Mate, The leak was easy to fix. I look on it as just one of the many joys of classic car ownership. Rick. :devious: :devious:

G'day Jeremy, You've mentioned a little brother, 7 year old Bre and your Dad. I take it that for one reason or another, theres no Mum in the household ????????. When I was a young bloke, I was in a similar position. My sister was ten years younger and got all the attention which, as with you, pissed me right off. Now, ... having quite a few years and experience behind me, all that never enters my head, .... it's of no importance whatsoever. One very good reason is that I MARRIED AND RAISED A FAMILY. There are times when a father DOES show preference to one of his kids. It can be completely inocent, without realising it. Since you don't mention a sister, I take it that there isn't one, just your adopted sister, Bre. At the age of 20 you're old enough to understand that some men would give anything to have a daughter. I was like that. More than anything, ... I wanted a daughter but the big bloke upstairs said "No you don't Rick, not in this life". As a consequence, there's a bloody big hole in my life that has never been filled. Fortunately, my son Ken has provided a grandaughter that helps to ease the emptiness I feel. If we had adopted a daughter, I know that she would have been the light of my life and almost everything and everybody would have had to settle for second best. Ken's known that since he was eighteen and it's never bothered him. Stop and think for a minute mate. In all honesty, ... do you think that what I have said could POSSIBLY apply to your father ???? Rick.

One of our regular golfing foursome was unexpectedly transferred to another town, so Bill suggested we ask a new member, Chrisa, to join our group. He seemed a very pleasant bloke so we asked him to join us on the first tee at 9.30 a.m. the following Sunday. Chrisa said, "Fine, but I may be about ten minutes late". The following Sunday Chrisa showed up right on time. Not only that, but he played left handed and won the game. They agreed to meet the following Sunday at 9.30. Chrisa again said, "Okay, but I may be about ten minutes late, so please wait for me". The next Sunday, Chrisa was there at 9.30 on the dot. This time, he played right handed and beat us again. "Okay for next Sunday at 9.30 ?", Bill asked. Chrisa said, "Sure, but if I'm ten minutes late, ......." Enrique said, "Wait a minute, ..... you always say you might be ten minutes late. But you're always right on time and you beat us whether you play left or right handed". "Well, .... that's true", Chrisa said. "You see, I'm very superstitious. If I wake up and my wife is sleeping on her left side, I play left handed. If she's on her right side, I play right handed". "What if she's on her back?, asked Rick. "That's when I'm ten minutes late", said Chrisa. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Dewayne, For what it's worth, I just went out to the garage and squeezed this fat gut of mine under "Precious" and found that there are NO HOLES in that area. (I took into consideration the fact that your cars are L/H drive so checked the oposite side, ... no holes). While I was under there I checked where the towbar had been fitted. ("Precious" had a towbar). Nowhere near where the holes are in your Zed. I don't suppose you can contact the P.O. to ask can you ???. The only other thing I can think of is, particularly if there are corresponding holes on the other side, perhaps a P.O. had bolted speakers or some such thing in there. Otherwise, I'm sorry to say, I'm out of ideas. Rick.

One morning I was reminded by my secretary that it was my wife's birthday. At lunch, I went to the local mall and tried to find a gift for her. Upon passing a lingerie store, I realised that my wife has never had any real sexy lingerie. I got the idea to buy her something real sexy to make her feel good. I went into the store and told the clerk to wrap up the most expensive, sheerest negligee she had. I took the parcel and raced home to give my wife her gift. She was in the kitchen so I asked her to go upstairs and unwrap it and I'd wait in the kitchen. My wife said thanks and happily raced upstairs to the bedroom. Opening the package, she realised that this was something she'd never had before and that it was so sheer that it left nothing to the imagination. She thought for a moment and then decided that she would really surprise me and go down stairs without any clothes on at all. So she left the negligee on the bed and came down the stairs stark naked and called out, "RI--ICK, ... come out to the hallway and look". I walked out to the staircase, looked up at my wife and exclaimed, " BLOODY HECK, .... ALL THAT MONEY !!!!!!! .... THE LEAST THEY COULD HAVE DONE IS IRON OUT THE WRINKLES !!!!!!!!!". Rick. :devious: :devious:

Good to see you back on deck Jared, Hopefully you'll stick around. Nice kits. Would've made a big hole in the pocket huh ??. I had to buy a new radiator cap on the weekend. Saturday I cleaned and gapped the plugs, took her for a drive, then put her to bed for the night. Sunday I noticed a little pool of green liquid on the garage floor. Checked the cap and sure enough, a nice little hole had appeared overnight. My Z gremlin had struck again. ROFL Rick. :devious: :devious:

No holes in the hump in that position, I'd say fill 'em. Enrique, Do you still think those other holes would be for the luggage straps ?? They look to be in the wrong spot for that. Hard to tell from the photo just where that area is. My guess is to the left of the spare wheel well. The holes wouldn't have been for a towbar mount would they ???? That's my guess. Rick. :devious: :devious:

OHMYGAWD, The poor bloke !!!. What a shocking experience !!!!. Rick. :devious: :devious:

OOOoohhhh, .... Enrique !!!!!!!!!! Do you REALLY think I'd do that to my mate Bill ??????????????????? Yair, ... my bloody oath I would. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Gee Pete, Judging by the lack of answers you received, I hope you didn't arrive there only to find the place totaly devoid of humanity. If that's the case, did they leave a light on for you ????????? I would've expected at least ONE answer. Rick. :devious: :devious:

I was walking down the street when I heard a voice say, "STOP !! stand still. If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you". I stopped and a big brick fell right in front of me. I was astonished. I went on and, after a while, I was about to cross the road when the voice again shouted, "STOP !!, stand still, ... If you take one more step a 240Z driven by a bloke named Bill Ramsey will deliberately run over you in revenge for making him the butt of your jokes and you will die". I stopped just in time as Bill flew past yelling, "I'll get you yet Rick". When I'd managed to calm my shattered nerves after coming so close to death twice in a few minutes I said, "Where are you voice ?". For that matter, "Who the heck ARE you?". The voice answered, "I am your guardian angel". "Oh, .. YEAH ?", I said, "And where the bloody hell were you when I got married?". Rick. :devious: :devious:

AWWWW, .. gee will, Didja 'ave ta tell 'im ????????? Li'l Bill wos probly rackin' 'is branes tryin' ta figa it owt. Mite 'ave lost a nites sleep wurryin' abowt it. Airbags ???, ..... WHAT airbags. Rick. :devious: :devious:

We were driving down the highway doing 90kph when my wife said, "Love, I know we've been married for 15 years, but, ... I want a divorce". I said nothing, just increased speed to 95kph. Then she said, "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it, ... I've been having an affair with your mate Chrisa and he's a much better lover than you are". "I want the house and the kids too", she said. I increased speed to 100kph, still silent. "I want the car, the bank account and the credit cards as well". As I began to slowly veer towards a bridge overpass piling she asked, "Is there anything you want ??". I said, "No, I've got everything I need". "What's that?", she asked. Just before we hit the bridge piling at 100kph I said, "I've got the airbag".

Chrisa walked into a bar with his pet aligator, put the gator up on the bar and faced the patrons. "If I open this gator's mouth and place my genitals inside, leave 'em there for five minutes, then remove them unscathed, will each of you buy me a drink ??". The crowd applauded it's approval, so Chrisa climbed up on the bar, dropped his pants and placed his family jewels in the gator's mouth. The gator then closed it's mouth as the patrons gasped in awe. After five minutes, Chrisa picked up a beer bottle and hit the gator hard on the top of it's head. The gator opened it's mouth and Chrisa removed his jewels, ---- unscathed as promised. Amidst loud cheering, the first of Chrisa's drinks began arriving. "Anyone else have the guts to give it a try ??" Chrisa dared them. After a few seconds, a gorgeous blonde woman said, "I'll do it, but no hitting me with the bottle".

AAWWWWww, geee, I got all excited ......... Thought this thread was about Marlene. Makes interestng reading though. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Mike b, Thanks for the pics mate, It'll make my search that much easier to know what to look for. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Well, I'm afraid that I must agree with Chris A. This is not really a subject for discussion on this site. Perhaps you should confine it to PM's. You lot are on the verge of something that p**ses me off. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Dave, Thanks for the encouragement mate. I'm like a bulldog, once I sink the teeth into something I don't let go. Mine might be false ones but I'll use Araldite if I have to. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Always check tyre dates. A bloke I know of, bought a new car two years ago. Recently, on a trip between Sydney and Melbourne, one tyre failed. It had only travelled 40,000kms. When he tried to claim on it, he was told the guarantee had expired as it was TEN YEARS OLD. He checked the other tyres and found that they also were ten years old. Guess they were sitting on a shelf for a long, long time. Says a lot for stock rotation. I've checked the tyres on all my vehicles, how about you lot ???????????? Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hmmmm, I don't know, ..... I guess it depends on how you look at it. Stand the key up vertical, (on it's pointy end), .... it's a "N". Horizontal, ....... it's a "Z". When you think about it, does a key go into a lock in the vertical or horizontal position ??????????????? Just a thought. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Sorry you blokes, Big dissapointment. The key blanks were NOT original. Bloody stupid woman. I explained quite clearly what I was looking for, scanned the page from the owner's manual and sent it to her, specificly asked if the key blank had the "Z" logo and "Nissan Motors" on it .......... Oh, well, back to the drawing board. I don't give up so easily. The search goes on ............................ Rick. :devious: :devious:

An elderly couple, Rick and his wife, a middle aged couple, Gazza and his wife, and young newly weds Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ramsay wanted to join a church. The Pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks". The couples agreed and returned at the end of two weeks. The Pastor asked the elderly couple, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?". Rick replied, "Oh, yair, ... no worries mate". "CONGRATULATIONS !! welcome to the church". said the Pastor. The pastor then asks the middle aged couple, "Well, ... were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks ?". Gazza said, "The first week wasn't too bad, but the second week I had to sleep on the couch but, ... yes,... we made it". "CONGRATULATIONS !! welcome to the church" said the Pastor. The Pastor then said, "Well now, young Mr. Ramsay, .... were YOU able to abstain from sex for two weeks?". "Well Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks", young Bill replied. "What happened?" asked the Pastor. "Well, ... my wife was reaching for a can of peaches on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her". "You understand of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church", said the Pastor. "That's O.K." said young Bill, "We're not welcome at the supermarket anymore either". Rick. :devious: :devious:

No Mark, Couldn't have been Elvis mate, I was talking to him at the beach today. Rick. :devious: :devious:

HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's going on here ???????? have you lot all gone puritan or what ?????????. First it was A.S.S. (I prefer arse), and now we can't say ****S (D.I.C.K.S.). Come on now, next you'll stop the use of the Great Aussie Adjective ............ Rick :devious: :devious:

He, He, He, I like this thread, good fun. Went to school with a bloke named Richard Richards, (nicknamed "Two ****s", but still didn't make him more popular with the girls). Knew a bloke of Chinese (I think) heritage named Peter We, (P. We). And then there's the local business man with the very apt name of;
