Thank you for all your replies.
It has given me a very deep insight into the adventure I have ahead. For some it seems; it has taken longer to find the perfect zed for them than I have held my licenses. The learning curve will be very steep and very sharp but I believe I am ready.
The three things that seem to be most important:
1. Money
2. Time/Luck
3. Commitment
It also seems to be the case of find the best you can not the best your money can buy. Unless you are a panel beater or a mechanic by trade, a lot of rust is never a good idea. Research and work on resources; don't rush and jump at the first one because you believe its for you.
From the looks of things most of you guys have tried a few of the other datsuns/nissans before you jumped into the zed or played around with a few zed before jumping into the right one. Would you have done so differently if you could go back? Like wait for the right one to come up and buy it rather than going through a few shells before getting to the right one?
Thank you for your time in reading and replying to this and all the replies so far.
