You will have to wait for pics.

 

The Z32 is a good cruise car. But nothing like the sitting position of an old school ZED, you don't quite feel as one with the car in the Z32 as you do with the old school.

 

The only decent shape ZEDS to my liking are the 240z, 260z, Z32 an maybe the 350Z all the rest have to many square lines.

 

I only wish they made the 350Z specified like the new Skyline R35?. FFS the ZED CAR is the original sports coupe. The Skyline is a Family Sedan with many merits I might add, but not for me!

 

The 350Z would have looked a lot better with the shape based on the original 240Z like in some of the Concept versions. Instead of basing it on the YANK TANK Z32.

The Entrails are good. I have installed 170mm Spot lights and foglights standard on my X-Trail (I can see 750m up the road), side steps, nudge bar, STRUT BAR which is the best thing I have got for it so far MAKES IT HANDLE BEAUTIFULLY ON THE TARGA TASMANIA STAGE I DRIVE TO WORK ON. HUGE DIFERENCE.

 

Mrs just has a nudge bar on hers I have to buy her some driving lights. But the ZEDS come first lol.

You might have to dust off one of those Zeds for our next trip down to Tassie.

If it was the Tasmanian Targa cruise. I read the article awsome video on that one. 2010 is the next one right?

 

I could be your local guide lol

That is correct, maybe we missed some of the best roads, would be good even just to have another car come along.  Didnt have anything to do with the Tassie Targa though, we went through not long before it, but really just coincidence.
