Wendy Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well there is that - yes, and I actually like owning cars that are not quite the norm or so popular, but it is also nice to see others - just occassionaly. Best is - my other car is a VW Corrado VR6 - didn't see one of those either !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 must have been very unlucky with all that driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) To top that - it rained hard all throught the final BTCC Race, the walk back to the car, the 30 minutes wait getting out of the car park. It actually got heavier and by the time I joined the A1, torrential - Just Superb !!! So much for my thinking rather than doing.............. I had been meaning to ask - What are the general views of driving in the wet ? I have been half thinking of doing a Skid Pan Day............. Coming from years of front wheel drive ownership, in half decent speed and performance vehicles. I think it may be the faster more assuring way of learning the differences of drive and reaction in a rear wheel drive car. And, its bugging me, I know of 7 weeks ownership and 1200 miles (too many motorway!) that I can drive the Corrado quite abit faster. Guess impatience plays a part !!! But still........... Any tips, points to observe ? Also the clutch catch/grip/bite is quite high ? Is that normal ?? Suddenly masses of questions and - 'All because the lady didn't see another Z ' :lol: Edited June 23, 2013 by Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRFulton Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I don't think I have ever seen another 370Z, except my own and the ones at the dealership. Certainly since I started considering buying one in Late October, I definitely have never seen another one, as I was aware of them. Considering I drive circa 30k a year, it does show how rare they are! Seen a few 350Z's in that time, but again, not lots.

Suddenly masses of questions and - 'All because the lady didn't see another Z ' :lol: I find the bite point quite high too...and generally quite a bit harder than the C! I think it just takes a little getting used to ...won't be long before you drive it faster then the C...wait...is that possible!!? And if you find a good skid pan training session please let me know....should get my wife on one.... I see a couple of Z's almost every day...one parks where I work (same colour as the wife's) and a couple around Abingdon... black 370 and an older orange 350.

JetSet Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) If I've got my decimal places right there less than 2 350Z's for every 10,000 cars in The U.K and that figure would be just over 2 if you combine 350's and 370's. I've driven to Cardiff and back many times, a round trip of 320 miles and can only ever recall seeing 3 . Another thing, you're even luckier if you spot a forum member, I guess I've reported at least 30 "spots" of which only 3 turned out to be definite forum members.
