More but cant remember

I guess I'm a lot older than most of you guys but haven't had that many really. My family have always kept cars long term and I guess I'm the same...

 

1st : Ford Fiesta Popular 1.0

2nd : Rover 214 SLi (very classy interior and super revvy Honda inspired engine)

3rd : Vectra SRi 150 (was a brand new company car, I was 25 and I still have a soft spot for it. Jet black, fast and excellent handling).

4th : Mercedes E280 Avantgarde Tiptronic - CURRENT

5th : Nissan Micra LS 1.0 (Wife's)

6th : Nissan Micra Shape 1.0 - (Wife's) - CURRENT

7th : Nissan 300ZX NA - CURRENT

 

Future plans:

 

Who knows the future, but would like to replace the E280 with a Merc CLS (best looking saloon IMO) and keep the Zed for a while. Pity there is no upgrade path for the Z as both 350Z and 370Z are 2 seaters. Skyline R34? (R35 way out of budget!)

First car - 1992 Rover Mini 998 (current but sorned, don't think I could ever get rid of it)

Second car - 1989 Ford Fiesta (cheap run around while the mini was being repaired when I wrote it off)

Third car - 1995 Ford Mondeo (given by my grandad when he could no longer drive, couldn't really refuse)

Fourth car - 2008 Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 (current, cheapest lease car I could find which would allow me to have an unreliable second car...

Fifth car - 1993 Nissan 300zx (current)

1.0 nova saloon D219 TTN, lowered with 60mil spax suspension and had gte brakes and trim, was one of the best handlng cars ive ever drove lol

You are the second person so far to have sold a very powerfull Supra to buy A Z32 would you mind telling us why ?

 

i had two cars.one was a black 300zx.i moved house and only had room for one.so i got shot of them both and just had one car.most cars i have had it was time to sell but i had sold the 300 befour i had wanted to.

iwas allways going to go back to a 300 but never got round to it.as for the supra....i loved the car and shit was it quick.i had it off the clock at 180 and it was still pulling.NO it WAS NOT ON THE ROAD..

but i had my fun with it and if i would have keeped it ithink i would have lost my liecence.no i had done all i could do to it and it was just time for a change.

Nap, Just a few questions if I may...... Which in your opinion was the most reliable car Z32 or Supra, I know this depends on the actual car but which car would you choose to drive around the world ?

How did you find the handling comoared to the Z32 ?

And what about the build quality between the two cars ? Thanks
