I was in a servo once and this young kid (5-7yr old) had been looking at my car. As I was leaving the register the mum and kid walked up and he asked "what sort of car is that?" I replied "its a 300zx mate" and suddenly the mum whacks across the back of the head "TOLD YA!". i cracked up as I walked out then yelled back "looks like sometimes mum's are right". She was a bit milfish too! mmmm
I was driving thru an upmarket boutique area of the city, driving thru a car park to get back onto the streets and a little kid holding hands with his dad while walking next to the traffic pointed to my zed and said "look dad! thats the car i want when i'm older" i heard it cos my window was down, dunno if targas were off but it made my day and i couldn't stop smiling after that hehe he was like 5 yrs old
at the servo filling er up when my fuel tank pressure thingy was broken, so it filled up reeeeeallll slow. i go in to pay and the guy goes: "is something wrong with the pump?" "nah, its my car" "nah thats a ncie car.....ill go check the pump" mum when i rocked up with it for the first time: "woah no way im glad you bought something nice nice colour nice wheels mmm clean inside, good choice." a month later her opinion: "i hate your frikkin stupid sh*t car youre spending all your money on it yo ushould have goten something nice what a waste of money you need to get your priorities right!"
i had this one from a bloke i used to work with... was working at a school 12 months ago as the systems admin, i had some of the staff (25 odd) over one night for a bbq so during few drinks a mate asks. mate "hows the work on the car coming a long?" me "not bad, just put the side mounts intercoolers in the other day" at this point newbie staff member of 2 weeks jumps in, newbie "hey you guys into cars too?" me "yeh, to a degree" newbie "cool, i had a turbo skyline before transfering up here" me "*looking rather un interested * nice...." newbie "so is yours a turbo too?" me "how bout i just show you the car" newbie "yeh, cool" so i take him in to the shed. newbie "wohaa, thats one of those knight rider cars isnt it?" me "what tha? , no thats a nissan 300zx twin turbo":bash: :bash: newbie "really gee's it sure looks like one" me "NO, it doesnt, knight rider is a trans am, thats american. This is jap, there is no relationship or comparision between a trans am and nissan" i shut the shed up and went back to being social with other people.... as you could imagine didnt realy talk too much with the wan&er after that.. :banned: shows you how dumb graduate teachers can be....:biggrin:
Yeah, they can be! As a teacher myself, some of the best comments come from my kids. Often ask me what day I'll be driving it in so they can look at it. One of my naughty kids promised to work hard all day if I let him listen to the sound of the engine when I left in the afternoon. It worked! Best one was when I first got the car in 2005. One of my students (grade 6) went home and told his older brother who rebuilds Holden engines that his teacher had just imported a twin turbo 300ZX and was driving it to school. His brother bet him $20 that he was wrong. Met them the next day in the carpark - he lost the bet! Good guy though, because he really admired the Z! :zlove:
I think that one day we should all go for a little drive to go and see Mr G with all our Z's at lunch time. Hehehehe
hahahaha would need to take fate incase one of the "lovely" little kids decides hands on is a good idea
one of my mates told me that his co-worker was ready to race my black ferrari! and i get asked alot "is it turbo?" and when i tell them its twin they just drop jaw like no tomorrow! then again, u wouldn't expect people to know that some cars even come out as a twin turbo living in a bogan town!!!!!!
Frist time getting pulled over by a cop: Cop: "How did you buy this car?.....drugs?" Me: wait!?....what!? Cop: "Its drugs isnt it son, please step out the car" Arriving at a job in Ascot vale, saw a bogan eyeing my car, so i stayed with the car just incase he was looking 2 break in, until he came up to me. Bogan: what do you do for a living? Me: Resin Floorer Bogan: must be paying you well to go out and buy a ferrari at your age Me: Its a 300zx. Bogan: oh! is that the new 300zx Me: no, its over 16 years old Bogan: Jeez! those japs must have some kind of time machine! Me: errr....What? Bogan: dont spose u mind if i jump in the front seat real quick Me: yes, very much so. At that point cops drive past, the bogan yells out 'LETS GO!" to his wife/gf (i forgot wat he called her) and this dirty blonde woman comes running out with so much fake tan that she was more or a "mango suprise" color than brown, into his XD ford made up from at least 6 different XD's and speeds off. Driving out the car park oppsite Crown Casino after a big night at Famous night club, two girls, i would rate them mid 8 to lazy 9ish, lol Girl 1: "thats cars hot" Girl 2 "so is the driver" (both wave) Me: Ego though the roof! lol tryed 2 speed away but straight away on the breaks hard coz of traffic
yeah....screw that.....as if someone would let a random bogan into your car...wtf ahahah im sorry...that was hilarious....
After having my car searched for 40 min by 2 cops at 2am in the morning while down south visiting my cousin the cop turns around and says I haven't seen one of these in years in fact the last time i seen one i was in it doing 250kph down the freeway. Me: yeah well this one does........110 My cousin: You cops need a good kick up the ass Cops: you boys have a good night
I only got my licence last Friday but in that time I've had heaps of people from school and comment. Driving out of school with my windows down on Friday i heard some girls go "Hey!!, Aaron's got a Porche!!!" lol A friend of mine calls it the "Wog Mobile" to which I said "It's Japanese you drongo!!", his reply was "Oh, so it's a rice burner then!" I gave up after that. It's also commonly known among the girls as the "Bat Mobile" cause of the look of the spoiler on the back. Had another friends mum (whose a teacher at the school) go "Aaron's cars really nice isn't it, bet it goes good too". How right she is heheh. I was originally going to by a TF Magna but then the 300zx came along and I knew nothing about it but I knew it had good performance and it was pretty cheap too. So glad I bought the Zed. Cheers, Aaron
Called into MrZee (Michael's) place when he lived in Greenacre and Michael's son and his girlfriend were in the driveway. She's straight onto the mobile "Oh muh God, I'm lookin' at dis fully sik car. Yoos should see it man, it's fully sik!" I had to smile. LOL: Cheers, Peter
I always the common "spin it up!!" chants and gestures... im now onto my third set of rear tyres in 8 months... and i think almost my second new clutch... Also, the people who go out fo their way to run infont of me on the road and stop me just to tell me how nice it is The best ive had however was from a young kid of around 5, who was standing at the top of his driveway holding his mums hand. He saw me, stanted jumping up and down yanking his mums hand, pointing at my car with his mouth wide open in awe... What a moment :zlove:
i was at a party in my home town just after i got the z sitting at a table and this chick asks "so ben when did u buy a supra?" or again in the country side of the hunter valley pulled over i step out of the car officer "geez i dunno bout ur zorst mate its huge i could fit a pineapple up there me "oh yea sorry sir but this is an import that i just picked up from the dealer (which i had) and as far as i know thats how they are officer "ok u better go to the rta and check it out the laws then have a good night" i think the pouring down rain might have stopped him from going any further get alot of how hards she go mate\ i bet its fast from the bogans
all you need to do is paint your zed black and dump it on 19s and like everyone thinks its the coolest thing ever.. which it is I've heard too many things about my car to write here, i'll be releasing a book shortly
I was stopped at some traffic lights when some kids walked across and said "Look at that nice civic" I was about 2 seconds from dropping the clutch and running them down.
