That Ozzy Guy

Well, I've already changed my mind about a couple of things. Over the weekend I've decided not to just reco the engine and carbs but to buy new SU's and go mild on the engine. Have organised the 2.5" zorst and carbs and am shopping for a mechanic to do my engine work. Have spoken to a guy from Thornleigh Cylinder Heads & Engine Reconditioning and also to Ned from Hercules who builds animal engines. Either of them would do a good job in my opinion.

:classic: Thanks Mike

This has gone too far! Who is this MSA I keep hearing about and do they have a website? Thanks

poor cow. wouldn't walking be quicker in this instance?

Funny how the mind automatically assumes.

That's great news Ben. Would there be any Prince owners in SA? Or Aus for that matter? Might be just my ignorance but I've never heard of any.

My turn George M 24 Single Sydney Aus Contrary to my username I am not Ozzy. I was born in Macedonia and came to Sydney in 1987 where I've settled in very nicely. I do consider myself as much an Ozzy as anyone and love this country like it were my own motherland. I love movies, a fat book, a decent meal, jumping out of planes and riding my bike downhills. Most recently I've fallen in love with a '72 240Z. My friend who's and ol' schooler was constantly trying to get me to buy an old 8. I've loved the '67 Fastbacks since a wee little lad so I started shopping for one but soon realised that they are not as affordable as I originaly thought. So the quest for my next car came to a halt. That is untill I saw a 240Z in the streets near my house. Having never seen one I was more than curious and dubbed it my unicorn not knowing anything about this car. During a conversation one night soon after I brought up my unicorn and my friends realised I was reffering to a Z. That night I started my research and the rest is history as they say. Didn't take me too long to find one which was surprising because of the rarity of them here in Aus. Again I must thank Steve Curtis who led me to my car.:classic: Thus ends my story and here begins my love of my unicorn. ok ok, that was a bit :sick: but it's true

There was a discussion not long ago about this. Do a search on "VIN" and you shall find lots and lots of info. Yes they are in chronological order and numerical too although some (namely HS30-H) will tell you that a few numbers were skipped for whatever reason unknown.

Tell us what you've got planned for your car in 2003. Rules- 1)Post only once to avoid clutter 2)List all your to do items and try to be realistic 3)Once you have completed a goal, edit your original post and let us know the outcome I wish you all goodluck with your goals and may you fulfil them with change left in your pockets.

Very nice and very noisy. 5)Rustproof treatment 6)Airdam and headlight covers. This is a maybe as the current stock look is growing on me 7)I'm sure something will come up

not necessarily. i had a ford capri lined up a while back from Brisbane to Sydney for around $360 with full insurance and under a tarp too. shop around. it's worth increasing the market area if you are looking for a rare car like the datto.

I know ay. I remember watching Beyond 2000 as a youngen and thinking to myself that I'll be flying cars by the time I got my license. Fat chance of that happening even in my lifetime I believe.

ehh, new years is old news here. Happy New Year everyone!

Damn, you gotta be quick ay. What time did you call and was it the first time it was advertised?

The 9 oclock fireworks were cancelled due to high wind and the midnight ones were cut short also due to high wind. Have to wait to next year to top the amazing show of 2000. Now those were some fireworks.

Hi Nigel. Nice car mate. I see you bought it from Rockdale. I know that area well as I live near there. I've just recently bought myself a 240 as well and I'm loving it. Do you ever go out cruising into the city or thereabouts? If you do I'd love to meet up with you one night. I'll pm you my mobile number if you are interested.

I propose we all chip in some change to buy it and take it off the road.

Got a contact number or email I can use to get the rest of the details? That's great guys. Keep them coming please.

I'm under the impression that it does halz.

Any more?
