I'm surprised that no one has mentioned either of my dream cars. The '69 Camaro and the Firebird. I understand that the two cars actually use the same body panels. Can anyone confirm or refute that??????? Rick.

I guess only older buggers like me would remember them but,,,,,,,,,, The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert. They've set up their tent and are sleeping peacefully. Some hours later, the Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend. "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see". Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars boss". "What does that tell you?' asks the Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute and replies, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies playing host to billions of stars and planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately 3:15 a.m. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and as small, insignificant beings, we pale in His presence. Meteorologically, we're in for a clear and beautiful day tomorrow with a slight easterly breeze in the morning. What it tell you Kemo Sabi?". The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, looking at Tonto in amazement, then says, "Tonto, you idiot........someone has stolen our tent !!!". Yair, O.K., so it's an old one. But it's STILL a GOOD one. Rick.

Thank you Vicki, my old china plate, I figured that as I had been sending in all those blonde jokes and male chauvinist pig ones that I'd add some anti male ones just for you so you wouldn't feel left out. As for those Q&A's of yours, I reckon my She Who Must Be Obeyed could relate to that last one. Rick.

Three unemployed blondes were out shopping one day when they found an oil lamp in an antique store. Together they began rubbing it and, miraculously, a genie appeared. "I will grant you all as much intelligence as you desire", said the genie. "Wow", said the first blonde. "I'd like to be ten times smarter than I am now" and, in a flash, the genie granted her wish. The next day the blonde got a job as a teacher. "Hmm", said the second blonde. "I'd like to be twenty times smarter". "Your wish is my command", said the genei as he blinked his eyes and granted her wish. The next day she found a job as a nuclear physicist. "Well", said the third blond". "I like things the way they are. I don't have to go to a job and think all the time......if anything, I'd rather be ten times dumber". "Righto", said the genie, and granted her wish. The next day she woke up and found she was a man. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Dogs are a man's best friend. So which sex is the dumber ???? How are men and carpet alike ? If you lay them right the first time, you can walk all over them for years to come. How many real men does it take to change a light bulb ?? None. Real men aren't afraid of the dark. Rick.

A pretty blonde goes out on a date to a carnival. After walking around for an hour the boy asks, "What do you want to do now ?". "I want a weigh", she says. So they go over to the fortune scales and weigh her. They walk around a little more and the boy asks again, "So what do you want to do now ?". "I want a weigh", she says. Again, the boy is puzzled, but takes her to the fortune scales again. The both weigh themselves then go and grab some food. "Now what ?" asks the boy. "I want a weigh", says the girl. What a weirdo, thinks theboy. Definitely too loony for me. He takes her over to the fortune scales again and she weighs herself for the third time, before he drives her home. As she walks into her house her sister asks, "How was your date ?" She answered, "Wousy". (Think about it). Why did cavemen drag their women by the hair ?. Because if they dragged them by the feet, they would fill up with mud. How can you tell if your wife is dead ? The sex is the same but the dishes keep piling up. How many men does it take to change a light bulb ? Four. One to actually change it, and three friends to brag to about how he screwed it. Rick.

Too right Lachlan. However, the more that are butchered, the rarer the unmolested Zeds become and the value goes UP. Mickie B, Sunroofs are a definite pain in the bum mate. I know. My car's got one. It's o.k.if you're a midget but for a bloke of average height, there is very little head room. 26th-Z, You're right about the Ghibli mate. Shorten the rear end and add recessed headlights and Hey Presto, a Zed. Rick.

Having received a special request from Carl, Cheng Fut ran a takeaway Chinese store in the red light district. Girls were always coming into the store in their skimpy clothes, telling each other about their last customer and swapping penis size stories. Cheng Fut became so horny one evening he bolted home as soon as he had served his last meal of the day. "How about a 69?" he asked his wife. "Are you joking?" she said grumpily. "Why in hell would I want braised beef in black bean sauce at this time of night?". AND An old man with chest pains visits his doctor. "You are very ill" says the doctor. "There must be no smoking, no drinking, and no sex". "I can't live like that !" protests the old man. "Okay," says the doctor, "have one cigarette a day, and one glass of wine". "What about sex ?" asks the old man. "Only with your wife", replies the doctor. "You need to avoid all excitement". AND Why do men die before their wives ???? They want to. Why do men pass more gas than women ??? Because women won't shut up long enough to build up pressure. If your wife keeps coming out of the kitchen to nag at you, what have you done wrong ??? Made her chain too long. Until tomorrow, Rick.

HMMmmmm, I'm a little suspicious about this one. Judging by the photo, it LOOKS about as good as my '74 260 Z which is as original as I can make it. It's the low, low, low price that makes me a bit sus. I wouldn't take anything less than 13K for my "Precious". Rick.

Carl, LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!undefined She who must be obeyed came in to see what I was laughing at. Rick.

Yair, Carl, she knows, but she's in her sewing room creating another masterpiece. Every hour or so I take her a cup of coffee so that she has no reason to come out of there. Here's tonight's little snippet. A scantily clad woman is sitting in a bar. Having never shaved in her life, she has a thick, black bush of hair in each arm pit. She chugs down drinks like a man; every ten minutes or so she raises her arm and flags the bartender for another scotch. Each time she does the other drinkers at the bar are given an eyeful of her hairy pits. After a few hours, a drunk at the other end of the bar says to the bartender, "Hey, I'd like to buy Miss Ballerina here a drink". The bartender replies, "She's not a Ballerina, what makes you think she's a Ballerina?". The drunk says, "Any girl that can lift her leg that high HAS to be a Ballerina". AND, Why do women have periods???? Because they deserve them. What's the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS ??? You can bargain with a terrorist. Same channel tomorrow night, Rick.

Why is semen white and urine yellow ? So that men can tell if they're coming or going A blonde needed to send a message to hermother who was overseas. She went into the communications centre, but was told it would cost $50. She said, "I'm desperate to talk to mum, but I don't have any money. Please, I'll do anything for you if you would help me !" The man arched an eyebrow. "Anything?". "Yes, anything", promised the blonde. So the man took her into a room down the hall and shut the door. Then he said, "Get down on your knees". She did. "Undo my zipper". She did. "Now, take out my willy" She took it out and grabbed hold of it with both hands. The man closed his eyes and whispered, 'Okay, go for it". The blonde slowly brought her mouth closer to it and, while holding it close to her lips, she said, "Hello, MUM ???" :stupid: :stupid: Here's a couple of my Male Chauvinist Pig jokes. How many male chauvinists does it take to change a light bulb in the kitchen ??? Who cares ?? let the bitch cook in the dark. Why did the woman cross the road ?? More to the point, what was she doing out of the kitchen ??? Oh, yes, by the way, I'm BAAA--AACK. Rick.

I understood that perfectly, reading at my normal speed. Rick.

G'Day there method, Now, my estemed collegues have been on about the 240's, as you requested, but you also mentioned the 260 (one of which is the love of my life). Maybe I was just lucky but I bought her from a car yard in Brisbane for just $3500, registered and roadworthy enough to drive her up to Rockhampton C.Q. She's a two seater with matching numbers. We spent April touring Tassie and I only saw one Zed during that time. I reckon you might have to (gasp !!, horror!!), go over to Melbourne to pick up a Zed. I'd suggest buying Just Cars Magazine to see what's on offer. Rick.

Hey there Symon, Just goes to show what a nice bunch of blokes we are huh ????? Rick.

Yair, MikeW, We've been watching the weather reports and it has been pretty cool down there in the south. Fortunately though, we'll only be down at the "A" end of Oz for a couple of days before boarding the train which travels up through the dead center of the country to Darwin, right up at the top end. It'll be nice and warm up there. Rick. P.S. I'll check in with all my septic mates when I get back home. :devious: :devious:

Tomorrow we're off to Brisbane, then to Adelaide where we'll put the car on "The Gan", travelling up through the centre of Oz to Darwin where we'll spend ten days, then back to Adelaide and return home. Eat Ya Hearts Out. Rick.

WAY TO GO WILL, You've come up with a pretty good description of the nicest, friendliest, happiest, agreeable person I've ever known. ME !!!!! I reckon I'm allowed to be self centered about it. After all, I'm only 60 going on 25. Rick. :cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:

I don't know how many of our members have a Zed with an auto tranny, but my 30 year old Zed still has the auto tranny it rolled off the assembly line with and in one specific respect, it is far superior to that of my 2004 model Ford Falcon Fairmont which is also fitted with an auto box. Even when travelling down hill, if I lift my foot off the accelerator, the Zed will immediately begin to slow down under engine compression. Not so with my new Ford, it goes faster. Surely engine compression assisted braking is a safety issue. Any comments ???? Rick.

Yair Scott, that's the same kit I bought. As I said, quality's not to bad but I'm not happy with it. The reason I went for the multi piece kit was that I went to a lot of trouble to find vinyl with a diamond design to fit over the drive shaft tunnel. I'm seriously considering buying carpet to do the job myself. Rick.

HUH ???????? What Goes On ??????? Rick.

HERE, HERE, Well said, David. Rick.

MickieB, Mate, if there's a Z part you want, Warren at All Z Parts will probably have it. He KNOWS Zeds. As I said before, I didn't get my carpet from Warren. Unfortunately. Instead I sourced it through; Tru-Fit Carpets, 19 Brighton Road, Dandenong, Vic. 3175. Freecall number; 1800-335-896 Web site; www.tru-fitcarpets.com.au Email; info@tru-fitcarpets.com.au Advert can be found in Just Cars Magazine. Can't remember the cost though I'm sorry. Full kit. Dvrs and passengers floor, side strips, behind the seats and rear deck. I'm not 100 percent happy with it though. Quality's pretty good but I expected better. Floor mats shift around, no way to hold them in place. Tried stick on Velcro without success. I may have received the worst of the batch. Don't write them off just on my say so, others might be happy with what they received. Bitumen/Felt underlay was pretty good though. Rick

Yep, we said Warren was good. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Awwww, poor Bill Ramsey. You say you haven't had any rain for about two months ???? Mate, we had a few showers last week. The first rain in about 10 Months !!!!!!!!!!!!!. You come here Jeff and I'll make you an honorary Aussie. Rick.

Hey Will, All his movies were inflicted upon us here in The Land Down Under too mate. What a bloody AWFUL actor he was. He had a damned good voice though. Gene Pitney recorded a couple of songs relating to cars and driving; "Last Exit To Brooklin" (spelling????) or might have been "Last Chance to Turn Around" (It was a long time ago). and "Trans Canada Highway" Rick.
