boys. That's cool, there's a cage fighting place in Bradford I've been meaning to go to the only thing I lack is ground fighting and grappling skills which is what cage fighting tends to boil down. I only really do it for fitness, I like all adrenaline fuelled sports and there's nothing better than martial arts to condition your body for other sports like Snowboarding and Racing. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Hi and Get the Zed you won't regret it. I don't think the Asian girl you mention could be a member on here otherwise Louis the forum tart would have been smoozing after her by now Quote
