Default After 4 years waiting and drooling, finally got my car! Pics on the Great Ocean Road

I've lusted over the 350z since I saw it for the first time at the Chicago motorshow 4 years ago.

Now, after a move to Sydney, I've finally gotten one! And the car has exceeded my expectations in everyway.

I had to pick the car up in Melbourne so while I was at it, decided to take the car for a drive on the Great Ocean Road. The day after I drove it back 800+ kms to Sydney. After spending so much time with the car, I now know the car inside out - and what an awesome car it! Money well spent! And now I can't stop grinning ear to ear!

Enjoy the pics!

She had about 37000 kms on her. It's a 2003 Track model with burnt orange leather. I was looking around for the perfect car for a few months before I found her in Melbourne...

Great Ocean Road must've been an awesome drive in a Z. Twisty and scenic.

You've convinced me to take my '07 Redline for a ride through the Great Ocean Road this weekend. I look at those pics and I just wanna walk up to your Z and fling it through some of those beautifully cambered corners, although they are dangerously wedged against cliffs...hate to run wide!

You should! Although I had a 800+ km drive to Sydney the following day, I couldn't pass the opp to drive on those twisties and to see the 12 apostles... must have been the best fun I've ever had on four wheels... while driving that is

Not too many kms for an 03. Well done. Oh, and don't forget to change your location to Aussie, lol.

Congrats! I waited a very long time for my Z as well after being smitten by the car; it is indeed quite the reward.

Congrats!
I'm not sure if that narrow twistie road with cliffs on one side and drop-off, drop dead views on the other is where I would choose to learn to drive on the left side of the road.
