Gus-350z

Welcome!

Welcome along!

Now would you look at that... Absolutely stunning mate! Bet you're thrilled with it!

Welcome! Where abouts in Brum are you based?

Hi mate! Posted them in the memory lane thread if you're interested!

Welcome dude! I spend most of my time up here in Durham, so hopefully see your zed drive through some time!

Welcome dude!

Cheers mate!

Hi mate! Oh that would be awesome! I always feel so so much happier buying from owners clubs for the obvious reasons! Umm basically looking around for a pre '55 plate (so as to avoid the tax hike, as insurance is already a small fortune for me), then ideally around the £4500 mark.. So I don't really mind a slightly higher milage as I appreciate that it's near the bottom of the price range. Although a second option, if the right car was to become available... I would be extremely tempted to sell the other cars (which don't get used a great deal anymore anyway) which would put my budget somewhere up around in the £6k bracket. So yeah keeping my options open really, and just treating each car individually... But if a fairly decent one came up around £4500 I would probably end up snapping it up almost straight away And distance wouldn't be an issue (within reason haha). But yeah I'll be keeping my eyes open on the forums and the usual listing sights now anyway, but if someone on here fancies a change and could give me a shout then that would be absolutely perfect!! Cheers again guys

Oh and also (just a quick question) do you guys have a facebook page I can follow? (Edit: Just found it!)

Thanks for all the messages guys! (Have just posted the old'uns in the post above if anyone's interested!)

First car (which I still own!) Is this beautiful 1988 Austin Mini Mayfair... The Mayfair model was meant to be upmarket meaning it had a tape player as standard and a burr walnut dashboard and accessories (very snazzy!) And here's her engine with a number of tasteful mods! The next one was another mini, this time in red which belongs to my mate who is the guy I restore/modify cars with! Between us we have also restored and now run this Beautiful, (and pretty scary) TR6 Which is powered by this beast Also went through a very quick phase with this 924 which was good fun! On the look out for a tasty 350z now though!

Hey everyone! Just a quick one to say hi! My name's Angus and I'm from B'ham in the West Midlands... Although I spend most of my time "oop North" in Durham where I study! Unfortunately not a zed owner (yet), but have a fairly interesting car history for my age... or so I'm told! Previous cars to date include a lovely old Austin Mini (first car/love, which I basically built up from scratch and still have luckily!), a joint owned Triumph TR6 (again part of an ongoing re-build project), a Porsche 924 (owned and restored breifly but then sold) and then a sensible old honda civic family car (which makes a nice change from the rusty minis and TRs, and actually works!!) Hopefully this summer (or maybe sooner, who knows!) I will manage to find myself a good 350z! (Ever since driving a mate of mine's last year, and seeing how surprisingly affordable they are, considering the amount of car you get for your money, I have dreamed of owning one!) Although originally I did look into the original Zed, the 240, but they are coming so few and far between now days that even a wreck would set me back more than a 350z, although I would absolutely love to try and restore (or at least own) the original fairlady one day, I feel I will have to wait until I can earn a little bit more money however! Anyway back to the 350! Yeah basically going to be religiously checking the usuals; autotrader/piston heads/ebay etc. everyday and hopefully go and check some out until I manage to find myself one! So thought I would come and quickly say hi, as one of my favourite parts of "proper" car ownership is the owners clubs (already being a member of the 924 owners club, classic Mini owners club, and Triumph club). So yeah! Can't wait to get into zed ownership and then try and get myself along to some of the meets to meet you guys! Sorry for all the text! Gus P.S If you guys are anything like the other owners clubs you'll all love pictures! So I'll happily upload some pictures of the Triumphs, Minis and 924s I've owned/own/restored... I just thought I'd ask first to see if there was any interest, as afterall, this is a 350z club and not an old British Leyland club! I'm afraid this is the best I can offer until I get a 350!
