My new baby another 2003 Z06 this one is Electron Blue (no shit Sherlock).
Collected it from Liverpool this morning. Pics are from the USA a few weeks back as I flew out to Dallas to collect the car and then drove it up to Baltimore to await shipping.








Note to self: I must not modify this one..........


.....and before you ask I still have the Twin Turbo Z06 too, this one is my everyday driver.

Just call me "2 Zo6's" hehe

Hi Nige, congrats on a very nice looking purchase. That colour on the Z looks really special. I guess that I will have to go out and buy a green one now to match the colour of my face for your 2, lol. If we dont see you at the Fairmile on the 3rd tuesday, I hope that you and Jan have a real good xmas.

Now, how can I find a way of releiving you of the front bumper and OSF wing without you noticing ?

Won't be at The Fairmile currently I am rarely at home let alone having time to go out.
Tis the season to be working, fah, lah, lah etc. Hope you and yours have a good Xmas too.

[spelling Nazi mode]'I' before 'E' except after 'C'[/spelling Nazi mode] hehe

There is a very good paint shop I can recommend in Camberley called St. George's Coachworks (Mary's John works there). They should be able to fix your one for less than the cost of you having to get your teeth fixed if you nick my bits.

The C6 Z06 is the devil's work.......(also they are £60k) I paid about £20k for mine including shipping, tax etc. and I find the C6 looks "challenging"......although I would be prepared to learn to squint for the 2008 Z06 SS.

Sounds like a bargain! You could always have grafted a C5 nose onto a C6 with a bit of effort though!

That'll teach me to rush type things at work. How about the new handle of Zee Zee Dob ?

Still can't be bothered to get it fixed ! Maybe the icy roads this winter will help me on my way ? Suppose I ought to get a quote some time though.

Congrats Nigel.

I had in my mind you would pop up with a Yellow C6 ZO6, but the C5 is awesome, wish I could have both.

Enjoy it. yes

Won't it feel a bit tame compared to your TT monster?

Anyway I suggest a forum name change to ZZ12!

It is a lot more sane than the Z06 TT but as an everyday car it is still a very fast license loser.........or a motorway cruiser depending or traffic. It is much nicer to drive day to day than my Evo 7, which was banzai nutter faster on the twisty stuff but a p.i.t.a. on the motorway.
