LHD 240Z in 1969 TOKYO auto show
I don't want to ruin Kats' thread, but just so everyone knows: 1. I do not live in the US, 2. I do not own a Z, and 3. I definitely do not think Goertz designed the S30! That's why I said in my post that I agreed with Kats on every point. I just thought it was a pretty broad statement to say "everyone in the US" believes the same thing. Hell, there are still magazine articles being written saying the S30 was really German-designed :stupid:. That is all!

LHD 240Z in 1969 TOKYO auto show
Everyone in the US, Bryan? Big call! Thankyou Kats for sharing your thoughts about the Japanese Z fans! We do not get to hear very much from them as there are not many Japanese members on the board. I am very proud that you post here though :classic:, and of course, I agree with you on all points. Like Ben said, it is very interesting to see what actually goes on in Japan. It also answers what I was asking in the other "1969" thread about what Japanese publishers publish - it is mostly about the Japanese models.

Cleaning the roof (interior)
Hello! I have noticed that the roof of my interior is pretty dusty especially around the edges, and really could do with a good clean. Apart from taking the whole thing out to clean, is there any particular method you'd use so that you get a decent enough force while not stretching the material. I know, sounds simple enough just to use water and a cloth, but I thought there could be a trick to it . . . :cross-eye

350Z-Style Stubby Antenna on Early Z?
I would advise the glovebox / rear window idea. My friend had one on his RX7 and it worked a treat. The 350Z's antenna looks stupid IMO- on any car!

Showus Yuh Wheels, Aussie!!
Nice wheels Richard! I love the dish. I have 5" steelies. But! Thanks to Alan T. soon the C110 will have the Watanabe RS-8 14x7.5 Type A and 14x9 Type R wheels that are sitting in my bedroom - http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=12505&sort=1&cat=3079&page=1 Sorry if they're too "ricey" Richard :nervous: They will be on the car in 2 weeks, promise.

I know Carl, it just seemed like a silly thing to point out the Neon's safety when the alternative is a 240Z. Trying to be subtle :nervous:

Beautiful pics Jim. C10's always make my heart skip a beat. So the modified GTX grille wasn't "good enough" anymore eh?

A Z isn't for everyone, all the time. All I will say is go with your heart first, then your head. Life's too short for logic.

Zed?
Dogma, I'm glad you took my previous post in good humour (humor), some would take it completely the wrong way which was not my intention... British people say "Zed" too. I was always told "Zee" was an American-English thing... It's amusing to think of how differently we say things.. "BMW ZEE THREE" sounds totally weird to me
-
Zed?
I find it curious that everyone I have met from around the world knows that Americans say "ZEE", yet there are still some Americans who didn't realise most of the rest of the world says "ZED"! I blame Sesame Street!!
