Typing clearly hasn't improved 🤦🏻‍♂️, nice TO be remembered LOL!

Thanks everyone, nice time be remembered! 😁

I went to see it in the Cambridge area, I believe someone bought it but I thought it was stripped for parts and scrapped - hopefully not 🤞🏻

Hi everyone, I was a member on here many years ago, was known for my detailing and valeting back then, and am trying to locate my favourite old Z (I've had five so far). It was a green slicktop NA manual, registration number N434 OGC. I foolishly passed up on the opportunity to buy it back, albeit in a very sorry state, a few years ago and I was led to believe it was broken up for parts not long after. However, I was just doing some nostalgic DVLA checks, as you do, and it looks like it's been back on the road since then, and the last MOT only expired in September this year. Does anyone on here own her, or know the owner? I would love to see the Z again 😁 Cheers all, Peach

I just lurk around in the background :ph34r:

Wow, talk about blast from the past! Still chat to Chunk, Dave and TPot on Facebook from time to time, Rich is now married and he’s all about the drift scene these days even after losing BOTH of his legs to two separate road accidents. Dave appears to be an extreme cross-country running fanatic, and Martin is a family man (much like myself). Nice to see such memories, I missed out on that day due to work, I miss the old days :)

Looking good mate! My detailing days are few and far between now - too many kids!! When I finally get round to sorting out my garaged Z, a good detailing session is definitely on the cards - and to be honest I can't wait! :) Got my bright white Legacy B4 to sort out soon too - white paint = sunglasses on :lol:

Just seen this! Thanks guys :) It was my 40th too, we had a great party on the Friday night - and I literally woke up on the Saturday night LOL!! :oops:

If I'mnot on holiday (that's our normal week to go away) I will pop along and say Hi as I'm only down the road :) That hotel and restaurant are excellent - we live 10 minutes from there and go there regularly :pint:

You're the second person to ask why I didn't take pictures! I'm obviously out of practice :P There will be a full multi-stage detail, including a bit of wet sanding, in the spring. With lots of pictures :D

Got the new Z out of storage for a good wash/dry/polish, and then back into storage and SORN'd till spring. Felt good to valet a Z again, it's been a while :)

I've had 2x lwb auto TT's, and 2x swb manual NA's, and now a lwb auto NA - the manual NA is definitely my favourite so far. I've only got an auto this time because everything else about the car was so right, and I certainly don't mind an auto, but it may get converted one day. I found the TT to be a lot of hassle - warming up/cooling down etc. - whereas I can just jump in the NA and go. Sure, it's a bit slower but it's still a Z, and that's what give you the feels when you're driving it. Don't get me wrong, my dream car is a manual TT slicktop, but that won't be happening anytime soon LOL :)

Congrats! And happy birthday young man :)

Hi fellas, Thanks for the welcome back. As always, FunkySi is right :D I did do my fair share of detailing in the past but rarely find the time to indulge these days (I now have four - yes four - very time consuming daughters that come first. I had none when I had my first two Zeds!) - hopefully the new toy will rekindle that old passion. This is Z no.5 for me, with my past loves as follows: No.1 No.2 (the best!!) No.3 No.4 And now, no.5 And my current daily, which I love and will find very difficult to part with :( Now I look at it, I've had some lovely cars LOL!! Roll on next summer :dance:

Thanks Gaz - can't wait to get detailing in the spring :thumbup:
