DJS1994 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Hi, im Dan im 20 from Ashford kent and I am a car enthusiast. I get this from my dad who sadly recently passed however I feel this has ignited my passion to go faster My dad over the last 35 years owned some awesome cars and he always modded them to go faster, Sierra RS500 cosworth 2x RS2000 1984 Porsche 911 1987 Porsche 911 turbo Then he had me and had to start from the bottom again Mazda mx5- which he later supercharged Honda S2000 Nissan 350Z BMW 335D Nissan 370Z Jaguar XKR 4.2 supercharged Audi R8 V10 So after reading that you get the idea why I love cars, like I said im 19 though I can afford a 350Z I cannot afford the £3k a year to insure it dammit. So I will be lurking around the forums picking up as much knowledge and possible and appreciate any tips and help thanks for having me. Oh yeah I currently drive a ford focus 1.6 zetec hahaha Quote

SteveRS Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome to the club Sorry to hear about your Dad, it looks like he had the opportunity to own some awesome cars in his time and i'm sure you'll follow suit eventually. I remember when I was around 21 I kept admiring the 350z as my parents lived opposite a Nissan dealer, I loved it and said to myself I'll have one of those one day. When I turned 23 I got my first nismo 350z and didn't look back, I've had 2 now one in Blue and now my current nismo zed which is Chilli Red. Good things come to those who wait Quote
GMballistic Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome aboard Dan and as others have already said sorry to read about your father passing. Regarding the insurance there are a few younger members 18-19 year olds in Zeds and I remember reading that they are paying less than £3K a year so not sure where you got that quote, ....although obviously personal circumstances like NCB, where you live etc will play a big part in the price. My advice is to try a price comparison website like "Go-Compare" but also the insurance traders/brokers which are on this forum as you never know insuring a Zed maybe cheaper than you thought.

Z370Z Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 to the forum Dan, I'm sure it won't be long till you get the car of your dreams looks like you're following in your dad's footsteps. Your dad would be so proud knowing he was such a great inspiration in your life : thumbs: Quote
WhackyWill Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome to The Forum. Nice collection of cars. Quote
MCook Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Hello and ! As I said in the PM, it is possible to get a 350 insured for a reasonable price at our age, I bought mine when I was 18 and paid off the insurance on my 19th birthday, at 8am in the morning, just so I could drive it to work! I wish you the best of luck, have a go at doing a quote directly with Admiral on line Quote
Will370z Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome, sounds like your dad had some cracking cars there. Quote
steve916 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Dan, Welcome. Sounds like you're following in your fathers footsteps with a good choice of cars Quote
