Default 350Z spotted in Barrie, Ontario

Saw it on 400 just south of Barrie in the southbound lanes. Car was the light silver similar to the showcar. Looked good, but only got a glimpse of it. Don't know whether it was a preproduction unit or not.

Just wanted to give a heads up!

Don't know where Barrie is but we are in Niagara Falls, Ontario at the moment. We drove up on Sunday and we'll be here until Tuesday night. I have with me as always my trusty digital camera and my laptop. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any Canadian Z's Below are some pics:

Hey, Doc! Have a blast in Niagara Falls (the Canadian side). I've been there many times as I used to live in Toronto and drive to Buffalo -- the falls is right on the way. Make sure you check out all the tacky tourist traps in downtown Niagara Falls -- good for a laugh!

(I sent you a question in a PM, but now I see you're on vacation so enjoy the falls and and I won't expect a response for a while -- (if you want to respond, that is) )

BTW, Barrie is just north of Toronto.

Oh no! Dr Bonz, it looks like Nissan was trying to make a special delivery of your Brickyard but they took a wrong turn!!

We did all the tourist stuff. We went up in the Skylon tower, did Maid of the Mist, Ripley's, Guinness, all the "4-D" rides, ate at Hard Rock for lunch and soon we are off to Rainforrest Cafe for dinner. I never did get your PM z350z. You may want to send it again.

I saw a gold 350z today on Front Street in Toronto. It was being driven by a woman. I followed the car along Front Street east onto Bayview Ave North for about 15 minutes. She noticed me following and she changed lanes several times. The car looked sweet. I then used my cell to call my dealer to find out my VIN and delivery date - - - - but no informtion. I told the dealer that I was following a Z as I was talking on the phone. She said that it must have been a Nissan employee. Still waiting for my Z, ordered in January 02.

Doh! I sent it again -- hope you get it this time. I'm happy to see you've done all that fun Niagara Falls stuff. I assume you got nice and soaked from standing near the edge (not to mention the Maid of the Mist).

Uh-oh, this is off topic. Uh, let us know if you see any 350Z's in Niagara Falls. (The town, not the waterfall!)
