My deepest condolances go out to you and your family in these troubling times. I advise to keep the Z and drive it at least occasionally...his wonderful reputation here and helpful nature showed the love he had for the Datsun, and the love he put into the car could remain even after his passing. Again, my deepest sympathies are extended and the Z community will miss him dearly.

EDIT

There are times I might act the fool, and times when I AM a fool but I get bloody irate when someone MAKES a fool of me.

UP YOURS !!!!

Okay, I'm mad. This sympathy stuff is out the window. One way or another someone is messing with us, and it aint cool.

For those who havent saw it, Delta's post about James' passing in 70-83 tech... It's been edited as well.

FWIW, those threads were posted here as well about James, and since they were a personal attack on one of our members, they were deleted. We've never allowed those kind of attacks in the forums here, and never will.

I am so sorry, Delta.

I didn't know James personally but we exchanged emails.

He had alot of patience ansewering my newbie questions when i

was first digging deeper into the Z cars. I learned alot from the posts and e-mails he sent pointing me to info i needed.

His kindness and knowledge were great. He will be missed.

Deleted due to new #1 post.

Yair Keith,

Right on mate, we don't need anyones dirty laundry aired on this site.

As ChrisA says, that's why I'm a member here. Z car info ontap, always a respectful, friendly atmosphere and good fun.

Rick.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Delta and your family. It’s very sad to hear one of our friends has gone. We all are sort of a family connected thought the internet.

I automatically paid more attention, and gave more respect, to posts when I saw Fly's avatar. Cool, no nonsense guy... sorry for your (and our) loss.

Ditto: Edit. Previous sympathy message no longer warranted. Gary

You are such a group of smucks!

Bite Me!

As I just joined this site recently, but from all the views and replies I can only imagine that he was well respected.

No one deserves to die that early in life.

I hope your time with him was well spent and that you can eventually recover from your loss.
