WA Perth's Slightly South Cruise

deserts are good

 

Deserts suck.

Desserts are good. Mmm, ice cream.

 

There are actually plenty of desserts out in this desert. They're really good too!!

 

yeah

That was the best part of working away, The food was really good
Most of the time the people are'nt too bad either

 

I love my food.
Those places are traps,no such thing as self control.eat till your stuffed

 

What did we do wrong?

I brought along an old work mate to this cruise as he has an orange 350Z

So impressed was he with the Z community that.....he's just traded for an HSV

lol

 

lol, cant help bad taste!

 

Dunno mate...the more I observe the "bang for buck" (when talking about NEWish) cars that is) the more I think it's foolish to deny that Aussie Mussle is the way to go.

Sure back in the day it was true they couldn't go round corners but that's hardly true of the newer lines.

I'd be half tempted myself only the more I look at my plans for the 350, the more excited I get

 

dont get me wrong, the "aussie muscle" as you put it has its merits, but heres the truth of it..........they are based on a family car design first and foremost, so anything they do to improve the performance will always have been compromised first by that fact........
are they good cars? yes, in there own regard. are they sports cars? no, not in the way that a zed, or a supra, or a lamborghini is, because those cars were designed to be......wait for it.... a sports car(or super car lol), not a family car....thats my two cents anyway

 

This. Exactly this.

 

how many zed owners do you see trading in their cars for a reliable family car?
lots, so why not go to something that is primarily a family car with a little bit of sportiness thrown in.
cheapish,stylish,parts easier to come by and dare i say it ,classy if you pirchase the right model.
I vote for the commonwhore to be the acceptable default family car when your zed becomes too small for your family.:rofl:

 

sorry about the typo

 

if thats the way you think it should go, all power to you.....

anyway, this part of the thread is way of topic, if youd like to talk about the merits of zeds versus the commodores and falcons of the world, i think we should start a new thread.

 

so who was it taking wideo of the day, i know one of the guys came up and mentioned to me he had his video camera, cant remember who though.....

and ak, wheres your pics mate?

 

Bobby and Co had the Camera on most of the day

Looking forward to some footage of all those Zeds.

Ugame might come out of retirement and do some editing for us.........

 

if they "want" me to do editing i'd be happy to, but also happy to let others have a bash and put it out there.

I'm still editing Christmas 2008 for my family. True story lol. + editing lots at work now so....

 

Was thinking getting a 350Z always liked them till i took a couple for a test drive was disappointed no power so just kept the XR6T it's now running 500hp at the wheels and 900 nm torque still miss my 300Z twin turbo but money i spend on that car was unreal about $30,000 in the end way better bang for buck with the XR looking at my next project car TVR TUSCAN from the UK was over there in august you can pick up some real bargains aston martin for around 22,000 GBR only thing is cost $25,000 to comply it this is the site http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/

 

Late model 350Z or nothing imho power wise

TVR Tuscan hey? Nice! They've been on my radar also. IF i ever have the money to do a Gumball Rally, I think the TVR Tuscan would be my weapon of choice
