Best sounding 240/280 exhaust
Hey, we know what a TVR is. I may have only seen a few in my life, but I have driven a speed 6, a griffith, and a speed 12 on Gran Turismo 3. Okay, I was lame...

Mt. Hamilton meet cars
Hey Guus, Yeah, I had a great time on this drive. On the drive down I was in the lead, and right as I turned a corner a coyote walked right in front of my car. We all slowed down to watch it go by. I have never seen a coyote that close before because he must have been no more than 10 feet from us. This was San Jose Alps tour.

Mt. Hamilton meet cars
From the album: Meet pictures
These pictures were taken in front of the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. The drive up Mt. Hamilton was great. The far left car belongs to Marc (280z), the middle belongs to David (Dreco), and the far right is yours truely. Hopefully more people in northern California and in the bay area will be interested in coming along for these meets. Don't be shy, we are all a nice bunch and are willing to site see a little and talk about Z's. -

brembo for all around
I saw a Zed with Porsche Brembo brakes at last years MSA show and he said they cost 10k, but it was the best investment he made because the car would stop in any conditions with no fade. It looked pretty cool with porsche on the brakes behind the panasport wheel. Ben

Education poll
Jeremiah, Where did you go to school for Pharmacy? The only school that I know of that you can get your pharm D. at it 5 years is at Univ. of the Pacific in Ca. My gf is going to be a drug pusher like yourself. Well, I clicked some college. I just finished my 3rd year of college and I have 4 more to go. Ben

Car deisels
I had a pretty bad exhaust leak at the exhaust flange and my run on was pretty bad. After changing the gasket there was still a slight leak due to a warped surface on the exhaust manifold, but I don't have run on any more. So yes, I do think it could be a leak at your down pipe. The run on happened to me the most when the engine was hot. Sometimes it would last for a few seconds. Ben

Ben with the Monte MINI
That is awesome Lachlan. I am a big fan of the Mk1 cars too. What kind of S does he have? BRG with the white top is very classic and very Mini. Is it a Cooper or a Morris? I sat in a very well sorted 1275 Morris Cooper S. It was very nice, but my head hit the roof because the buckets were so high. There is a fellow around where I live that has a purple Mini. It is not an Mk1 though, but it is still nice. Take care and tell your dad to restore the Mini, Ben

Location of the ZG cars?
Alan, thanks for the photos, they are great. Did many of the aftermarket G-noses have the baffles. So if I were to look under the skirt of one of these cars, a later car would have the baffles no? How many 240ZG's were made any how? I have many more questions, but I am going to restrain myself. Thanks again. Ben:classic:

You Know Your Trailer Trash When...
17. You have more cars that don't run than ones that do run. 18. You find car parts and engines on your lawn. 19. When the porch fell your dog died. Ben

Ben with the Monte MINI
I have been looking around at the local MINI dealerships to find one of these and I finally spotted one at the Concord BMW/MINI. If you don't know what this is, it is the Mini known as the MC40. It is the comemorative Mini for Paddy Hopkirk winning the Monte Carlo Rallye in 1964, and it even has "33 EJB" plates on it. Well, they are stickers. This is a lovely car, and it only comes in the S version. This particular one is #262 of 1000 that will be built. When I get out of school this is the exact car I would love to get. It will be 4 years old when I am in the market for one, hopefully. Of course I would have to get the "Works" version. Does any of you members own a Mini old or new currently or previously? If so, tell me about it. I hope you like it. hehehehe

Z Babe
There seems to be more hits on pictures with girls in them rather than Z's. I thought this was a Z site. I think it is more a girl enthusiast site that like to post pics of Z's. j/k

any z licence plate ideas?
Hey HLS30.com, I just ordered the plates last night, so it is going to be 8-12 weeks. errrrr

Location of the ZG cars?
You guys also have to note that the baffles were both offered and not offered from the factory. I am not sure where it is, but in Alan's gallery there are some photos of the lower valences of FACTORY ZG's without the baffles. I am not trying to be picky, just telling you guys what I know. Which is very little. -Ben

Fairlady interior
You did it again. Thank you so much. I am a little bit of a Fairlady Z nut since I never get many chances to see these cars. This interior looks spotless. I was curious about the fog lamps wether they were factory or not. Thank you, Ben

RHD Fairlady
Hey Wayne, would you happen to have more pictures of this car too? I hope it is not too much trouble. Interior shots would be good too. If you don't have any pics, thanks for these ones. Ben

That is awesome symon. Congradulations on getting a Silvia. I have seen one before and it was really nice looking. Are you getting the one that was for sale in the UK (assuming it is the only one)? -Ben
