Hi Chris,

Welcome to the OC, there are a few meets planned over the next month in the South, click the calender and you will see a few, one on the 2nd I think and one the week after at a Dyno day.

So what did you buy and you need to get some pics posted

Hi Mark

I bought a 2004 350z GT Coupe (UK Car) with Rays in Silver with Black leather. Collect it on Saturday and really looking forward to it now!

Thanks for the advice on the meets - I will have a look :-) didnt get that involved in meets with my Alpina BMW but wanted to (mainly because there are virtually none on the roads so not very regular meets...and when there were it seemed only a handful of people showed up!). Quite keen to get involved with this forum mind :-)

Cool, meets in the winter have less people, but summer gets better!! There is also a big Members meet later on in the year.

Good choice of colour by the way Looking forward to the pics. We dont expect to hear off you till after dark on Saturday

lol true true - I think I will be driving it quite a bit...I am supposed to be driving from MK to Oxford then Bristol and back the same day so its a perfect opportunity to try it out properly and put it through its paces. How do you find the fuel on a run by the way having 6 gears? My alpina was shocking as only had 5....lucky to get 23mpg really. TBH im not expecting much more from the 3.5 in the 350z...:-)

Do you live in the Oxford area? I'm in Abingdon, just down the road, so we could have a mini-mini-meet some time!

[chughes163]

lol Abingdon as well - is yours a black 350z by any chance that i keep seeing around Peachcroft?

[Dr Zoidberg]

Hahaha, that's me!

Hi and welcome,

The meets are great. All really nice normal (well most of us ) people. Look forward to seeing you soon

[chughes163]

haha thats really funny! I past you again yesterday, having put the deposit down on my one - it looked lovely and made me wish I had my one now! Black would have been one of my top choices, but my last 2 cars have been black and fancied a change lol it does look mint :-)

I also see a grey 56 plate 350z off The Vineyard in Abingdon - anyone off here?

Yea everyone seems very friendly - I think the Nissan badge says a lot too....in that people dont really buy it for 'kudos' - like say a mercedes or bmw...hence maybe a different kind of person?
