oh my oh my oh my oh my but .......... how do the floorpans look? Really is a time capsule thing! Didn't realise the air filter is meant to look like that! What's that device just next to the radio, sticking out from the console into the driver's well?

thats what i thought! I took the hose immediately before the filter off, and this is what I found... I guess I'll have to get the fuel lines flushed out!

I had the same problem with a snapped bolt, except my car was running... I took it to a mechanic and he charged 10$ to take it out and put a new one in. Sometimes time is worth more than money!!!:cheeky:

the crud that came out of the filter when I disconnected it.

OK, took the filter off today (finally got time to find a Z92) and cut it open. A picture tells a thousand words... Tomorrow i will plug on the new filter and report back with the results. Cross your fingers for me!

hhahahahahhahahhahahahahhaha i love it!!!

What??? You're stealing our Z's! Go away!!! ROFL Congrats on your buy, from the pics it seems like a verrrry nice piece of kit. Have you seen it in person? A bit risky if you haven't, don't you think?

haha, i think we have a jealous one Rick

Don't tempt me.

My 240K is registered as a 240C.......... mmmm they weigh more, I wonder if I can get back 30 years worth of overcharge?

It's just a pity you'd have to move to America to find such an awesome deal like that. :tapemouth *runs* Congrats on your find, looks to be a beautiful car. Is that no dash cracks I see???

That looks nice, but what does the front of the wheel look like? ROFL

If you're buying new tools like spanners and screwdrivers etc. I highly recommend the brand METRINCH. They're a bit pricey but my uncle bought me some for my birthday(s) and they're really quality stuff. I expect them to last my lifetime, and if not, they have a lifetime guarantee anyway. They have both metric and imperial sizes in them, hence the name, Metr-inch.

YELLOW??? I swear the one in the show was red...

Cars, like ships, have been decided to be female. This is all good and fair if you own a Mazda 121, but cars like a Viper or HSV I personally would not call a "she". "He" seems much more appropriate. Its the same for my Z, but I guess other Z's could be female, depending on how you drive them and how proud (ie loud) it is. I call cars different sexes depending on its personality. However in most languages (like George pointed out) the car is female. e.g. in Italian it is 'la macchina'.

I agree. The Testarossa is an absolutely astounding looking car. Totally menacing. One of my dream cars, up on the top 5 list of Ferraris if I ever had to buy one.

I stated my opinion, but I will not argue. :classic: :tapemouth (because it is not my argument)

Dont be sorry, it's a good thing. I'm just repeating what people have said. Doesn't mean I believe it or disbelieve it

Yes, well, I knew you knew that. That's why I was friendly and used the . Right..

Hooooold on a minute. Trying to be as diplomatic as possible here. I think Gav may have said that not only because Alan didn't be exact on what the detail differences were, but also Mike (ZedRally) said earlier that he found out what the story was, and was going to PM Alan about it. And before that, you said "Oh damn, that info was in a PM and now it's public" regarding the fact that there were 2 versions of teh G-Nose car. I read that as in "I didnt want anyone else to know about it". I thank you for telling the rest of us (who had shown an interest in the metal/fibreglass nose issue) after you had thought about it for a while. But this was after Gavin posted so I can understand how he may have felt a little left-out. Unfortunately on the Internet we cannot show how interested we are in a certain subject, and sometimes people may be very interested in learning, but becasue they have nothing to give they do not post. Unfortunately this can lead to the poster thinking no one is interested... I agree that Alan is right in not posting a topic including everything he knows about everything (would probably overload the server) but in Gavin's defence one wouldn't really ask about how many versions of G-Nose there were (for example) unless one already knows or suspects that there would be more than one. The thought of more than 1 version never even crossed my mind, so I wouldn't think of asking about it. If you drift my catch? In the end, I think what Gavin was feeling was that others here were left in the dark a bit in the details in general, and he's interested in whatever you both have to say. Doing a bit of guesswork here, and hopefully I haven't offended anyone!!! I'm just trying to offer an explanation, no disrespect meant.

Ya, that's what the :cheeky: faces were all about mate

I thought Ferrari did? ROFL
