  1. Welcome to Z ownership. A good detail or two should put the car wash sins to oblivion.
  2. Congratulations. Post up a pic. No we don't.......................................................... much!
  3. So you have our attention. Nice previous beasties there.
  4. Lol, for shame. Should we forgive him?!
  5. Nice critique Dan. When it all comes down to it, doesn't matter what badge it has on it, if you're someone that enjoys driving, that's all that matters. Hope you have as much pleasure out of the 911 as you did out of the Z33.
  6. Lol, in all truth the Bronzed One stayed at home, all warmed and tucked up. 4WD was the word of the weekend. We went down some mighty rough 4WD tracks, that even with 50cms + ground clearance on the 4WD was interesting. These pics are taken almost half way down the North Island. We were actually wondering on Saturday morning when we got up if there was to be snow around the lodge, but no such luck. But the lodge is only at 925metres above sea level, so not high. As apposed to the mountains nearby at 2300 metres. And stir................... Just buy Liz lots of memory cards and you'll be away. Just come over when there's a big Z event, ie in your Autumn & Winter. Next month is Nizfest, December is a big Xmas party, February is Z track day (people come from all over), and then the 30th Anniversary of the club in May. And stir......................... Thank you. It certainly is. We're very spoiled here, so much to do, beaches, moutains, hiking, sailing etc, lol do we sound an out doorsey lot?!
  7. Welcome to back to the fold Victor (well almost when you've found one ). Did you have an NA or TT?
  8. Welcome to the forum. What colour and spec is your baby? Hope there isn't too much damage and you get it back on the road soon.
  9. Welcome to the forum. And still no pics of the GT. A really bright silver (depending on which tone of silver it is now) would show off it's curves, oh but then candy apple. [slurp] You have to give us before an after shots. Did you change the colour of your previous car given your industry?
  10. Looks good. Now you must be a good Z parent and keep it that way. Black looks so lovely when it's freshly cleaned and fully waxed. Even found myself ogling a few very shiny black cars today.
  11. Great that you've found a car. Would be curious to hear if the fronts are matching Continentals as well? So you're not mixing grip levels and tread patterns etc, etc.
  12. Matt, we sympathise, but what is the structure like if it's probably a write-off? A lot of cars are never quite the same after a big hit.

    key issue

    Perhaps it might be worth doing a search on one of the big US forums, there must be TSB bulletins available for the 370 now given they've been out a year and a half.
  14. Well, we were to have a Zclub weekend at the snow at Mt Ruapehu (this was a couple of weekends ago), but the weather had other ideas. Brilliant weekend though, great accommodation, absolutely stacks to do, even though the mountain was closed on Saturday due to the weather and very high winds on Sunday, so think, 4WD'ing, caving, walks to falls and rapids up to the Bruce (started at 1500mtrs-end 1800 mtrs, rain, hail & snow), amazing views, plus heaps more! This is the mountain (Mt Ruapehu) we spent our time on and around. http://www.mtruapehu.com Please note, no Z's were used or harmed in the making of this thread. Power of a different kind. Rapids on the way back to the lodge. We went 4WD'ing, both days. One of the more sedate 4WD tracks, the rest were no hope of pic whilst moving, too much tilting back and forth. Another track, bit more narrow this time, action shot. :twisted: Okupata Caves, looking out of the entrance. Sorry no pics inside the cave. You scramble through a narrow, low ceilinged bit, then it opens to almost shoulder height. Amazing inside the cave, lots of fresh branches wedged into the roof too, glow worms. The cave frequently flash floods after heavy rain and snow in the area. This link gives you some idea what the caves are like inside. http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recrea ... ng-tracks/ Natives disturbed, Blue Ducks that is. The ducks were a bit like models, the rocks their catwalk. Strutting about, you had to be there. There is just so much to see around the area, even though the snow wasn't a go. Might be a few more pics from Saturday's walk at Silica Falls, up to the Top of the Bruce, if I can get the owner of the camera phone to email his pictures. That walk was particularly amazing walk. With the added drama of wind, rain, hail and snow dusting your shoulders too and superb mountain terrain above the bush line. The mountain bikers on this forum, would absolutely love this area, stacks of tracks, and 4WD tracks so you get a jump or two in. Lots of places to investigate. Not too cold either, as it's Spring here now. Was only minus 6 right up on top of the mountain when we went up for a hot drink after our walk in the snow, hail and rain. Probably about 10 degrees 1000 metres down from the top of the mountain (top of the mountain is 2300 metres), so quite pleasant. In height of Summer Feb-March around 25 degrees up top.
  15. Can you stretch birthday celebrations out all week, then you can party all over again.
  16. Now I wonder if the Nissan Jikoo is Mart's new roadster?! Can almost imagine the Nissan London Cab and Ivo on the roads given the way things are going. Mitsi Orochi is quite interesting.
  17. Ya know, the longer you leave it, the more sort after & pricey they will become, as the one's past the point are parted out, and the remaining ones will just glow. Happening so much now.
  18. Party, party, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Vik! Oh, and one of these for tomorrow, for the hangover.
