polarbear Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Just been down to the dealer to see my lovely new Temper GT fresh off the boat from Japan. Still covered in the usual shipping protection stickers and gunk, but the colour is amazing even without a good polish and wax. Was going to wait until 1st Sept, but as it's going on to a cherished plate I just can't wait any longer. Some pics to follow.... One happy person Quote
martinmac Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Thought you would have been down there getting the protection off!. How many hours and minutes to collection and dont tell me you havent worked it out! Quote
polarbear Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 nice what colour is temper http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/205642/nissan_350z.html Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Brilliant. I'll be interested to hear how it compares with your previous zed once you've run it in. Quote
Zedrush Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 nice what colour is temper http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/205642/nissan_350z.html oh orange Quote
nixy Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 so will they actually let you have it before sept 1st? Cool! Quote
polarbear Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 so will they actually let you have it before sept 1st? Cool! Yeah, but not on '57. I've got a cherished plate so will take the hit on a few hundred quid residuals just to get my paws on it early. Quote

I've got a cherished plate so will take the hit on a few hundred quid residuals just to get my paws on it early. Economically unsound but exactly what I would do. I had a deposit on the car for weeks before I could transfer money from aborad to pay for it an sad as it seems, I used to go and visit it. Look forward to picks when you get it. Quote
polarbear Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Some low res pics to be going on with.... The dodgy fluourescent light in the dealer makes it look pink-ish Quote
Beavis Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Going down the dealers this afternoon to have a look at the new zed Quote

Yeah, I know, but what the hell. Dealer originally told me it would be delivered mid/late Sept then I get a phone call out of the blue say "it's here!". Thought about it for a bit and considered it sat in their compound doing nothing other than risking damage and thought I'd better go for it. I also had to pay out £105 to put my reg on retention as the dealer said it could take weeks and weeks to transfer if I didn't, especially in the run up to 1st Sept. Counting the days.... Quote
martinmac Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Interested to know whate delivery they are giving nowadays... Best of luck. Quote

If not the hours111, On a GPRS link at work so my previous was for Beavis. The number plate change on mine was refreshingly easy this time, popped in to the local DVLA office and it took less than 5 minutes, nice to know that something is getting easier. Quote
Beavis Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Interested to know whate delivery they are giving nowadays... Best of luck. Sorry i did not ask about delivery but i was not impressed with the car i saw in dark blue. Mine looked much better. Quote
Sarnie Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Superb I'd have had to have gone and got it too Quote
GC350z Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I also went to look at one today. 400 mile round trip but worth it. Delivery in Ireland is next year if ordered now. The one at the dealer arrived last month and was ordered in Dec/Jan. Quote
