Over the past week I've been negotiating with a new forum member from Interstate who wanted a nice, red, Australian NA 2+2 (OK, pedants, I know that last bit's redundant). Anyway, to cut a long story short - the new owner might like to tell it - I've sold my car - and to someone I was really pleased to sell it to! As I said, I now consider myself "between Zeds". My next Zed, when I buy it, will be something I can park outside, or indeed use anywhere I'd use a lesser car (that's almost anything else!) - ie I won't be so 'precious' about this one! Currently I've moved to the "dark side" for a while with a cheap Soarer that I've bought, but one day I will be back into a Zed. It will be white or another non-metalflake colour (but not red), definitely slicktop, and definitely not a 350z or anything with turbochargers. I suppose that means it could be a 240z, 260z, 280z or z32. I suppose I'll just wait and see what comes up. I'm certainly in no hurry as I'm enjoying the Soarer. OK, so it's a 'boat', but they can be made to handle acceptably at remarkably low cost, and even if it's a boat, it's a damn luxurious one! I'll still hang around this forum and keep in touch with all my on-line friends here. It's the best, most interesting car forum I've seen - Certainly it beats the Soarer ones hands down! Once a zed owner - always a zed enthusiast!
good luck good luck with finding a new zed. but can a zed really be lesser car. even if it is a bit cheaper you can't love a zed any less (even when you earn just about nothing and can barely afford it).
I probably didn't express that very well.... What I meant was that I would do almost anything, park almost anywhere with almost any car except my last Zed, which being in really good nick, I was very careful in how I used it, and where I parked it. If and when I buy another, I will treat it (almost) like any other car - but as you say a Zed's a Zed and that will be hard!!
both sad and good news tassie, all in one bundle ..... just do not leave us ... your zed knowledge and experience has been a great value to the forum on many fronts .. stuff we cannot afford to lose ... as is your great historical knowledge of things zed .... thank you ..stay with us ..! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::zlove::zlove::zlove:
