Caen Fred

I am thinking about the earth quake... If we have any Algerian members I feel the same for them but I don't think they are any!

My sympathy to all our Japaneses friends, hope that you are all well and in good health. Fred

this site is my MAIN site... I often go to the UK Z/ZX club one...

We will have to wait for Alan return from the rising sun country ! But here's what I think, it may come from the orginal "Prince" (read Mercedes) design of the engine, it was a licenced 6 in line Merc design minus 2 cylinders at first, then they added the 2 missing cylinders for the L6! So I guess it was tooling cost at first that created this odity. In the other hand, we have proved to the world that the design, maybe far from perfect, could kick the strongest arse around :love: :love:

What kind of speed, one can expect with all the gear box around? Is there a spread sheet of all the mix Box/diff ? I plan on running the shortest gearing with a 2.8 and a 5 speed euro/box ? I don't need to go over 200 km/h but I am looking for hill-climb power !

Ben, you need to go to Billing! There you could see all the european Z dealer : MJP, Dave Jarman, Foorways... MSA have a web site but you really need to know what you want first... www.zcarparts.com but your on your own...

Salut Ben, For your cartridge, you could ask Nordauto for Koni, they have them in stock, and considering the shipping cost would be at about the same price, they even have some that you can dial (as the tokis...) Bon courage, Fred

DJ road and race, yes Dave IS the Z master, over there in the old lands... I have a samuri spoiler on my car, the only really good genuine part...

So was he the penauts boy?????

Carter, was it the one who could get down the stairs with style... Las Vegas style... ROFL

spot on bamby, as usual. Are you the only with memory in the states ROFL Tsssss Mac .Athur ROFL

Woah, you don't even need the French anymore to steer the pot... what a relief... ROFL ROFL I want Mac Carthy back, you all need to be straightened a bit... :love:

I lived in Montgomery, I had one hell of a time there, used to go to the Art Academy, where I passed a Bachelor in Commercial Arts. My dad lived there also, he worked for CFMI a joint venture SNECMA/GE, they built the most successful jet engine as today the mighty CMF56 and up… I did a few contract for GE at that time, and was amazed by your over specialisation, maybe because you are so many… that give jobs to more peoples. It took 10 American where they used one French, but again it make sense and we have too many unemployed here in France, so if I had to chose a piece of the cake for everybody!!! Humm, as for the love/hate thing, just when the street was calming down, and swallow the (Mass destruction thing), it raise again with Bush’s warning to Syria… Give us the whole list at once… :ermm:

Sorry, I don't get it? (but what do I get, anyway:classic: ) Sharpen the picture for your poor French budy here, thank's. Go Bengals, hooday...

I don't know where you take that from??????? But that's a good question, do we like you? - well first do we have to? - Do you need it? For the peoples I have around me here, you are far from being their main interest, no offence but we are on a big planet and you are very far away. They don't like or hate you in general because they don't have any close relation with the US. All they see is TV Bullsh... ranging from Hollywood Rambo like fiction and lately Rambo like action. Like some of you they just DON'T KNOW YOU. Do they like what Bush did recently, no! do they feel that going there for protecting your country from a potential threat was a plot? yes! Would they have supported you if Bush had said that it was a UN mission to free one country from evil and stop children from starving, hell yes! look on the net and you will be surprise of the presence of the French all over the world in all the stinky countries with Doctors and nurses instead of you know what... Do the French dislike you, no sir never had, never will. We are like that, but we do like the Russian and German, Spanish and brits also... In fact we have the same bounds with the white Russia than with the States, we are coming from the same culture (they had 80 bad years, but they are very educated peoples, with one hell of a culture), did you know that French was the official language in the Tsar surround... When you grow up, you realize that loving is sharing not dividing. It's not math it's emotion and there is some place for lot of peoples there... even you, bad boy Read back my posts, I always said that, maybe because you feel so strong that you do not feel the need to use diplomacy, you took a bad angle for this... You can achieve a lot more using brain power instead (or even with) muscle one!!! Sometimes (often, always with women) words are the worse lockup, worse than a gun on a head, use the wrong one and your history. So, I resume : French don't "like" you because they don't have to. They respect you because of all you what did and are going to do. And me? I loved the baby your Nation was 250 years ago I loved the child your nation was 150 years ago I loved the strong teen your nation was 50 years ago I pass on the young arrogant you are today... I trust, trust and retrust the adult nation that you will be tomorrow... you show to the world that a multicultural world is possible, that’s enough for me to build you a new French statue It's hard to grow-up, you always have to kill your oldest (gun down, it's only an image ) to build yourself. So If we are the old fart for you today, it's fine with me, I know that you have all it take to be the greatest human being tomorrow, I will wait, you will learn... Listen to the oldest, only from time to time, listening isn't obeying. Go reds...

After reading some of your reactions, please consider that it take some balls, to say the least, to stand against a friend for your own opinion, and especially when he is 10 times bigger than you are. For me the little animals you are referring to, are the one who think like Chirac and don't have the balls to express it !!!! Real friend do communicate, no? By the way, am I the only French around here? I know Sean sneaks in from time to time, and that he is even Frenchier than I am (a britt, living in France, like a French, as a French, wait a minute you spy, get out of there budy... :love: ). Even if I do not support Chirac or any political clown, my health is starting to weaken under all your hard shots, I am heading to my cellar now, I need some magical potion. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO OUR Z MEETING? NEXT JUNE IN FRANCE, REALLY WILL YOU DARE... :classic:

Mean, like a French Kiss, or are you gona bycott this one also, talk to your love first, before any drastic decision ROFL

Herrrr, my wildest dream would be that the United Kingdom would join us in the big Europe, but they do not seem to want that. I think they have all they need right now, they have still one of their ex colony (us) working with (for?) them and all the common wealth, that’s a lot... As for Spain, you forgot Italy, the decision took by their gvt. was really against the streets will, Aznar is going to pay that toll pretty soon, he made two huge Oups in a few month. You know there is a lot more than currency that bond us here, most of the decisions concerning, agriculture, industry, economy are coming from Bruxel. In fact, this situation might very well be what we needed to get closer in our Euroland? I do pray for all the peoples in this conflict... cause it's far from over there. It a good thing Sadam is not there anymore, but we are still waiting for the evidence Busch gave to the world about those weapons. It too late now to find them, it will always be entached with suspicion about who found what, and who put it there...

I am really serious, reading is not believing. I want to know what those peoples think! :cross-eye As for myself, I feel truly more European than French. I not sure it make sense for you, but for me it’s really obvious. That’s why I don’t really dig in this Anti-French thing. This is coming from peoples that think we still use Francs…:stupid: Europe is only a newborn, but our new life lies ahead, and that’s a great felling. So when I read things about “French” it make for me as much sense as if someone says things about “Texan” implying that is statement is good for all the US… But hey this is personal, I live here and this is how I feel. When I was in the states, I had friends in Cincinnati that had never been outside the state, even the county… they where very nice peoples and where very strong about their Ohioism (????????) but they where American… Well I am really proud of being French but I am European… But this is another story, you are right to spread this piece of info… and yes boycotting is nothing but a reaction of hate or anger, not very mature in both ways. C'est la vie, Fred

Hey, may I ask publicly that you send it to me privately? :stupid: This is a joke, right? You do not really use French products:finger: ? Hey, from what I have read we are close to non-existent? How could we have things that might be good for you? Please tell me what it is, I might find some for myself? The bycott is childish, you have no ideas of what the interconnection are in term of economics, trust me that you have a lot more to loose than to gain. You have huge investments in France, and weakening us would put a few of your retired on the streets… and nobody wants that! Just one quickie, did you know that most of all the meals served to the US troops are made by SODEXO, guess who owns it? You do not want to starve your troops, do you? I am very glad that only one people asked for the Black file, we ALL need now to get back to business and crank the big machine back. Bon courage to all, Fred And, you are all welcome to France, like before and like always. And if your need help planning a trip there just ask me and will be more than glad to help you.

Hello all, I saw a 1972 240z with no clock? I do not mean that the clock was missing, it has never been there ! The shape was there for the clock, but it was plain plastic in the dash... So Prof Alan, is it a special 3rd world export model, how much is the clock? is it That expensive that you could "save" on this option????? I will not release the country's name, but they eat cheese and are always late for wars, maybe this is the reason why!

no probls... Carl I know where you stand!!! Oh and I, also, do take some distance from men wearing robes... It's just that he is the only one who said loudly on world TV "Vive la France twice in the last weeks... :love:

oh and what kind of flag is that? the Vatican one? I knew it was on our side.:stupid: :stupid:

Hey, were lucky to have it, with all that perfect whine you will not get with your embargo... :love: I will open one for you guys, with the second one from the left !

"grenouillette" could be "Frogette" to you. But after the L28 kiss she will become "Snow White". Hey Sean, will you let me play sometimes with your 'bebete"? ROFL
