The G Man

An opinion, by it's very nature, can never be the truth. A fact can be true, an opinion not. Personally I can think of half a dozen new fun cars I'd buy instead of the 370ZN under £35K, including a standard 370, but that's just me. As long as you're happy with your purchase then that's all that really matters, but decrying someone else for daring to have an opinion that differs from yours? Do you really think that's fair? Just as I thought, way over your head, whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh, and it's gone.

you must be over the moon with the results of this rebuild, top notch workshop there at RT methinks Would almost make the prang worth it

There's a particular bend that I take to get to my village after coming off the motorway, it's a particular favourite as if you get out of shape a bit, there's not much in the way of harm you can come to. Anyway, I've test driven a lot of cars, round this bend and today, was the first time I dared take the revs up a bit and sort of semi attack it, fanfechintastic, very flat and the torque, it's way superior to my uprevved 370, by a long way and that's no lie. Early days buddy, but, once the leash is off...........

same with Trabants ??? seen loads

Yes Dan, IMO, but the truth, I don't lie, I'd buy Neils though, but I couldn't afford it and it's not NEW.

Right, I've stopped laughing now, I bought it to tide me over until I get a better car in three year time, the time wasn't right at the mo, well more to th point, the money wasn't. When the three years is up, I'll trade it in, like I've always done, and get something brand new and better. There are no pockets in a shroud. The Nismo, is the best quality, no hassle, no brainer choice for under 35k new, end of, full stop. Trust me, I've looked.

WTF do you think I bought this car for future value :lol: I'll stop laughing in a bit :lol: no can't yet

I'll repeat again, I've owned a 370Z GT pack from new, it cost justa tad under 32k, I upgraded the exhaust, Hi Flo cats, Uprevved it, lowered it, put cosworth panel filters in it, put on front and rear mudguards, I nearly bought the Amuse kit for it. The total cost for that little lot was about 3.5k or thereabouts. That took my stock 370z to 324 point something, gave me a bit of a better handling 370z, and made a bit of noise. But all that cost MORE than I paid for the Nismo. Now I hate auto's, I test drove the auto 370, it was sh1t, slow, poor responsiveness and a 1.5k option, I wouldn't have taken one if it was heavily discounted with the added bonus of a knob extension for free, and it still would be sh1t even if you threw 100 uprevs at it. The Roadster is as expensive, new as a Nismo, I test drove one of them as well, it was, well not for me. Now boys, well, as someone put it, the haters, I've now got a car that gives better suspension better, brakes, (that was next on a stock 370 as they fade under heavy braking, not immediately but quite quickly), better seats, some nice noise, more torque and THE most desirable body kit, that we all know, will for years have a million threads in the wanted section, looking for this and that. If you don't like it, that's good, don't buy one, but, again, your living in some sort of fantasy world if you think that someone would take my old stock 370, with all the little bits we strive to "add", in the search for perfection, over a Nismo version. Anyway, I love it, there's no added Nismo bits on it, no wannabe GTR bits, and is a damn fine looking car, so there! At ya Awaits all the usual sh1te from the usual suspects with the usual selective editing and the usual sarky comments, and it's only Wednesday, I've not even started my serious weekend drinking yet Don't think that was a bite either old beans, I'm having a laugh, at the negative comments mostly, but at life in general

Nice one Buster, did you check she was still breathing? Well, I'm off to Bicester weekend after this one, now that's exotic

You know what, there did seem like a difference today in the sunshine, but as soon as you changed the angle of stare, it went away, also, I think the way the body kit is shaped throws a lot of curves inward and outward that tricks the eye. I've decided it's a feature so it's a good thing , will get the boys on this Sunday's meet onto this for fresh opinion.

On that note, I passed one of them Toyota gt86 jobbies today, in white, as we passed in opposite directions, I stayed cool and aloof (or looked like a poof, one or the other) and, while he gawped at my frickin great Nismo, I pretended to stare straight in front Lovely looking car though

Don't know your personal circumstances Ricey, but the true test of those gonads is not looking yourself in the eye in a mirror, but looking your partner/spouse/children'parents, whoever your dependents are in the eye and still knowing it was the right decision. Sometimes you have to eat sh1t, so that those dependents don't have to. But fair play to you, now go sh1t on your bosses desk

So you've found a bolt for your, erm, backend then Thanks guys for the kind comments, looking forward to meeting up with you all on Sunday

Here you go http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/75618-took-delivery-of-this-bad-boy-and-bad-girl-today/

You must've been scoffing burgers when I was talking about it

Oh dear, what have I done They're wrong on nearly every count, but that's what you get from Mike Hunt's Nothing about the money you'll save in the gym, from working Popeye's knob. Yeah get a poverty spec cayman for a few grand more, love that, having just turned a Porsche garage upside down looking for a deal ​Oh well, I'll just have to live with the embarrassment

Yes buddy, put a small bead of copperslip on the valve threads You're a very naughty boy
