Hi - Simon here - two weeks ago I went and test drove a 370z at the Oxford Nissan dealer after spending hours drooling over the look & noise of them on YouTube. Glad to say that test drive lived up to my own hype ;-) So a week later and a lot of begging to the other half, I bought a 11 plate 370 GT Connect Premium in grey from the Bognor Regis dealer. Thinking of keeping it stock for now except maybe some spacers to give it a more aggresive stance. And maybe swapping out the front and rear badges. And blacking the front and rear valences. And illuminated sills. And an exhaust. And and and... lol

Hi Simon :welcomenissansportz:

Congratulations on getting the Zed. A very good choice sir!

It would be good if you can make it to the mod day. There will be several 'first timers' and lots to see. I think your mod list is shaping up nicely already!

Paul :)

Right on both accounts... ;-) Actually - that's not entirely fair, I went expecting to drive a slightly cheaper car than they had. Given I don't do many miles a year, I couldn't justify buying their sub-1k miles car. And I really wanted a manual. Hence I bought mine with 7.4k on the clock and got it for a £2k cheaper....

Have already looked into the cost of getting the wheels re-coated...!
