Hek,

The Forum will stick around as long as the cars are still driven. One of the three cars I sold several years ago which allowed me to buy my 370Z was a 1990 300ZX, a car I owned for 27 years (still only had 81 000 km (50 000 miles) when it left).

Like you, I'm an old retired guy, and I'd been following the TwinTurbo.net Forum forever, for exactly the same reasons you have expressed. And I'd still follow it today if I had kept the car, and there are a lot of that generation still on the road, and will be for years. The good sports cars never die ... nor the interest in them.

Well HEK, I guess this thread answered your question for you. You only posted a few days ago and it’s already at page 3. Like others has said we all have a true classic sports car that will be around for a long, long time yet. Just look at the following the older Zeds still enjoy.

One of things I love the most is the history/heritage you get with Zed ownership. Sure the forum content may change some but interest will always be there for us lot and the many others that will join in when they buy used.

For me I’ve loved the Zed ever since my soccer coach bought a nice second hand 260z in the 70’s (I am now 50) when I was about 10. He gave me a lift to a game one Sat morning and I knew then this car was special and that I was going to buy one someday. Bought a Silver 260z about 10 years later, gave it a full resto. Had it for about 15 years and stupidly sold when kids came along. It was a 2+2 but still not ideal. I should dig a photo or 2 and post. Maybe that could be a new thread, why we bought a Zed in the first place and photos of members previously owned Zeds.

Anyway, enough of the trip down memory lane, long live the might Zed! (and the forum)
Cheers

The Z is special, at least to me.

Also had an 260z with triple Webers, mid range cam, headers etc... That was one fun Z to drive. Then an 280zx and now 370z. The exterior designs have changed over the years. I am glad that Nissan kept those 3 smaller gauges on the top centers.
