Default First Roadster

Bought an 04 Silverstone Touring Roadster a couple of days ago. I've already got a 1981 280ZXT and a 1977 280Z, so I guess I only need three more gens.

You'll have to excuse the pics, it was raining when I brought it home and its been cold and snowy ever since. (Currently ten degrees outside)

If you look at the tree line in the very back of the first picture, thats Brown County. They repaved several roads in the fall that I cant wait to try this spring!

I must admit, I do have Z fever pretty bad. The 77 is my current project that I picked up a couple of months ago, but I'm just getting around to working on. The 81 is a two owner car that just turned 70k original miles. Still have the original floor mats for it. I only drive it on nice sunny summer days. I've been wanting a 350Z roadster for a couple of years and when the deal came along on this one, I just couldn't pass it up. Now I just can't wait to put the top down!

Wow, that 81 must have been really well looked after to still have the original mats. Happy Z'ing. It only gets worse hanging out with other Zeddites.

The previous owner was very particular about the car. He used generic brown mats most of the time when driving it. I didn't like them so I bought a set from Motorsport for most driving. This pic is from when I bought it last year and with the original mats in the car.

Congratulations I love my roadster! You will be very happy with yours. Nothing better than top down listening to the exhaust and engine, with some occassional tire squeal lol.

Nice roadster! I also have a roadster and I love it, the weather here lately has not been condusive to top down motoring but ah well.

Have you thought about collector coverage on your other rides?
