Who said these were hairdressers cars.

Was quite surprised - had to go to 140 to see him off.

He looked like he was trying to come back and then

gave up!!

Dont you just love going past new or nearly new cars

in old J or K reg cars - I should imagine they get a bit

pizzed off.

This was all on the private test track by the way.

 

Mark

I would get your car looked at. An Audi TT is over a second slower 0-60.

 

Stuart

i was out in a brand new one we sold the other day, really not that special. nice finish to them tho IMO, kinda just a fun 2 seater more than a performance car :)

Stuart

 

It wasn`t a 0-60 race.

I was busy minding my own business about 120 and I see him

coming and let him carry on. I would guess he was going about

130 and I let him pass , then I change my mind and was doing 140 to pass him.End of the story

Mark

At the end of the day it's still a kill to add to your list Mark. Stand proud :D

Cheers Stuart - yeah thats all I was trying to say.

 

Mark:)

And whats more - dont know about you but my missus doesn`t

like the 300ZX - guess what she wants?

Yeah an Audi TT

Cant say I fancy them much myself.

Its a fashionable car. People go for them just for the look, but in 3-4 years time it wont be fasionable and no one will want them.

 

Saying that it has already lasted a few years. When I first saw one before they where really popular, I thought it was a squashed Beetle. It is really same engine at the end of the day ;)

 

Stuart

A mate of mine got assaulted on his own doorstep and held at knifepoint in his own house. The perpetrator tied him and his mrs up, just so he could steal the ....

AUDI TT on the drive. The robber explained his actions saying "it's your own fault fro driving around in the car I want!"

 

and the Police picked him up 3 days later trying to park his 'new' audi in a diabled space in Manchester city centre.

 

(He's doing 3 years now)

 

so the moral of this story is

 

Don't by an Audi TT - and don't let your lady by one either!

Don't know about 3-4 years Stuart; I reckon about September when the 350's on general release ! ;) :D :D

 

Don't reckon we'll see many new TiTis on the road then !

So long as you manage to get one of the 451 that Nissan have managed to earmark for the UK in 2003 ... otherwise you'll have to wait 'til 2004 for the next lot!:mad:

 

Nice one Nissan .. how come we always suffer, when there's squillions in the US???

 

Arse.

Yeah - that sucks !

 

Wish I'd taken up Bob Ford (at Arriva Peterboro) on his offer to put me on the list as soon as it came out !

 

Probably have been able to sell my reservation for a markup, and if not they could have sold it easily !

 

Makes the one's that do come in more prestigious though ! ;)

I don`t particularly fancy the Audi TT - but if it was a choice

between that or a 350Z - I`d go for the TT.

Be honest with yourselves the 350Z is bloody ugly.

It`s not a patch on the Z32.

You dont have to like it because its a Nissan "sports" car!

 

Mark

Mark wait till you see it in the flesh!

 

It will be a success!

Mark

 

I suppose it depends what you mean by a success.

The 280ZX was the biggest selling zed ever but did you

like it? - no it was a load of crap.

Quite often success doesn`t mean the car is actually any good.

It just means alot of people bought it.

Technically it is probably a very good car - it is just the look

of it I don`t like

Strewth - Don't let Mr Burns see this!:eek:

 

Actually, I had a 280zx for a few years, and as a 2-seater I think it was a really nice looking motor ... still turned heads, just like the Z32 does .... granted, it was no porsche eater, but as a sunny-day cruiser it still brought a smile to the face:D

 

"load of crap" - a bit harsh I'd say for any Z iteration.:mad:

 

Just my tuppence worth ...

 

CheerZ,

JB.

Thought the 240Z was the best ever selling sports car ?

 

Mainly on the basis that it outrun the porch of the time :D

 

They were certainly well rated, hence why they're trying to revive it's heritage and image now :cool:

Konrad

 

At its peak in 1973 the 240Z sold just over 50,000

The 280ZX in 79-80 sold over 70,000.

I think in 84 they had another similar sales high.

Then things nosedived until the Z32.

As Isaid before just because a car sold well didn`t

mean it was a great car , it just meant lots of people

bought it.

The 240Z on the other hand was a milestone car,

a world better than anything else at the time.

As for trying to revive their image - they will have to do

alot better than the 350Z.

They seem to me to be copying the trend too closely at the moment

ie.. Audi TT

I stand corrected :o

 

I was just going on what Pulling Power said about the 240 being the biggest selling sports of all time when they did that special on Z's (and I only remember that episode so well 'cause my Z32 was in it; hence I taped it)
