What is the average age of a Z owner? ( I know I have too much time on my hands) can everyone post their ages? am I the youngest owner (22) or is there someone younger?

30 but STILL not old enough to get a deal on insurance (getting pissed off).

 

Vijay

Ok gang, average age of Z ownership so far is 28 and a half years old, average mental age is 12 years old I still (to the best of my knowledge) have the highest insurance premium: £4196 third party only with a full no claims bonus

Motoring in Ireland sucks...

used to have a 260z a long time ago

I am 26 but I have 2 questions.

 

KSZX - How much is your insurance?

and

Vielside - Did you do thUni thing like me where HSBC just threw money at you?

I'm 26 and quite unusually can't think of one off topic thing to say so...... oh well you can't win em all eh

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

 

Maybe we could do a survey of age AND auto/manual - see if its the whipper snappers who drive manuals or if its just a general spread....

 

Light blue touch paper and stand well back.......

Further to that Misseur Duffman Hoffman, I did notice on a recent thread that alot of you Emmanuelle girls are having judder problems due to arse flywheels and replacement clutches!

 

I don't see a flood of Auto owners asking about rebuilds...do you?

 

Just proves the manuals do get shredded and evidently WEAKER than autos. LMFFFFFAO!

 

BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Well, after being traumatized by an auto as a young lad, I am a manual man, through and through!

While having a discussion on MSN messenger tonight we have come up with the FINAL answer to the auto/manual debate - auto drivers like to have their hands free so they can WANK Thats it - sorted now

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

And drivers with manuals are just practicing on the gear lever !!!!!

 

Your choice ....

only 31 going on 71 when trying to scrape together money to get spolier fixed... in the mist of having house re built and it's costing thousands!!!!

 

... you only live once so why not live it well, in a jap auto z...

 

Robb

I'm 22 and drive an auto Z, and in response to veilsides inquiry, my insurance company are the only one I could find who would insure me in the first place and because of some assholes crashing their mums corsas into lamposts, insurance is set to go up 20% for under 25s this year in Ireland meaning come renewal time I'll be paying £5,000....fun. (oh, did I mention road tax? £721....more fun.

KSZX - How much is your insurance?

 

I live in America so different insurance rates would apply, I pay about $180 a month

 

$2160 a year, mind you I paid a year in advance, never had a speeding ticket (this will probably change)

 

which is odd cause I've been known to hit 90mph on 40mile zones..... I guess the cops would think

 

(oh wait, that was fast..... by the time i put down this donut.....ah shit bad idea)

 

anyways I had 1 accident that was cleared since it was barely over 3years ago, which I paid for my insurance early last month.

 

I also have 2 cars insured solely by me, a 1998 Toyota Camry (work car) 1990 300zx TT (joy ride / weekend / date / when I'm really pissed car) so I got multicar discount, actually I also put in my old car in my insurance for the hell of it also which I'm still selling, a 1987 lincoln mark5 with a 5.0L v8, my first car

 

so 3 cars multicar discount, discount only really applies when they're all on 1 driver, also I'm with mercury insurance which is more than generous with insurance rates to teenagers.

When I had my Z I was 20 yrs old with 7 points. I was paying £1400 fully comp on a modded Z TT valued at 10k. (Senna has it now). Problem was I had an £800 excess!!

A.....multicar....discount....hmmm.... over here, they think with more than 1 car you have more chance of crashing so it costs more...

 

Mind you, I'm only paying £500ish for mine, F/C, FNCD(protected) no points (I'm a good girl /*innocent look*/), 2 cars on the policy, 12000 miles pa...so can't really complain.

 

Even when I got the MR2 at 19 my insurance was only £800 with 2 years NCD.

 

 

33 and I shaved my beard off a 6 weeks ago 'cause I was looking just too old! lol

 

Tim

21, 19?!!! My God, I bet you had to take a mortgage out for the insurance!!!

 

I was 21 when I got a 280ZX & crashed it 3 months later!

 

Now I'm 33 & have had a TT 4 2 years but haven't crashed it!

Ajay,

Well with more practice I guess that could make you ...erm.... very popular !!!

I just looked at my birth certificate and it says I was born in 1965,Christ was it that long ago.

 

Dean 36

Oh do we have to go this route again? LMFTO(T=Tits)????????

 

You manual guys dress your gearsticks up with silvery knobs...just like vibrators...do I need to say more? ROFL

I'm 33 and a half.
