I picked up my Z from Southampton - the culmination of months and months of searching for the right one.
I can vividly recall the feeling of elation as I finally got to see my Z in the flesh, so to speak. After having stayed up all the previous night as I was far too excited to sleep, and having endured 7 hours on a train to get there, the state of euphoria I experienced when I picked up the keys will forever be etched in my memories.
Not even being pulled over by the Police, literally as I exited the gates of Southampton Docks was going to spoil my day. The 300-odd mile journey back home was a pleasure - at last, my own Z32!
It's funny how quickly the year seems to have passed. My Z is still my pride n' joy, more so, in fact, than it was back then. Usually I get bored of cars after about 6 months...
The reason I put up this thread is to say that the best thing I've done since buying the Z is to pay to be a subscribed member here. Without the help offered here and the traders' discounts, I'd have unnecessarily spent shit-loads of cash and probably have a knackered car. More important than that though, I'd have several less friends than I do now.
So, a huge thanks to all the forum guys that've helped me out so far with help and advice. A further huge thanks to Mr. Greddy, Peter, Danny, Smithy, DaveC, Topless and Ryan for the savings! :)
Finally, a special thanks to Mac, Jonce and ChrisC for helping me to knack my clutch! :rofl: Seriously though, thanks very much guys for the help you've given me so far - it's much appreciated!
Here's to the next year of Zeddery. Probably to include knackered turbos and an engine rebuild...
