Hey, another Aussie!!!

Welcome to you on the wrong side of the planet!!!!

Aha...another downunderer...welcome...we must all stick together and attempt to teach our North American friends to speak english and drive on the correct side of the road....and they refuse to spell correctly too...colour for example.... and ask they to pronounce alumimium....and if they argue...just ask them why they say 240 "zed" when the pronouce Z as zee.....hmmmm...a little conflict of interest........(tougue and check)

Don't worry about your PC...it's the internet connection bill that will break you...

Welcome ranz. Hope you enjoy the site and the people that "live" here.

Gee, I always thought we did drive on the right side of the road, don't you guys drive on the left???

ranz, you're not the only member who lives in Australia (the GCOE!) - I joined a month or 2 ago. I'm living in Perth. Congratulations on actually finding a 240Z worth buying - only a few thousand were ever imported to Australia and most of those have vanished (raced, pranged, over-modified or just rusted away). Our cousins in North America can pick and choose from the many 10s of thousands that were imported there and the many that obviously still survive today. I'm hoping to pick up a clean original 240Z (hopefully with the original engine) or, failing that, one that has had a proper restoration done (ie, no colour (with a "U"!) changes, panel chops or interior butchery). Fortunately I have time (and a decent budget) on my side. In the meantime, the Internet Z club gives me my daily fix!

by the way, i would also kill for a 'good' 240, only decent one near me is $18,500
