Thanks to all for the replies The car is hard to fault!

The upgrade from the 3.2 to the 3.4 is slight but noticable!
I'm finding it hard to decide which to listen to most....the amazing BOSE stereo, or the incredible sound of the sports exhaust

Thanks for the reply! Very sweet car indeed! With cars like these, who needs a wife :-)

Have you considered a Clear Bra to protect her?

Gorgeous car, FIG.
I like the black grille idea, above.
I'm doing black Cayman grilles for mine.

FIG,

Beautiful car ! I've always wondered, when the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, is the shift pattern the same as cars with the steering wheel on the left ( for example, in a six speed, do the gears go 1, 3, 5 from left to right ) ?

Nick

That is truly an awesome vehicle! Enjoy it! Black was my definitely my next choice & will be a strong contender for the next Pcar I purchase.

NickCats - I have only seen the overhead of a 350Z in RHD but yes, it's the same layout (1,3,5), so they shift higher as they move the lever toward them, rather than away like we do. It looks absolutely freaky - so glad I don't have to drive an RHD vehicle!
