Default Cossie now insured and MOT'd :)

I bought my 3dr back in oct and she has sat in the garage looking pretty since then. She might have had a couple of runs round the village but that would be telling.

Anyways i insured her on thu and took her for an MOT yesterday and she passed.

It's been 7 years since i drove the car properly and yesterday reminded me how cool it is The attention it gets is mental and i reckon EVERYONE loves a 3dr

On the way home a 350z thought it was quite quick until i dropped a gear. Jesus this car is fast i know the 350 isnt exactly a 400bhp cossie but i thought it's be quite quick? what hp are they?

chop

Nice one Steve, I really must get mine out one of these days, it'll be taking root soon. But yes, I know what you mean, the attention they get is fab. You can be a star in every petrol station.

Problem with the 350Z is it weighs 300 kilos more than your 3-door! ( or the weight of 4 blokes! )

The later ones had 296bhp though and the last of the line had 309bhp

i was sparking a fag up and looking elsewhere when i spooned the kerb was prob the only fag i ever smoked in the car - was having a REAL bad day :s fire away though - youve had long enough to sort that too so if its fcked still your a same goes for the tacho ROFLOL

i just wasnt into cosmetics LOL

seriously do get some pics up sleeve, i do miss the ornament bless it the evo is awesome but its not had (and wont get) the heartache blood sweat and tears that the razz got over the years, nothing can ever replace that car
