My wife is about to become an agent representing them. She will probably do a banner ad or something if that is available. I insure 2 Porsche's and a 240Z with them and I also could not be more pleased. There is no argument over what I say it is worth and I always get prompt answers to questions. Good solid advice. My wife will be a broker for them soon... That is her in that avatar...

Oh!!! That stung! Today as I was leaving the driveway at 9:55am to go to a get-together I saw a very nice red 240Z go past my house and turn into the Fair Oaks Post Office parking lot... Anyone want to identify themselves? Z anything is welcome! I will be driving my Carrera and most Porsche cars are going to be 914's... Very low key. Just a bunch of car guys eating carbs and drinking coffee.

I am about to put a set of round tops on the classifieds here complete with the air cleaner manifolds and carbs for $150.00 I would think any four barrel set up would pool the fuel in the manifold. Not good.

Mat, Thanks, I don't really know my way around the site yet so I didn't know about the regional thing. Did I have the date wrong? Saturday is actually the 28th... Anyway, y'all come on down... Some Porsche friends will be there too. Let's see if we can outnumber them!

Mat, I think I know the management of his apartment building if I am seeing the picture correctly and it is taken there. If I had seen this earlier you could have put it on my property... Closer...

pregunta... My red interior has black window cranks. I notice a picture of red ones. Were they originally supposed to be red? My car is a '73 white with red interior... I bought the entire interior replacement parts from MSA and CDM... Now, I have to scramble to get them in before the ZONC Hooter's Show here in Sacramento... Anyone here in Sacramento a whiz with the vinyl glue up parts... Fat Tire is on me!!!

Ha!!! Well the title pretty clearly describes a car which you guys are all familiar with. I was going to put the yabo pics right next to Mike's thread titled "boobs." These were taken during the build of the cars which took only about 3 days if I recall... They had a rough season but will be back.

Dream Garage Huh???

Enjoy the ride!

I thought you guys might enjoy these pictures. A friend of mine was the crew chief for one of the Playboy 350Z cars last year and will probably be involved again...

E, I think that does help. I see a plastic nut with a post that can be threaded up or down. I suspect it got twisted a little by my 10 year old helper as it has some clean threads. Too late to mess with it tonight but I will put a wrench on it tomorrow and loosen it up... Rob

I feel like a newbie. I am putting my '73 240Z back together after paint and today I reassembled the door lock handle assemblies. They have been off the car for about a year and after I get them together the seem awfully tight. The handle hardly lifts and everything seems like it needs to be lubed... Do these things come back from the dead or do you have to buy new or hunt for good old? I have never had this problem with any of my old Z cars...

It matches up well with a phrase I am always telling my students. Common sense is not all that common anymore...

I do all have-to driving on my motorcycle. It seems to get 45mpg no matter what I do. Like clockwork. I turned 21500 on the way to work this morning. The bags allow me to haul pretty much anything I need to work. One tank of fuel lasts two weeks with my commute. Pretty nice.

Ummm... Me.

The Porsche Cayenne hybrid which will come out next year suffers almost no performance disadvantage to it's fossil fuel brothers the Cayenne and Cayenne S. No kidding!

By next year Porsche will have a Hybrid Cayenne. Over half of Porsche production goes to the US and about half of that goes to California. I see a couple of scenarios that would meet the standard. One is that Porsche now has a controlling interest in VW and VW can easily meet that standard. They might appeal and say that Porsche and VW should be considered one company. They are also in the process of producing a new model called the Panamera. This will be a four door sedan and could also be a hybrid model. Basically when you say that Porsche may pull out of the US market and cease to produce the 911 you are saying that the company will cease operations. I disagree...

I like them. They look actually a lot more classic than the Kosei K1 Racing wheels I have. I would make them my second choice behind Panasports. The K1 are going though for sure...

I have seen black RTV used to caulk the cracks shut. I have seen silicone hose used but you have to find the right size. I managed to find the stock stuff but that was a few years ago. I may even have them... I have lots of parts.

I have one. Griffith or Griffin, I forget... Works well. My last Z I replaced with an OEM which also worked well. It just has to work, up to you...

I have used DAS and the car arrived with every orifice stuffed with Oregon snow. Grants Pass I suspect. This, somehow in a closed trailer. This last time, I used Horseless Carraige. Very careful and meticulous. I give them 5 stars!

Carl, The five schools I teach for agree with you. They find Wikipedia an interesting concept and in reality it will ultimately dictate meaning. However, students are not allowed to reference Wikipedia as an academic source. An ancient semiotician who's name escapes me said "whatever you call a thing, that is what it is". He was refering to the unique human ability to assign name and therefore meaning to a thing or phenomenon. This is why Wikipedia will ultimately dictate meaning. Interesting discussion... I appreciate your analysis. Rob

Sorry, that should have read associated with the name Nissan...
