Step 1: Buy a little girly car, say a Swift in my case. For more affect buy a Nissan Micra.

 

Step 2: Safely stow tampons in glove box.

 

Step 3: Drive said car for 1 month because it's hot outside and you don't want your freshly permed hair to be ruined.

 

Step 4: Start your Datsun and allow to warm up for 3-5 minutes

 

Step 5: Punch it down the road and try not to smile as you'll smudge your lipstick ;)

.... For more affect buy a Mazda MX5.

 

That's cheating!

 

I've been driving my mirage, even on the track!, for the past 6 months. Everyday I miss my Z more and more :(

Try not driving your Z for 3+ years :(. I miss mine. My step dad took it out of the garage to start it up before Christmas and sent me the video of it at idle. Man I miss the sound, even he admits he loves the noise it makes when he starts it and he used to get upset and run out in his pj's when I would start it early Sunday morning to tell me off haha.

 

I had to have a sports car so I got an FD RX-7 which is an amazing car, and the only modern car that compares to the 240z in my opinion but there's something about the 240z that's so much more special. I guess I really am a sucker for classic cars.

 

What's weird is because the RX-7 is so original and complete that I almost feel at a loss as to what to do with it. With the Z there is a million little bits and pieces I want to collect to make it original again. I think that's half the run you know. Fixing it up and hunting down all the bits and pieces. The RX-7 turns heads, but not like the 240z would, especially over here in Ireland.

 

When you drive a little girly car, you just become part of the masses, boring! :). However on the positive side, you don't worry about where you park it and you don't notice every little scratch, dent or paint imperfection. Sometimes it's nice to just not give a toss about a car ;).

I almost bought an Mazda MX5 but in many cases the RX-7's on the market were cheaper! WTF is with that? I still think the MX-5 is a cool car and was thinking of getting the girlfriend 1 so I could still drive it around and she could learn manual. I see them all the time and think they must be fun especially in summer. Just under powered.

 

I honestly think half the reason people sell their Z's off is that they have been off the road for so long that people forget how much fun they are. I think when you own a car like a Z, you need to do it justice and get it out on the road and just enjoy it. Even if it's raining, people enjoy seeing a classic out and about.

is - during the time my zed has been off the road I just purchase another zed :D should have kept them all really but I sell them as I need the $$ for long term project. Getting cold feet again - it has been 2-3 years again.......the issue get my car going, it is so close, or purchase another. I want to do both....can't afford either currently :(

Nothing wrong with a 5!!! And they can impress the ladies :)

 

It also helps when you have a car for every mood.....

Try owning a Zed that you have never driven, dropping a mint on rebuilding it to the point where it needs a battery and fuel to start, and having your Wife tell you that you are being monitored closely and that any further dollars spend on "that bloody Datsun" will very likely lead to partial dismembrement!

 

Now That's frustration !

ACF321 you have to grow some balls and start telling your Miss's how it's going to be. I did that after years of whinging and nagging. Now she says nothing. Lay it on the line right back at them. Ha Ha  ;)  No use getting that close and not finishing the project. Oh and you have to tell them that is not the last cent you will spend on it. Remind them it's an on going process that will never finish. Once they get their heads around that it's happy days for your Zed.    ;D

Yep....

 

If I had a GF or wife tell me I couldn't spend any or more money on my hobbies, the next breath would be me telling her to walk out the door and never come back. A true GF or wife wouldn't tell you not to enjoy your hobbies. ;)

Which one goes harder though Pete?

 

Yea but spend that sort of money that Pete has on his car for Wifey. Breast Implants, Lipo, Dental and such, would you spend hours looking at her after she was finished? I enjoy looking at a Zed if it was a junkyard westie or a high end roller.
