Forgotten what it was like taking a Z to the petrol station

Since we bought the Espace and the Alfa, the Z has barely been used with it being winter and under way as a project, it's just been sat in the garage. Now I think I know what's wrong with the Alfa and need to wait for parts, the Z has come out to play for a few days. Seems it developed some all round slow punctures being sat for so long, so just took it to the petrol station to fill the tyres again, my god it's like people have never seen one before! lol

About the same as any other car, what's painful is the amount of times you need to lol

Last time i was at the petrol. a bloke got out of his astra vxr and started shouting at me what is it. what is it ive got to have one. Must of been smashed off his head on something because he was really aggressive. It freaked me out a little tbh

 

Then i went to pay and the polish bloke asked. what is it i thought oh ffs, he wouldnt have it, that it was a 20year old datsun.

Hi Hollowpoint been trying to get hold of yah! any luck with weighing up the diff mate?

Nah post office has barely been open over Christmas bud, trying to find a slot when a country post office is open around this time of year is like trying to find one of the three R32 GTRs that were officially imported into this country with red leather interior. I'll get it weighed just after new year mate and let you know.

lol :gun_bandana::gun_bandana:

I find its often the middle aged guys here who make comments on mine, generally about being a young fella with taste in cars, others comment on how they always wanted one but the wife wouldn't allow, often asked what it is by 16 year olds with thier 500 dollar crap cars... that was with my old z which was bog stock apart from wheels and a really ugly bumper, and it was 4 different colours, with all the mods on the current one i suspect it'll be a head turner... we're all attention whores.
