What's wrong with, "Drive Like You LOVE it"?. Rick. :devious::devious:

G'Day Frank, Congratulations on rediscovering your long lost love. You were very fortunate that he's old fashioned enough to be "A man of his word". "A man's reputation is only as good as his word" was drilled into me from a very early age by my grandfather and I still abide by that rule. It's always held me in good stead. SOME, I say SOME, young blokes wouldn't agree in this day and age. Unfortunately. Rick. :devious::devious:

Thank goodness for Stephen; that lets me off the hook. Rick. :devious::devious:

Mmmm, Hi there Sailor. Here's another of my favorites, along the same lines. Lord, give me the ability to accept the things I cannot change, the strength of will to change the things that need changing, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off. And, Sometimes I wake up grumpy. Other times I let her sleep. Rick. :devious::devious:

HEY, .... MIKE (the boss), For the sake of continuity, and to avoid doubling up, what's the chance of adding this thread to the original ??????????????????????? Rick. :devious::devious:

My favorite movie is definately CARS. The animation is so realistic at times it's easy to believe that the animation has been superimposed on "real" footage. My one and only gripe is that there isn't a Zed in there anywhere, and while it's easy to recognise a lot of the cars, I'm at a loss as to what marque "Lightning McQueen" is. Anybody hazard a guess?? Having a car mad three year old grandson and a six year old grandaughter gives me a good excuse to watch the movie. I've probably seen it at least ten times so far during the week the kids have been here. I'll have to think of some good excuses to watch it after they go back home in a couple of days time. Rick. :devious::devious:

Matt, Geezers idea is quite valid, that's what I was going to say. When you find and fix the problem, PLEASE let us know about it. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is intrigued by your problem. Rick. :devious::devious:

Duplication Craig, Duplication. Rick. :devious::devious:

As Stephen pointed out in post number 4, this has already been done. Why not follow his link and add to the original?????????? Rick. :devious::devious:

Thanks for that Will, Like Dave, I left it on screen, called Barb and asked her to follow the numbers and she did. The pause between numbers got longer as she progressed. The longest pause was, as you'd expect, just prior to hitting on the last number when she said that, "this looks disgusting", but she couldn't keep a straight face when she hit that last number. C'mon now Will, admit that you got a laugh out of it as well. (Hopefully "Our Bill" doesn't see it, ... we'd have to explain it to him. Rick. :devious::devious:

If the car has it's ORIGINAL motor, just get in touch with your local Nissan dealer, give him the ORIGINAL engine number and the body number and they will be able to tell you what the ORIGINAL paint code was. That should remove any doubt from your mind as to the paint CODE being correct or not. That's what I did with my car. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there girl, While I sympathise with you and hope that Kharma isn't too badley damaged, the important thing is, ARE YOU O.K???? After all, Kharma can be put back to her original beauty with lots of TLC and a bottomless pocket and a lot less pain and discomfort than with you. When push comes to shove little lady, YOU are the important one. Rick. :devious::devious:

An Irishman and a Scottish lass were having sex. "Cor, ... that wasn't very good", remarked the Scottish lass, "Aren't Irish men supposed to be thick?". Irish replied, "Aren't Scots supposed to be tight?". Why did the New Zealander invent velcro?. Because the sheep had learned to recognise the sound of a Zip. Why do New Zealand horses run so fast?. Because they've seen what New Zealanders do to the sheep. How do you confuse an archeologist?. Give him a used tampon and ask him what period it came from. Confucious say; Man who go to sleep with itchy bum wake up with smelly finger. An old married couple are getting ready for bed one night when all of a sudden the old lady bursts out of the bathroom, flings open her bathrobe and yells, "SUPER PUS*Y". The old man replies, "I'll have the soup". (Think about it). Rick. :devious::devious:

An American, touring the Australian Outback, stopped for lunch in a one horse town. After eating a ham sandwich, he was presented with a bill for $40.00. "MY GOD!!" he exclaimed, "is ham that rare out here?". "Nope", said the owner, "but you rich Yanks are". Rick. :devious::devious:

G'Day Curtis, I don't check out this forum very often so I only just read your post. The only supplier I've had dealings with is Warren, at All Z Parts in Sydney. So far, I've had no problems getting parts for my 260Z from him, although I haven't been in touch with him for months. His web address is; www.allzparts.com.au His shop is located in the suburb of Hornsby which is a fair distance outside the Sydney CBD. Perhaps one of our friendly Sydney members will vollunteer to act as guide during your stay. I agree wholeheartedly with Jack. If you have the time, hire a car and drive The Great Ocean Road. FANTASTIC scenery. However, it's about the only thing Melbourne has going for it:dead:(The Melbourneites will get me for that). Rick. :devious::devious:

Can't you just get it re-gassed??????????? Rick. :devious::devious:

Jayhawk, G'Day Bob, Are you talking about the radio faceplate that has the arial switch at the top right hand corner???? If so, I sourced mine from ; All Z Parts in Sydney, Australia. Details are; Web address= www.allzparts.com.au Phone= 02 9476 0966 or 02 9476 0111 Fax= 02 9476 0711 Unfortunately, I can't tell you the cost as he gave it to me at no cost, just added it as a freebee to a heap of other parts, bits and pieces I'd ordered. By the way, It's PLASTIC, not metal. Hope that's of some help. Rick. :devious::devious:

While this is intended as a joke, it borders on serious because I know people like these "Customers". Just imagine what would happen if people behaved the same way with their cars as they do with computers. HELPLINE: Motoring helpline, how can I help you? CUSTOMER: I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened. HELPLINE: Did you put the key in the ignition and turn it?. CUSTOMER: What's an ignition?. HELPLINE: It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine. CUSTOMER: Ignition?. Motor?. Battery?. Engine?. How come I have to know all these technical terms just to use my car?. HELPLINE: Motoring helpline, how can I help you?. CUSTOMER: My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere. HELPLINE: Is the petrol tank empty?. CUSTOMER: Huh? how do I know!?. HELPLINE: There's a little guage on the front of the dashboard with a needle, and markings from 'E' to "F'. Where is the needle pointing?. CUSTOMER: It's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?. HELPLINE: It means that you have to go to the petrol station and buy some more petrol. You can install it yourself, or pay the man to install it for you. CUSTOMER: WHAT!!!! I paid $40,000 for this car!. Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components?. I want a car that comes with everything built in!!. (Reminds me of a woman I know. Rick). HELPLINE: Motoring helpline, how can I help you?. CUSTOMER: YOUR CARS SUCK !!!. HELPLINE: What's wrong?. CUSTOMER: It CRASHED, that's what went wrong!!. HELPLINE: What were you doing?. CUSTOMER: I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.

CUSTOMER: I want you to send me one of the latest versions that doesn't crash anymore. HELPLINE: Motoring helpline, how can I help you?. CUSTOMER: Hi there.

I just want to go places in my car. Does any of the above remind YOU of anyone you know?????????????? Rick. :devious::devious:

How can you tell that it's an original Datsun 240Z part anyway????. Does it have a part number or stamped with "240Z"???? Would Datsun have used the same dizzy and cap on other models in the range????. Just curious. Rick. :devious::devious:

240ZX, What's this Brittish busines???????????????? That's OZ HUMOUR mate !!!! I'm true blue OZ through and through. I love kangaroos, cuddly Koalas, monotremes and firmly believe in the Oz addage of Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden Cars. Rick. :devious::devious:

The Bishop of a large cathedral advertised for a new bellringer. A day or so later, the applicants came filing in, and the Bishop took each of them up to the bellfry to begin the screening process. He was about to call it a day when an armless man approached him and said he was applying for the job. The Bishop was incredulous. "But you have no arms", he said. The man replied, "That's no problem , .. watch". He began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody. The Bishop was convinced he'd found his man. The bellringer rang the bells again, but this time he slipped and fell headlong out of the window and plunged to his death below. The stunned Bishop rushed down to the fallen figure, where a crowd had already gathered. One of the onlookers said, "Bishop, ... who was he?". The Bishop replied, "I don't know, .... but his face rang a bell". Wait, there's more. Although very sad, the Bishop continued the interviews the next day. The first man to approach him said, "Your excellency, I am the brother of the poor, armless wretch who fell to his death from this very bellfry yesterday. I pray that you pay due homage to his life by allowing me to replace him". The Bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and as the armless man's brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the Bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. "What has happened?", the first monk asked breathlessly, "Who is this man?". "I don't know his name", said the distraught Bishop, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother". Rick. :devious::devious:
