Hot Rod Zombie

I'm new on here and I was looking around and noticing that insurance seems to be quite high compared to the US. The husband and I may be moving to the UK sometime in the next two years. I know it's going to be awhile, but I was just curious about the insurance rates. I got my Z two years ago when I was 19. I'm 21, I'll be 22 in a week. I pay $69 (£48) a month here in the states / $414 (£290) per six months. I've paid that amount since the day I got my car. I was involved in two accidents last year, both were 100% the other persons fault, but of course is still reflected on my record. My insurance just renewed as of yesterday and my rates are still the same as what I've been paying for the last two years. Other than the two Not-At-Fault accidents, my record is spotless. Should I assume if I move over there, my insurance rates will raise drastically if I were import my Z or even just a buy a Z over there?

Ohhhhhhhh Lmao That makes SO much more sense now. haha I LOVE the Simpsons. I've been watching the Simpsons since I was born. Lol In one episode, Marge was giving their address over the phone and when she came to the state, Homer or someone else walks in and she says, "Ohhh... Hi 'Homer'" or hi to whoever walked in.. I can't remember now. For that reason, I believe it's Ohio they're in. But I think there may be some other episodes that they hint to some other states besides Ohio, so who knows. I do like to believe it's really Springfield, Missouri though Lol. At least it'd be awesome if they were.

I'm thinking something is going over my head. What's big about 'Springfield'? Lol

The only Barney I know of is the dinosaur. Haha

Yeah... the Dotz Hanzos are a very good choice. Well done.

Lol - Driving on the left side wouldn't bother me at all. There are some parts around Springfield that are being worked on right now to revamp our bridges and on/off ramps and whatnot. They're going to be doing some type of inverted bridge or something.. I don't know what they're calling it, but we'll be driving on the left side of the road when it's done.

I've been looking at the shipping costs I've seen are around $1-2k.. I've also seen something about having to change out fog lamps, tail lights, head lights, etc. Does anyone know why that is?

That's definitely music to my ears. I'm definitely excited to hear that. I know the Z will have a place to fit in when I come over! I need to look up costs for exporting a car. I'm sure it'd be cheaper to just get a new Z over there, but we'll see.

Sounds fantastic. I love the photos that have been posted up. It really looks like you guys have a lot of great meets and a good turnout at all of 'em.

Wow.. you guys are amazing! Thanks soooooooo much for the warm welcomes!! The pictures you guys provided are amazing. The scenery is just awesome. I can't wait to come back over there!! I just wish I could bring the Z when I visit. Lol BulletMagnet - it's still illegal over here to drive without a front plate, but they can't pull you over or cite you for not having a front plate without having something else on you first. It's like a 'secondary citation' I guess. Kind of like tinted windows. My tint is 18% which is, in technicalities, illegal.. I've never been pulled over or bothered while owning this car about either of these issues and I've had it for two years next month. It sounds like they're pretty strict about having a front plate over there though, eh? I even thought to myself when looking at some photos on here.. "EVERYONE has a front plate." LOL And AK350Z.. or anyone -- tell me about this Jockland Hoon you speak of.

Wow.. that's amazing. I went to that Evo Triangle first.. I honestly didn't know what it was. Lol -- That's another reason I'd LOVE to come over here. The scenery. It's just flat out amazing.

How many km is the Evo Triangle?

Wow, thanks so much for the warm welcomes guys! It's really nice to be in a place where the people actually notice you're there! haha You all have some fantastic looking cars! Thanks so much!!

I was looking at places in Edinburgh. I was going to look in Aberdeen, too. Is it just me or is everything really cheap over there? I'm pretty sure I'm just not looking at the right stuff.. but it seems like what something over here would go for 1500$ USD per month is like.. 500$ USD over there.. My husband thinks it'd be cool to live in Glasgow since Glasgow is our last name. I'm pretty sure that's like 'Smith' over here.. one of the most common names.. but I may be mistaken. I figured it'd be easy to get around places.. but I love London so much. I'd just like to live over there regardless of where it is. Lol By the way.. are you aware of www.allaprovedcars.com -- if it's a legitimate site to find cars? I wouldn't be trying to import my Z over there or the husbands vehicle either for that matter. I'm not really too sure on where I could look online at least for cars over there. This may be a stupid reason.. but I've always wanted a right hand car, too. Lol

Thanks for the welcome! We're looking around Glasgow area, but I'm also trying to convince him to look around London or close by. I'd like to be able to go over to France and beyond easily. I've had this fascination with the UK ever since I went to Europe five years ago. Well.. my fascination started before that, but that just topped the cake. I have family in Germany and it'd be nice to see them, too. Springfield drivers are notorious for bad driving, so I need to at least get out of this city. Far away as possibly is good though We're going to visit over there hopefully sometime this year, but it probably won't be until next year just due to work and whatnot.

absolutely love this one Oh. My. Gosh. Those are some sexy rims!

Hey everyone! Name is Casi. I live in the US, however, the husband and I are debating moving to the UK sometime in the near (hopefully) future. I drive an '04 350Z Touring. I'm starting to work on my photography skills, so these aren't top notch pictures, but here she is:
