Hands Up all the Aussies

[Ballast Scorcher]

Oh yeah, and I'm based half and half in Kalgoorlie and port Hedland, so yeah, definitely WA based west aussie ? ?

Noice!

I really thought about changing from a manual to an auto after seeing they are quicker, but left it.

An Auto Proto could turn out to be a smart choice if rarity and collectability are anything to go on?

Please, do elaborate. Do you think it will be of greater value in the years to come being an auto? What gives you that opinion?

I don't want to come across as a whinger (too late ?) but would've been stoked for a manual. My z32 is a manual so maybe that will do ..

Righty, what sort of paperworks they want you to sign @Ballast Scorcher ?
just received updated contract with pricing and rego declaration from my guy. Is that the same for you?

Couldn't tell you yet mate, I just refreshed emails and still nothing. In his defence, he did say half an hour and it has only just hit 30mins since the call as of right now

What are you thinking mate? Blazing ahead with it? What was your order again?

Black on black manual @Ballast Scorcher

Refreshing my emails will do me a repetitive stress injury over here!

I can just imagine West Aussie on the old dog and bone giving Osborne Park a serve! Into 'em West Aussie! ?

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Going ahead @GeelongCats ? You have any thoughts on delivery timeframe? Even late July might be on the table..

I've read only 175 Protos in Aus and
Nissan said something to the tune that 60-70% of pre orders are manual

which works out to be 50 -70 automatic Protos Aus wide.

I'm sure quite a few Protos will be put in mothballs. There will be quite a few that will be modified, thrashed and even crashed. So if you keep a good one, it's gotta be worth something one day.

Try finding a good clean stock 350Z 35th Anniversary Edition

My dealer said there were 170 protos, but your point does remain.

Appreciate the more.. reasonable response of yours to my emotional "that's not what I ordered" mentality and certainly is food for thought. Thanks for the perspective my good man

@Ballast Scorcher yeah definitely going with it, signed and deal done . Now the real waiting game begins. Time frame late August but nothing confirmed by Nissan Yet.

Look at you go! Nicely done mate. Very nicely done.

True, the wait has now begun for you mate. But your ready. You've been forged in the fires of silence from Nissan for the best part of a year. So what if it's another month or two more. Tis but child's play at this point!

Your ready Cats. Born ready!

@Mud Valid point indeed, as Jason Camisa mentioned in carmudgon show, this car in wrong hands will either end up in license suspension or write off whichever comes first. If you keep it clean it will definitely worth some big money.

Should we do a welfare check on West Aussie? I don't want to seem like I'm fussing over her, but she's being very quiet .. ?

Too quiet ?

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

The wrong hands you say...might rule me out!

Oi, West Aussie, get out of the bath and put the hair dryer down! It's not worth it!
