There was a very interesting item on a Current Affairs program tonight regarding the age of tyres. It appears many suppliers are still selling tyres that are 6 to 8 years old, which puts them past their SAFE use by date. Most tyre brands have a code which gives the tyre's date of manufacture shown on the tyre wall. Now, .. I don't know about the U.S of A but here in God's country, immediately following the word "DOT" appear some numbers. As an example, the tyres on my Prado has the number; 2704 which means that the tyre was made during week 27 in the year 2004. If the tyre has a number with only 3 numbers, (i.e. 309), it would have a manufactured date of week 30 in 1999…

Some of you remember me, most probably won't. This was my first forum I posted to regularly back in 2000 under the username "Timberwolf". Of course times change and I swapped names to go with the commonly accepted name I use only these days. Gone is the Z..well all of them in fact. I've had 4 Zs. Had to get rid of them thanks to the wonders of childbirth, but I miss them everyday...even after I replaced them eventually with an SVT Focus. The first 2 Zs were 280ZXs, but my '73 240Z was wonderful. It went through 3 starters one winter thanks to the SUs being rather stubborn, after that I decided to go fuel-injected so not to worry about that ever again. Pity. I built that …

Doing some homework while perusing eBay, and in the back ground I hear "You're really gonna love this car man, mint condition" which catches my attention of course, and when I look up, what do I see but an orange 240/280Z stripped, vandalized, and sitting on blocks. It was a "nowwhat.com" commercial for State Farm Insurance. Nice little late-night find, thought I'd share it with y'all.

We had a small gathering of z cars today in Ft Collins. SSuspect(Tim), picked up 240zman(Daniel) and me along the way in his way up to Ft Collins. We met with kenz240z(Ken), Pop's Z(Mike), and boulderz(Dave-zdriver) in Ft collins. Ken, Mike and Dave have great z car examples, 2 240z and a 280z black pearl. I can only dream that I can be as meticulous with my cars. Unfortunatley the donor 280zx wasn't as described and had a very loud knock at idle and wasn't a good candidate for the swap into Tims' newly aquired 240z. If the others see this they will have a few pics for posting.

All I can hope is God has mercy on the owner of this car. What really blows my mind is how the bidding is up to $4500 ???? Basically one word describes it. "Shameful"
