Yair Craig, Some low life's will do anything for a buck. Like the shiela on the Gold Coast (i think), who was selling "Crocodile Hunter" stickers. Rick. :devious: :devious:

G'Day Van, Don't know about the ZX but earlier models had a sticker (on the radiator I think) that had the paint code on it. I found the original paint code for my car by asking the local Nissan dealer. All he needed was the engine number and body number and came back to me with the answer the next day. Rick. :devious: :devious:

A damn fool came up beside me at the lights, and gave me "THE NOD". I nodded back to him.The lights turned green. I reckon his face did too when I floored the accelerator. Bloke was stupid thinking he could beat my Zed off the lights with his push bike !!!!!!!!!!! Rick. :devious: :devious:

I don't think it's a case of Who Cares ?, as much as Who Knows ?. As has been pointed out time and again. When a question is posted regarding a ZX, and nobody answers, it seems a safe bet that nobody KNOWS THE ANSWER. Or should we just make something up and hope no one knows the difference???????????? Enough said on this subject, let's get back to the ORIGINAL question. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Yair, O.K. I know it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Zeds or even cars in general, but I thought some members would be interested to know that Steve Irwin's Memorial was held today. About 3 thousand FREE tickets were handed out on a first come best dressed basis. People lined up for over 24 hours to get them. There is, at this time, an in depth report on; www.ninemsn.com.au Which includes video coverage. It will not be there after tonight if you're interested in seeing it. Rick. :devious: :devious:

DEFINATELY not being able to meet other members. To the best of my knowledge, I'm all on my pat malone here in Central Queensland. Heck, I haven't even met Alfapup . He lives more than a day's drive away. I've started throwing hints at She Who Must Be Obeyed about a trip to the States. So far all I've heard is "uh huh". I'll keep working on it. I reckon it would be worth the cost for the chance to meet up with Will, Enrique, Gary, Steve, Victor, .... the list is endless ........ even Our Bill. I'd particularly like to meet Mike and shake his hand to thank him for setting up this site. Rick.

G'Day Van & Susan, Welcome to the club. You'll find a wealth of information on this site. If you can't find the answer to a problem, just ask the question and you'll be inundated with replies. Rick. :devious: :devious:

G'Day Kathy, A warm welcome from The Land Down Under. If you need advice on anthing to do with Zed cars, ... Lady, ... you've come to the right place. Rick. :devious: :devious:

The famous Olympic skier, Picabo Street is not just an athlete ..... she is a nurse, currently working at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is no longer permitted to answer the hospital telephones. It was causing too much confusion whenever she would answer the phone. When the phone rang and she answered, she would say, "Hello, Picabo, I.C.U.". C'mon now you lot, you must have at least smiled at that one. It was a good, clean joke and they're hard to find these days. (Someone might have to explain it to Bill). Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hmmmmm, Pimpology huh???? well now, ........we all know what a pimp is don't we ???????????? Bill, .... shame be upon you. Here's something else for you to consider. There is a two letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two letter word, and that is, ....UP. It's easy to understand UP, meaning towards the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?. At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?. Why do we speak UP and why are politicians UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?. We call UP our friends, and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some people fix UP old cars. :classic: At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work Up an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this word UP can be confusing. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP. To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk sized dictionary, it takes UP almost a quarter of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you might wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but lets wrap it UP, for the time is UP, so, .............. Time to shut UP .....!!!!!! Rick. :devious: :devious:

Here's some more items of disinterest for Our Bill to ponder; There is no egg in eggplant, no ham in hamburger, neither pine or apple in pineapple, English muffins were not invented in England or french fries in France, sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which are not sweet, are meat. Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. Why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?. As the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the the plural of booth, beeth?. One goose, 2 geese. Why not 1 moose, 2 meese?. You can make amends but not one amend. Here's a good question for you Bill; If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?. If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?. If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?. Ship by truck and send cargo by ship??. Have noses that run and feet that smell?. Your barn can burn up as it burns down, you fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm goes off by going on. One last question for tonight; Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "Quick"????????????????????????. Rick.

Can you read these correctly the first time?. 1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4. We must polish the Polish furniture. 5. He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10. I did not object to the object. 11. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13. They were too close to the door to close it. 14. The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15. A seamstress and a sewer fell into a sewer line. 16. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18. Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 19. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?. Let's face it, English is a strange and wonderful language. Rick. :devious: :devious:

A married couple is lying in bed . The wife is curled up, ready to go to sleep, as the husband turns his bedside lamp on to read his book. As he's reading, he periodically reaches over to his wife and fondles her. He does this a few times, but only for very short intervals before turning back to read his book. The wife gradually becomes more and more aroused and assuming that her husband is seeking encouragement, she gets up and starts stripping in front of him. The husband seems confused and asks, "Why are you taking off your clothes?". His wife replies, "You were caressing me, I thought it was foreplay". The husband says, "No, not at all". His wife asks angrily, "Well then, what the hell were you doing?". Seconds before his death, he said, "I couldn't be bothered licking my fingers so I could turn the pages". Rick.

Yair Jim, That's a good one mate. Is that a vehicle or bike hiding behind the bill board ?? Rick. :devious: :devious:

Yair, A terrible tragedy. Channel Nine has put together a program on Steve which will be shown tomorrow night. I tried to log onto one of his sites to offer my condolences but they ALL appear to have been shut down. I guess it's understandable. At this point in time, there's a fair bitabout steve at; http://ninemsn.com.au You'll have to be quick though. Rick.

We bought our son an old Datto Stanza as a surprise gift for his graduation from Uni. Worst thing we could have done. From that day, right up until he left home I could NEVER find the tool I wanted unless I was prepared to search the Stanza. "Ken, .... have you seem the 8 inch shifter?". "No Dad". "Well, ... what about the yellow handled phillips head?". "No Dad". That was years ago and I still haven't found that bloody phillips head. Rick. :devious: :devious:

HO HUM, YAAAAWN, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hmmm, Since nobody else asked this question, I'll play the fool and ask the obvious. Is there oil in the dome ??????????????? Rick. :devious: :devious:

Will, Those pics either reflect your own life's experiences or you know a heck of a lot more about me than I thought !!!!!!!! Rick. :devious: :devious:

No Will, It's not JUST funny to you at all mate. When I read your comments just now, not only did I nearly fall off my chair laughing, I came damned close to wetting myself. Bill/Rick. :devious: :devious:

You know, I firmly believe that EVERYONE deserves a chance to live happily ever after. Maybe that's why the groom is wearing runners. Had that been me, I most certainly would have put them to good use and DONE a runner. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hey there Enrique, That photo of all the blokes in the wedding party; Take into account the fact that the blokes are standing in front of a garage, imagine a funny hat on the bloke second from the right, then imagine him standing next to a Zed . Using your imagination, does he remind you of someone???????? Rick. :devious: :devious:

hmmm, didn't work. sorry 'bout dat. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Jeremy, You'd probably find that most of us have been in a similar situation at one time or another. Quite a few of the respondents to your thread have pointed out where you went wrong and actually contributed to the danger of the situation you found yourself in, through no fault of your own. It seems obvious to me that you allowed your emotions to overule your common sense in the heat of the moment. While I agree with the comments of those who have pointed out where you went wrong, I have to say that it's easy to show a great deal of common sense when you look at a situation on retrospect, with the time to make a sensible judgement of the situation. You'd be hard pressed to find a more defensive driver than me. But then, I'm a mouldy oldie with over 45 years of driving experience behind me. However, in my younger, wilder days, (so wild in fact, that I'd open a packet of chips with my teeth) (in those days, they WERE my teeth) . If anyone tailgated me in daylight, I'd turn the car's lights on and off. Seeing the tail lights suddenly glow red gave the IMPRESSION that I'd touched the brakes whan in fact I was maintaining my speed, lessening the chance of being rear ended by the tailgater but, more often than not, the tailgater's instinctive reaction was to hit HIS brakes, puting HIM in the position of being rear ended, thereby placing the inocent driver behind him in danger of collision. When I eventually realised the possible consequences of turning the lights on and off I changed tactics. I'd pull over and let him pass. Anyway, I think you've learned a valuable lesson.
