Happy St. Patrick's Day! http://www.danggoodjokes.com/irish/

WOW David, Those are some awesome front rotors and calipers! And they're beautiful too! They must have cost quite a bit. You must be a DINK (Dual Income No Kids)! Man, I hope you a use 5 point harness to keep you from flying through the windshield!!!

As far as Grey Davis is concerned, he doesn't do ANYTHING if there's not something in it for HIM! I wouldn't be surprised if the state energy secretary, the one who doesn't have a clue about energy, was appointed by Davis so she wouldn't know what he was up to with the so-called 'energy shortage'. I'm VERY proud to say I didn't vote for him in either election. Speaking of self interest, from what has been reported in the media (Fox News Network), France, Germany, and Russia have major 'oil' contracts with Iraq (pending and future) that will be in jepardy if Saddam is taken out. The US's interest is, by being the only super power left in the world, one of enforcing the 'elimination of weapons of mass destruction' that was established in 1991. Slimebag Clinton wouldn't enforce it, so now it's up to Dubbya to go in and take out the major contributor to civilian slaughter in the middle east. It'll be interesting to see who has been breaking the sanctions imposed on Iraq once we clean house over there! As for the United Nations. What a joke! Ineptitude at it's finest. We had to go into Bosnia to bail them out. 85% US Military, 15% everyone else. The UN gladly accepts our help & money where it concerns THEM. But when we ask for moral support (votes) to take Mr. Rape/Murder/Steal/Lie/Gas'em, the major players threaten to veto! And we US citizens are subsidizing them by the millions of dollars! Give me a break.

I had an '81 5 speed installed in my '75 280Z a few months ago when my original 4 speed went out. My mechanic/friend had to bend the shift lever towards the rear about 2 inches to place it at the original location in the tunnel/console. By doing so that lowered the top of the lever. It's still usable but, because I have an aftermarket padded lid/armrest on my console, I'm planning on installing a taller shift knob to bring it back up a bit.

Hey Carl, Just be glad you weren't driving a motorcycle!

Carl, Think Roman (numeral)!

My screen name, 'GunnerRob', doesn't mean that I'm a weapons freak. The name comes from when I was young, about 13 yrs. old. As a kid I was quite thin in stature, so when I played neighborhood sports I tended to over play in order to make up for the lack of bulk (and talent!). This was especially true when playing basketball. Since I couldn't get close to the net to make shots, I'd just heave the ball towards it from a distance! My brother called that 'gunning' the ball and consequently nicknamed me 'Gunner Rob'. Gotta love brothers!:classic: BTW Carl, I instantly knew what your screen name meant. I've had to make evasive manauvers myself to keep my Z from being labeled as such. One of these days I'll have share with you about how a friend was killed by horses while driving, if you're interested.

Hi z_boi I had a '78 and now have a '75. They both got around 20 mpg on the freeway and 17 mpg around town. Both of them had 4 speed transmissions and were pretty well maintained. I now have an '81 5 speed in my '75 and am getting about 25 mpg on the freeway. The 'around town' mileage is about what is was with the 4 speed.

Mike, I've noticed during my usage of the main page that I haven't used the 'Reviews', 'Club Stats' or 'Automotive' panels. And I've only used the 'Main Menu' a few times. Possibly, these could be accessed via tabs or links. But by far the layout of this site is the best among all similar sites! Thanks for the great job you do, and for giving us the opportunity to express our opinion on this matter. By giving us the chance to express our views concerning the site reinforces the feeling that this is everyones club.

Arizona240z Do ya mean like showing him how to toss up wet wads of toilet paper to stick on the ceiling while he's taking a bath? My daughter and I had a BLAST doing that...........'till her mother came home!!! See, you can be young again!

Speaking of avatars. mperdue, that cat avatar reminds me of "Hello Clarise"!

That's FUNNY!!! Thanks Rogersz

And finally the '93 Thanks go to 2manyZ's for the "Toyota" lead!

Here's the '91

z_boi Here are some shots of '90-'93 Celica GT's with mirrors similar, if not identical too, the ones you displayed. I LIKE their look!:classic: First the '90

Where I live we don't have the luxury of an electronic sign, but that doesn't stop the morons!

That's Gooooood! But don't forget the frogs. And not far from the truth either. After all, sometimes the wackos get their way.

I was emailed the pic sometime last year and thought it was interesting and funny. Actually, that photo was taken outside of the US. I'm sorry to say I can't remember where it was taken! If you'd like a copy I'd be glad to send it to you. Rob

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. Dear Bubba, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love, Dad A few days later he received a letter from his son. Dear Dad, For heaven's sake, dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the BODIES. Love Bubba At 4 A.M. the next morning, F.B.I. agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Dad. Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love, Bubba

Mike, MotorsportAuto has them. They are illustrated in their latest flier on page 4. They're asking $189.95 plus $8.98 for shipping for all four. Here's the web site page. http://www.motorsportauto.com/Flyer/flyer_4.htm

Ed, I've attached a link to a page from McMaster-Carr that caries 18-8 and 316 stainless steel carriage bolts in the sizes Victor mentioned. Hope this helps! Here's their web site. http://www.mcmaster.com/

Hi Burt, If you still have the original 30 year old tires that came with the car, Katz may be interested in them. He's been looking for original '70 factory tires for quite a long time now. He has been a very helpful member of our club and is a nice guy. He can be reached through this site on the home page. That's his blue "Car of the Month". I know if they are the correct tires he would be very appeciative.

Hi Burt. If I recall correctly, you bought a red 240Z. I had a British Racing Green 280Z that I put 14X6 Enkie style mesh wheels (actually Western Wheels version) on that had the gold mesh with polished aluminum rims (outer portion) and 2 ear knockoffs. These wheels gave it a traditional sports car look that I like. I've seen photos of this wheel/knockoff combo on red Z cars that look very nice. I can't recall what size tires I had on them though. Probably 205/60/14's. I do remember they were BF Goodrich Euro t/a's. Very sticky tires, but they wore out quickly! I got maybe 25,000 miles out of a set. Good luck and have fun!

Hi Rick, Do you think the comraderie stems from the fact that both of our countries were former colonies, that we are independant thinkers, and we don't take crap from rogue nations? Aside from that, I do enjoy hearing from and learning about people from other countries around the globe! Not to mention their enjoyment of my favorite car. BTW, my thanks go to you and your countrymen for staying by our side in international affairs!
