My experiences at servos usually go something like this... Them: Is that a 300sx Me: ZX *ffs* Them: What's the colour name of your car? Me: I don't know, it came like that from Japan. Them: Shit, who keyed your car? Me: I don't know, it came like that from Japan. *sigh* Them: Is it turbo? Me: Twin Them: geeeezz, how much did it cost? Me: about 6k landed (due to the paint damage) Them: BULLSHIT Me: plus compliancing Pretty much get those same questions every 1 in 5 times I'm at the servo. I'm thinking about printing a FAQ for them I can hand out next time ;-) The funniest is the stares you get from P-Platers in vl Commodores etc Cheers, Dave.
some funny stories i was picking up my car from the clutch shop and i rocked up in a bmw there was this man mid 30's in a brand new porche 911 carrera with a street directory (he was lost) asked me if i new how to get to a particular street i said i dunno ask the mechanics they might know i walked into the shop went to pay the man for the work he did on my car, then we all walked outside to see this man admiring/drooling/amazed over my red zed bending over looking around etc i sat in the car he goes what you doing (thinking his funny) your dreaming this was your car,i tured and i said what you talking about this is my car his eyes popped out and said you just came in a bmw i said thats my brothers car he said richhhhhhhhhhh family i said what you talking about mate look what your driving he goes what car is yours a said nissan 300zx he goes ive seen them on the road always looked like a ferrari i never new it was a nissan....im thinking just another dumb rich bloke lol
random z stories when i blew a heater hose and was waiting 4 a tow truck a older guy around 45-50 starts talking 2 me about how the zed look like porshes and how much of a shame it was that they have stopped producing them. another time at a tint place, spend about half a hour talking 2 a random guy about where u can drive the zed 2 full potential, this dude happened 2 have a worked 180 with the exact same veilside wheels as i did. while i was talking 2 this dude 2 real young chicks came in , around 15 they were waiting for there car. one of them in a mini skirt proceeds 2 go over 2 her cars open bonnet and bend over looking in the engine bay 2 "find out the colour of her car" she got the installer 2 come over and try and help her FIND THE COLOUR... jeez those chicks were dodgy... never the less, everywhere i drive im always getting ppl staring hey thats life....
ahh thats the joys of owning a zed.. although i must admit my head gets bigger then its normally large size when people look at the z
I got asked to move my ferarri from the disabled parking spot at bunnings one day ROFLMAO. Personally I don't see the resemblance *sniggers* But best of all, I was getting some take-away one night, and a car with NSW plates pulled up along side, one of the young girls (well... late teens - early twenties) jumped out looked all round the car, and then a g/friend started taking photos of here draped on the car, damn, never got a copy of the photos either.
Baron, it's Mr G I drive a black TT 2+2, with plates 'NZX89'. I usually drive around Progress Road and Inala Avenue - also occasionally near school's I'm visiting for work (Forest Lake and Grand Av). Might have seen you around? What colour is yours?
Some stories... Ages ago, on a cruise, we stopped at a servo in the northern suburbs, two chicks in an excel pull up; driver gets out and asks who owns the zed, proudly say its me, she then walks around having a good look and then tells me her friend in the passenger seat has one - hot blonde, all my mates with wrx's, silvias, skylines etc are all giving me daggers now, i felt like the big man! haha ...anyways blonde gets out and it turns out its Leah, plates ZXTREME .... she told me about a 300zx cruise the following weekend and told me about the aus300zx.com forum! Another story, Risk in his zed, my mate in his HSV GTS, and myself are parked in Fremantle by the docks, 4 kids between 10-13 years old come up and start looking at the three cars, we're all standing by mine having a chat, they start taking more interest in the zeds, cos after all the GTS is just a Commodore, one then says while standing by Risks window "woah, this one goes to 180", another kid runs over to my car and yells out "this one goes to 320!" ....the three of us start to giggle; anyways attention of the 4 kids then turns all to my car, theyre looking at every single square inch of it all because it has the speedo that says 320! haha ....meanwhile Andrews zed is by faaaaaaaaaaaar nicer than mine and it didnt even get a look in! Classic stuff!
