We often get that over here. A big bus load of Japanese tourists will pull up near where we are having a Z meet, and promptly take oodles of pics of the Z's. They love the old Z's too, especially given most of ours in really lovely condition. Quite funny given where the cars came from.
Generally good response towards the Bronzed One. Always, right from new had people approach the Z at the gas station or if I've stopped to take a few quick pics of the Z and they offer to buy it for more than current market rate, still happens now. Often get thumbs up from other drivers, had lots of "oh that's a shiny car comments".
