Lol Same reaction... I was about 20 and had almost the same reaction... sat in it and ran my hand along the contours of the Glove box across to where it blends into the door and "hung out" in the Car Dealer for about an hr bugging the guy about it! lol
Yup was pretty much my reaction when I was thirteen. That's when my mum bought me my first piggie bank and I got my first job. My dad wouldn't let me get a TT for a first car (back then there was no such thing as P plates) but nothing stopped me getting a TT for my second car. Unfortunately an electrical fault turned it to ash, 7 years later I jumped back into the game with my current Zed. The End .....
I actually ended up buying the very first 300zx I recall seeing. After seeing it, it made me want to know more about the car, then when I got the idea in my head of actually offering the guy who owned it some money for it I started to see the car everywhere. Great knowing there are plenty if people around in them still today.
Isn't it funny when you start thinking of a certain type of car they all of a sudden start jumping out of the wood works. How much did you offer the previous owner and did you get it first go ?
$3k initially and he wasn't going to part at the time, he came back a year later and went for the same deal I said sure but was very very lazy about it and he ended up asking again but at $2.5k. Now that I am finally driving (on a UVP albeit) I am loving it and believe it was worth it as I am sure I'll feel so again when it has its plates on friday.
