Got it - haha!
 

Finally my 20 year long dream has come true (ever since I saw the new 300ZX in '89 I had to have a new Z car). I picked up my brand spanking new Z car on Sunday. I have to admit I was pretty nervous picking it up sinced my 280ZX was stolen eight years ago and I haven't driven stick since then. I told my wife I'd need to drive around the back streets a while but I hadn't even gone around the block and through the parking lot before I told her all was well and we were headed back home with my new baby (this is probably the only time its OK to have a new baby that's blue... )

Anyhow its 6MT Prussian Blue with Sports and no Nav - exactly the car I wanted (other than the frost interior - that's another story though). I am totaly thrilled with the car. Work is torture - I long to get back into the car and drive aimlessly about. Hehe - my three kids were at my parents house last night and I ended up driving them home one at a time instead of picking them all up in the Jeep. Any excuse will do to go out and drive.

gratz dude!

Congrats! I know you will enjoy the car...I do and ours are nearly identical.

Congratulations! If you need anything just ask:tup:

I like the username btw

congratz! i wish i could enjoy the z right now D:

Congrats man. Sounds like you are really enjoying your new Z. I'm islander as well, Nanaimo. I placed an order for a carbon silver 7AT with sport package about a week ago, very hard to get so might be waiting a while. Maybe you could drive up here and we could put some K on it ;). Just kidding. Did you see the black 6MT they had? I test drove that one and put my order in when I was done. I can hardly wait.

i like that, pick one kid up at a time.....lol......thats too funny

I absolutely love the car. Its a harsh ride and there is a fair amount of wheel noise - the stuff the critics complain about I think are great. I'd rather listen to the exhast than the stereo... which will hopefully be my first upgrade

I did see the black one - the right package but the wrong color so I started calling around and found the only Sports package in Western Canada (the black on in Victoria sold) and the exact color I wanted. I had zero intrest in dealing with Victoria Nissan. I felt like they couldn't be bothered to sell me a car so I wasn't intrested in giving them my money. Newcastle on the other hand was great but the guy I was dealing with didn't work there when I was going to put my custom order in so I tracked down the car I wanted and picked it up in Vancouver.

So I picked the car up on Sunday and drove downtown to show a friend and I saw the black 370Z which as far as I know is the only one sold here in Victoria. I drove around and saw the car parked so I talked to the guy who bought it last week. Funny to run into the only other car in town 20 minutes after I got back.

Hey if I've got the time I don't mind doing a run up to Nanaimo if you want to check the car out. I'll see if I can squeeze a few hours out of one of the weekends. Just built another house so I've still got a pile of work to do (fence, shed, landscaping, irrigation) and a little work at the old house before the renters move in.

Congrats. Hey, you know what they say about black - once you go...........
I lived in Colwood 20 years ago on Drummond Way. Wish I still owned that piece of real estate!!! Great weather and roads for touring on the island. Enjoy.

Thats very nice of you to offer to come up, put a smile on my wife's face. My mom lives in Victoria, so we come down once in a while. Next time we are down I could drop by to have a look. We would really like to see the Z in blue, looks very nice in the pics. PM me your number and I could give you a call next time we are down.
