GC350z Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I’m used to the Z or my last car the Celica being photographed from overpasses or at the lights by pedestrians but I couldn’t believe what happened last Saturday. Passing through a small town on my way south to visit my mother the passenger in the car behind hung out the window to take pics. I sniggered and firmly planted my foot when exiting the town. About 20 mins later I was stopped at traffic lights in another town and watched a car pull up behind. Seconds latter three hands shot round from the rear seats all holding camera phones. For a moment I thought someone had written something on the back of my car. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 yep, a few times. Once came out of Magnets to find most of the employees standing around the Z. Another time had someone crossing the road in front of me at some lights. He crossed turned around and waited and watched me leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 The car, no (or not yet). Had a bloke once asking me if I was happy with it, coz a friend of him had one and got rid of it after 1 year and nothing but trouble with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek_ZR Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I got my Z in the local newspaper in Lille, the concierge guy was fascinated by cars and they did a story on it with a large picture. Got copies of the paper but no idea what the article says as I don't do French Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunker Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well the other night at KFC I created such interest that the duty manager gave me a free "Avalanche" ice cream, unless of course he just fancied me??? But today was great, turned up at Thruxton to get some info and a super car experience day was happening. The amount of people who were one second drooling over a Ferrari and Aston Martin suddenly shot their attention to my Zed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
