Alex Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hey Guys, Yesterday I collected my 350 from the local Nissan dealership and all I can say is wow! Im still a bit cautious as going from a 1.6 to this so tend to take it quite easy. It is such an easy car to drive and has a good ride, im so happy with this and can see myself holding into this for a little while to come. Only concern is that my mum is using it too just now till she goes back abroad end of next month as she is working temporary here which means no Nissan till after 5pm . Soon as I get it later if the weather stays sunny I will get some photos taken and uploaded to the site. So hopefully any meets or events that are hosted soon I am now worthy of going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Excellent news Little trick you can use is make sure the car is empty of fuel when you've finished with it at then end of the night. Then your mum will have to fill it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I am still around here in Scotland, not every single day of the week, (and now with a 407 ) but still.... if anyone wants to meet up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your mum will have to fill it up Good idea save me the money, i mean I put it to a full tank last night and today its just at half which aint bad considering a fair bit of driving, and not always slow including a drive to Edinbugh and back! Well Minel I will meet up if you still fancy it, I think revsport was up for it too, wonder if derek would as he stays about a 15min drive from me lol! If you wanna orgaise something I would be up for that, as long as its either weekend or after 5 during the week as my mum will be using it then for a little.

Derek_ZR Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I might (hopefully) be on holiday next week if you and the guys want to meet up. Alex, You didn't come out of the Shell Lizzie Bryce at about 9.45pm did you tonight ? I was sitting illegally at the exit in a blue MG ZR on my mobile and was positive it was a Z coupe in my rear view mirror coming out of the garage onto the roundabout.

Alex Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Im not sure but I went into Shell yesterday twice, and the secong time was later at night, so it could well have been As I always fill up there for the wee birdy that works behind the counter, damn tasty With regards to meeting up now that we know you and minel could make it, I will PM rev and see what he says cause I havent seen alot of him these days.

Removed Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 so monday evening? you guys wanna come @ my hotel for a drink? there's a couple of pubs/bars too near the " fairground" which is still closed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek_ZR Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Sounds good to me. I need to work Monday but will finish at a decent time so no need to worry. What about the others ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sounds good to me man, I spoke to rev and he said just let him know when and where and thats cool so if Monday suits then Derek can just post when he is available on the monday and then we can get time sorted. If that suits everyone? P.S. Car goes in tomorrow to note some issues, (car came with the passenger handle scratched quite bad, not like length but depth and the vent on passanger side is broken). Tonight I hit the car door from some one elses motor, an unusual and will NEVER HAPPEN again to my baby So hopefully Nissan can sort that as it haws left a small ripple and scrape on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek, you got a postcode or description for Deer Park ? I don't know Livingston at all. Also, if you PM me a mobile number, I can let you know by 6pm whether or not I'll be coming - will save you waiting around wondering.

Derek_ZR Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Gus, If you come on the M8 at Hermiston Gait, go past the Newbridge cut off then take the next one at Livingston. On the slip road, go to the roundabout at the end, keep to the right as the road on the left merges away to miss he roundabout. The BP Services are right ahead of you - can't miss them, 2nd exit on the roundabout with a Premier Travel Inn on it's right hand side. I'll PM you my mobile number.
