We are talking about the Fairlady Z 432, Blue.  Suitable tribute to what, may I ask?  I think you just lost your secret handshake privileges.

 

Quite. He's quite clearly mixing his super lightweight PZRs up with his full fat PZs.

 

Probably wears a G-Shock 'cos it's "better".

Yeah, Blue, that description sounds like most any car from an F&F movie.

just having fun winding you all up

just having fun winding you all up

 

No need to wind a G-Shock...

 

You'd have to go some to wind me up any more than the sillier Facebook comments do. It's like the Flat Earth Society out there.

Ao it's pints all around, eh, Blue?   

I'll pass around a bottle of Jameson and we'll listen to The Pogues!

They looked inside:

I never wear a watch, I don't care for Matisse or tennis and diamonds really are just rocks buddy.

I leave them for the rich and gullible along with over priced collector cars.

 

Next from you: " Aren't the Emperor's clothes just faaabulous!"

You could ask the same thing about anything. Why would you want a vintage Patek Philippe when a G-Shock keeps better time? Why would you want a painting by Matisse hanging on your wall when that poster of the tennis girl pulling her panties out of her crack is so much cheaper?

 

Next from you: "Diamonds? They're just rocks, man...!"

 

...........and diamonds really are just rocks buddy.

 

No $^!#, Sherlock.

 

 

The mistake you are making is to comment on the 432 as though it has become something else overnight, simply because somebody paid a high price for one and it popped up on your radar screen.

 

Newsflash: The 432 - along with several other Japanese market S30-series Z models - has always changed hands for higher prices than your equivalent year HLS30-U. Nothing has changed except your perception of what they are 'worth' in comparison with the 'price' that somebody just paid. 

 

As I said before, welcome to November 1969. There's a whole family of models that has just been launched, and guess which one is the most expensive? Guess which one is the most sporting package, the most complete sporting driver's car? Here's a clue: It's not the dumbed down, softened up and de-contented HLS30-U. 

 

If you're looking for Emperor's New Clothes, why not comment on the 3+ million Dollar Ferraris and the like that were in the same auction?

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                          Moonpup probably doesn't like this.

And yet which one has gone down in history as the most influential & important "family member".......

 ^^ THE Z, But the 510 is  the one to watch , see current price tags, lately they are gaining  more $  than our Z. IMO the 2 door 510 will be worth more that an S30 , not many around in comparison .

Depends who's writing the 'history', doesn't it?

 

If it's a single-source, non peer-group critiqued specialist website, then probably the one the author thought was the only one until relatively recently...
