Having been hovering away from Z's and playing with moderns for the past three years, I am now very keen to buy something really good.
Have a look in my gallery and you'll see that I've owned a good 2.8 from Geoff Gale, an exceptional 260Z from Z farm and the Wyn ZVR (Did that ever surface again in Z circles? - my god I regret selling that).
Anyway time moves on and I am now keen to have a first class Z. My route to ownership really falls into two camps:
1 - Buy it
2 - Build it
Now I know that getting something built (Are Fourways still the best?) is the more expensive route but you ultimately get what you want. On the flipside, if there's a really nice car out there that someone would like to sell then do get in touch.
Ultimately I would really love something like the old ZVR, a wolf in sheeps clothing but I think that finding someone to build me a car with a V8 or an RB Twin Turbo engine is fairly unlikely?
Obviously there is always the option of going down the highly tuned straight six route but I'm keen on something with alot of power.
Car that inspire my thoughts are:
The ZVR
The Supercharged LS engined US car (We've all watched the video)
The Nissan V8 engined car in blue red and white
The stunning Gunmetal with silver stripes US car
Any RB Twin Turbo car
Anyway, any tips, help, advice or contacs would be really appreciated.
Thank you, Tom
