Z-point

I send him a mail to make him aware of this thread. Did you polish the bottle? ROFL

Thanks EScanlon for the support. Here is the first part of the story. I bought the trumpets in Texas through eBay. The following week a friend travelled to the Marriott Orlando, knowing there was a parcel coming. She returned without the parcel. I would assume somebody had to attend her of this parcel at her name!!! So I mailed the Marriott, “We have found your package; it was being held in the Business Center for pickup but was never retrieved. What would you like us to do with it?”. I said;” This great news! It makes my Christmas right! She probably did not know where or how the delivery worked, foreigners you knowJ. Could you send it to my home in Holland? My address: Guus van der Bol Etc, etc….Holland If there’s any cost I like to hear it.” The Marriott answered: “Your parcel was mailed out 12/19/03, but I don't know how long it will take to reach you.” Not knowing what kind of shipping she mend I waited, Christmas went by, New Year went by and by January 19th I mailed Marriott again. If she could deliver some kind of info what kind of shipping they used; ground, air or what? Because the parcel wasn’t delivered yet. Responds of Marriott: “Sir, your package has been attempted to be delivered twice unsuccessfully. You need to call 31 20 655 8080 and reference Airborne Express #3754840784 and arrange for delivery.” How can they attempt to be delivered twice if the address is not right?? I did not see anybody or found anything? Man this stinks but I can’t lay my finger on it. I mailed airborne US, they keep saying we did not do any thing wrong and so says the Marriott. I will send the Marriott a mail with a responsibility claim of $120. What you said, they had a contract not I. Let their insurance company pay the bill.

Yeh, that’s the problem. Perhaps sender did not want to get it back and says destroy it! On their tracking website you see when they took it, where it went and the WRONG address. You think they will fake this all?

Mike, Thanks. If only I get some advice, for what to do! You are a big help too; I’m going to ask the hotel, for a copy of the shipping label. I assume they keep this in record? you know what it was in parcel? 6 old mikuni trompets!!!

Hi guys, Question; is there a US lawyer in this Z club. If so is he or she willing to help me out with some nasty things between me, the Marriott hotel and Airborne express (now DHL)? The case is as follows: the Marriott did send me a parcel, hired the Airborne express but somehow the address was wrong. Parcel lost! Gone $120!!!! Airborne says we did not fill in the wrong address. Marriott says we wrote the right address. And here I am, down on the other side of the ocean thinking what to do!! In my opinion the Marriott is responsible. But what can I do???? the addres was Guus van der Bol Holland Germany??? Airborne Amsterdam did not know what to do, waited 3-4 weeks and distroyed the parcel.

Hi All, Just got mesh grille in, from Chloe, super looking thing! Will give it a try to fix it coming weekend.

He you guys, you are giving me too much honour. Because a friend of mine had 1250 models! :stupid: :stupid: He collected all types, all shapes and all colours. Now ….he sold every thing. After a time, things end. :tapemouth I also collected all types. Since a while, I’m focussing on the S30 – 240Z – rally stuff. I am selling the ZX stuff, brochures, models etc. before the 350Z came out the advertising burro, TBWA Chiat/Day, made a card game, remember? At one of the cards, my name and hobby was mentioned. At that time a had a hugh website with all models ranked scale 12, 20, 22, 24, 25, 28, 32, 45 and 48 over 150 models! :cheeky: Showing the plastic models is momentarily not possible, what is left is stored. The picture I showed was a year old! Sorry. All my models are in boxes for the same reason as yours when old half blind and shaking hands …..in boxes the make the most $$$$$. At that time, I even made my own 240Z pin in six different colours. Any interest? Selling them for $5. I have, I believe, 140 pins left. A bulk sell will go for $3 per pin. Perhaps less. Oh, I like so many things to do. Make a rally site, make model library (again) and make a special site with all odd things from over the world :alien:

Perhaps it is time to make a special thread of models cars and toys, but I warn you. This is endless stuff.

Ed, Let us start with the new comers. www.Kyosho.com makes two scales 1:40 and 1:18, japans and US types including the two famous rally cars and ZG cars. So do www.Ebbro.com about the same range only cheaper and there for less beautiful. Than you have this http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3585408186&category=43854 Offaly cheap and I almost would rough. Then there is also SUN three colours and cheap. http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3585382539&category=43854 This al makes a total of ’30 to 40’Z models….go get them!! try a search at eBay.

You have to wait until Alan comes back from Japan, in about two weeks from now. He is one of the happy few who know his way over there.

Hi Ben, If look at this picture. Third, row from below, the cars with mirrors the silver, the burgundy and the police Z. Oeps….sorry there is a Z32. :tapemouth There are also some old Diapets (second row below) However, I stopped collecting nowadays there is flood of cars coming out and they cost a lot of money too!

Like to give you an impression of my computer room, as a matter of speaking “with your nose at the facts”. :stupid: :tapemouth

Michael, That is odd, because if I look myself at the pages I find the years above the ‘tables’.

Sorry Victor, Cannot help you with a story I do not know myself. I hope that you are able to this at home. There are lovely pictures of old rally cars as if we are back in the seventies. Eeehhhhhhh, are you allowed to watch sex? ROFL

The Historic Rally Monte Carlo is over, from the 351 starters, only 276 finished. If you want to know how many Datsun’s took part and finished…. Have a look at http://www.acm.mc/acm/index.html for the whole event. For a quick answer look at The Victory Lane Former works Datsun driver Tony Fall was again at the scene.

If it does not fit my car, I modify it the same as I modified my Z. However, as most people said it will fit the 240 so we start from their. :cross-eye And if it does not have the ‘looks’ I’m selling it again. It isn’t ‘works’ but pretty cool. So are the Watanabe's!!!! they are at home wow!:classic:

Michael, In my opinion you are as enthusiast as ‘your’ drifting Skyline avatar! it sure is a great car:love:
