I'm sure we've all been through it, I have in the past, but only vaguely. Despite spending a fortune on my Z and putting many hours into making it as good as I can, I've been slowly falling out of love with it. I mean I do still love the Z32 as a car, I still think it's an awesome machine from a really interesting era of automotive development, but feel the passion of ownership slowly ebbing away and there's seemingly nothing that I can do to reinvigorate that.

 

I've always said I'd never sell it, but the more time slips away, the more I am contemplating it. I've been toying with the idea of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage or something completely at the other end of the spectrum, a Z06 Corvette. Something a little more modern, but just as nuts (well, in terms of a Z06 C6) and yes, I am well aware of their rear suspension, but that's easy to remove and replace. I think I'm getting old and just not really finding the enthusiasm for keeping the passion of Z32 ownership alive. I've never kept a car as long as I have done, I've always gotten bored and sold them, but that's maybe where I'm at now however it's just taken slightly longer to get there.

 

Don't really know what to do to be honest.

That makes a little more sense although I do enjoy 'the underdog' aspect of the Z32.

You will regret it Si...... and I think deep down you already know it!

I think the fact you wont get anywhere near what you have spent and worse still anywhere near some of the silly figures getting thrown into the hat as to what these cars are worth will be the deciding factor in you keeping it Simon:wink: Remove those red wheel center caps and you might fall in love again:D

Change it! your not married, no kids, no ties, a good job, jeez feller a few here would like to be in your position, go get the best you can afford be it an Aston a Ferrari or what ever, this life is not a rehearsal, this is it, once its gone, IT`S GONE enjoy your personal freedom, for me a 1 year old DB11 would just sit nice at the moment.... (hint)

 

 

 

Change it ( see above )

 

 

 

Yes it is. ( see above )

And after the Skyline, I've always fancied a Ferrari but can't ever see that, though an older V12 Aston would do :)

I might be a mouthy ****, but I'm not stupid Bri. :lol:

 

I'd be lucky to get back 1/4 of what I spent on the Z, but that doesn't concern me so much. I'd never want a wildly high figure I am realistic with these things. It would be at the top end of the scale for sure, but not over the top.

 

I am leaning more toward keeping it and getting another toy at the end of the year and just living with lots of cars.

Yes you are and i don't remember saying you are stupid.. I am stupid though as my bikes, trucks, and cars cost me 9 road tax,s ,MOT, insurances a year.

At the end of the day just be happy with what you have and what life has thrown at you. Enjoy life.
