HaydnH Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Not sure about "chicks", but I do get the occasional seagull at work....who then poop on it Ahhh that famous internet movie, two birds one zed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Not a chick magnet, no. My Mrs does say its the first of my cars she's ever liked, but it gets most glances from young men and kids really. Not that it bothers me. When anyone asks what I drive and I say its a Nissan 350z, they always go "whats that then" which is reassuring, means they aren't chavy and common yet Unless the lady is a petrol head, it doesn't matter what you drive, until you get into the realms of Aston's and so on they don't care, the car has 4 wheels, its the same as the next car. To put a finer point on this. My partner has just ordered a brand new Vauxhall Adam without even so much as a test drive Didn't you tell your partner they should at least test drive it first?! I have no idea what a Vauxhall Adam is btw. Sounds rubbish already though imo being called "Adam" sorry. Haha yes of course I did but she didn't care how it drove, I quote "its just a car, they're all the same", a phrase which I couldn't even conjure up a reply too I was so shocked. Not my cup of tea either but she likes it so that's all that matters! Edited February 24, 2014 by cs2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I've bought cars without driving them. Great fun! Did the VXR220 and the 911 that way. Balls = kahunas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Have to say the only "chick" who commented on my 350z was my boss. So whether thats a good thing or not im not sure. However, I lost count of the number of blokes who commented on my 350z. Most saying how rare or how nice it was. Id have complete strangers stopping me when I was buying a pint of milk just to comment. Not had that with any other car ive had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostego Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 As a further update to the suggestion that this is a bloke magnet... I was driving in a multistorey car park today with the window down and one of the NCP (bastards! £6.40 for 2 hours and 10 minutes....) guards poked his head in as i was looking for a parking space and engaged me in conversation on how "sweet" my car was.... i obliged by revving the engine (which with decats sounds AMAZING in an enclosed space!). Seems at least I'm not alone in attracting the wrong kind of attention! The ebay listing for the car i bought had pictures of 3 hot girls posing around the car at a car show..... WHERE IS THIS CAR SHOW.... AND WHERE DO I SIGN!? There must be some grounds for me to sue for false advertising! If i were to sell this car the best I could muster up would be four 40-something blokes spread across the bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I got a, "that car's proper sick" the other day when I was washing the Zed. I think you can tell from the vocabulary the age of the lady in question... I did pull up at the main gate at work recently to find another GM zed in the gate office space. To my surprise, I wound down the window to compliment the vintage lady driver on her excellent taste. I know, that's well 007, yeah? Wasn't even my idea, the Zed made me do it Edited February 25, 2014 by SuperStu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roobies8 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Being one of the females on here and working in an Engineering Company (big engines), I get the "oh so that's your car" comments a lot from the men. The other females just like the "black soft top", but don't know what it us (I've de badged it as well, so gives them no clues)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 One day I might de badge too, but then replace the 350Z badge with Micra GT I did that to my old 106 GTi, I removed the GTi badges and stuck the grey 1.1 stickers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Having seen some of your ugly mugs on the 'face to username' thread I doubt that owning a modestly priced Japanese sports car that most people know nothing about is going to make much difference to 'pulling power' Most of the attention our Z gets seems to be from teenagers, including two who apparently saw my other half driving it one day and shouted "A woman! an 'fin woman drivin' a car like that!" Great to see we've come so far since those pesky women got the vote! Edited February 27, 2014 by sipar69 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I got some great attention today from a chick at a petrol station, oh wait no it was an older gentleman asking me how many times a month I have to fill up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
