stanski Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Now I have my cousin Zed, I am seeing 370's every sodding where! Today in Bury I saw a Gunmetal on a 59 plate just driving out of Tesco. I never used to see any 370's at all? White, black, silver ones bobbing around Bury all the time? Why is life like this? You want a car , you never see it , then when you have to buy a different car you see loads of the ones you wanted? Maybe in 10 years time when you can buy them for £35 cash I shall finally have one............ (but keep the 'Fini' of course) Mind you a 350 for 27pence in 10 years time is even more tempting haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdotc Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think it's the same as any car you get, you just notice them more. I'm the same with my 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's called Fossers Falacy - in that your brain can only take in a finite amount of information so subconsciously filters the world as you see it for anything that is deemed unimportant. I have seen about 5 Skylines since getting mine, I saw none for years prior to that... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmorg4 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think it's the same as any car you get, you just notice them more. I'm the same with my 350. Agreed - this seems to happen with every car I buy! It's just perception, you just start noticing them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think in about five years of ownership I've seen an average of about 2 or 3 a year. Still quite a rare sight I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyZ Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) They are still a rare car. I see very few here in Leicestershire and I do loads of driving as part of my job. Nice having a bit of exlusivity although that won't last long when I get my BMW 1 series at the end of May!

stanski Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 You normally see loads of cars of the type you buy as soon as you buy it but I always keep a weather eye open for 350/370s anyway even after I sold mine? Still hardly saw any ? The 350s are popping up on cheaper car showrooms these days but 370s suddenly appeared with the sunshine ? Must come out for spring haha! Still no G37's though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus01 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 On way down M1 last night cruising home in my white 370 when guess what another white 370 drops in behind me, so common. So glad I didn't buy one of those common Porsches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when Nissan released those special edition ones it was only about 10 and they just use a magic marker on the sticker behind the seats and change the numbers? Then set up a new account as someone else on here! Ohhh that is very clever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've had mine 6 months and haven't seen another one! I knew the roadsters were quite rare but thought I'd have seen some coupes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev T Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I drive across London almost every day and rarely see a 370. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRFulton Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 There is a 60yr old woman in my town that has a car that looks very similar to mine (not a GT edition though)..... She bought it a fair bit after me. Other than that I think I've seen 2 other ones in my 13mths of Z ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've seen one 370 in the seven months I've had mine, a red roadster in Llandudno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) The only time I see another 370 is when I meet up with everyone in North Wales Edited April 8, 2014 by ioneabee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 In that case you need to get on the M56 where you will without fail see a white one about 5pmish Westbound near Chester services! Plus another White and sometimes Black one Eastbound in the same location but 7ish in the morning? Oh they are not the same white ones I checked the number plates haha - I miss nowt! So if you see a Korean Looking Hyundai cross coupe thing in black and it flashes and waves to you - its probably me so wave back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Lets be honest they are an expensive car to buy and run, Most people dont like driving powerful cars with slippery backsides during winter or get any corrosive salt on them? They are mostly second cars I would say and only used on sunny days and weekends. Now prices have dropped a little and they are finding their way onto people like me who dont want to spend over £20K for one and hopefully start to become more common place? Mind you 350's were always elusive even when I had mine, so guessing 370's will be even more so and remember they were launched in the middle of a recession that did not help?

Jack Carter Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I've had my roadster since March 1st 2014. I've seen 1 coupe since then. I drove from the Midlands to London on March 30th - then drove all over London during that day, and drove home to the Midlands later that day. Never saw one 370 and only one 350. I've had a number of comments when at the petrol pumps or parking in town from people all saying the same thing - "what is it ? I've never seen one before" So glad I didn't have another Z4 now if only for the rarity value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
