rturbo 930 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 A friend was showing me some classifieds, and this was one of them. I've never seen it before, so I was wondering if the owner was a member here.

slownrusty Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yup that's Dot's car, shame to see he is selling it...the price is very very fair considering how much time and money has gone into it....I remember seeing this car completed back in the late '90s.

datsun40146 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah I was confused for a bit, I was like theres 2 v12 Zs? But then I figured out that he must have repainted it. Yeah the silver was better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dot Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 nope. I sold the car in Sept 07 yup. Looked better in silver I have been getting a few emails on the sale and I no longer own it. I sold most of the life support system for it too...The machine shop. The web site should come down but there is mixed emotions on that. A lot of my life went into that car. I am now eyeing my Aston Martin with bad intent. heh heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Curious? Now that it is gone was it worth it? If you had to do it again would you have? You said the machine shop was the life support, was there ongoing issues with the build or was it fairly bullet proof once compleed? nope. I sold the car in Sept 07 yup.

dot Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Would I do it again? Oh ya. Problem is, that I am over fifty and don’t have the energy it takes for such a commitment. The shop as a life support system? More than likely it was my life support system for my mind and for the hobby. In the twenty three years that I owned the car I went as far as I could intellectually and mechanically with it. Anything above or beyond would have ruined the project. The car was over engineered so as not break. As a result it is a tad overweight at 3000 lbs. But solid and reliable. I find the same thing with the Aston. Something that would be sufficient in America ends up weighing twice in England because an engineer spent too much time looking at it. As a lifelong hobby this definitely the best. What more can I say? Dream then build it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
