Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say hello, and to explain ‘back after 30 years’,I test drove a 240 yesterday and the last time I drove a Z was a 260 2+2 I owned in 1987.
Ever since then I have had a need to get back into a Z, I loved my old one and only owned it for about 9 months and had to get rid of it due to my daughter being born and despite my protestations that it would be ok to have a child seat in the back I wasn’t allowed to keep it.
I have always kept an eye on the Z scene, I may have been on here before, I have followed Z groups on Facebook and have dreamed about getting one. Well, now I have retired I have the time and money to pursue my dream. The one I test drove yesterday reaffirmed what I thought but as a return to a Z it probably needed just to much work for my skills at this time.
So at the moment I am looking, and searching, probably like everyone else I would like a RHD, but I’m open to LHD like the one I drove yesterday. Part of me would like one that doesn’t need too much doing and I make improvements to over time. Part of me says I’d like to take on a project but that may be a bit too brave, I’ll see where my search takes me.
I’d like something I can use from March to Oct. I want to be able to drive it regularly and experience it, if I have a car and only take it to 5 or 6 shows a year I think I will struggle justifying having it. I am based in Somerset and am keen to learn and find out as much as I can, it was 30 years ago and my memory and knowledge of the car isn’t what it was, but I absolutely love everything about them.
Look forward to chatting with you all
Dave
