Some of you may have heard the name. I've been post on Zcar since about 2001 and it is no longer the fun and infomative site it used to be.

Such things happen. I also post on Mutineerz another splinter group in the Z community.

My qualifications in the Zcommunity:

1981 280ZXT = ZXelda (old Germane for female warrior)

1986 300ZX 2+2 = ZXita (Italian for little girl)

1990 300ZX = ZXena (Greek for honored guest)

1941 Buick Special Sedanette = Betty (for Betty Grabel famous WWII pin up picture and my mothers actual first name - Betty Lou.

1956 Dodge Royal Lancer = Dorothy (becasue my wife - her car - thought it fit)

1971 Buick Riviera = Rita ( because my wife thought it fit)

1984 Ford F150 XLT = Freya ( norse for somethining I forget but it belongs to the Dog = Lady Jane - who also claims ZXita.

1997 Pontiac Firebird TransAm = Tracy (because my wife thoug it fit)

My wife Jeanne does not drive (public service believe me) but when she name a car then I know I can buy it.

I'm the 2nd owner of ZXelda - bought from 1st owner.

More stories later.

WARNING: erzelda stories can be very enlightening but long.classic:

So - Hello!

quite the fleet.

u should sell off a few and get a 240z just a suggestion.

Started to but The TransAm stuck her nose out of the gate down the street and begged to come home.

But some day.

Another refugee.I sense a pattern here....

well it allways takes a couple of individuals with no maners that they think that they know everything and think other should. I was on the Z31 site been there for years and one started arrguing about a descrition of a part for the Z31 turbo, he was not nice at all so to make the story short I have not visited that site in years. Welcome.

I have a 73 240Z

81 280ZXT

85 Z31

90 Z32

and my son has a 77 280Z

I love these car they are fun to drive aren't they?

Last one to leave needs to turn out the lights. Welcome to the LIGHT side.

Welcome Comrade

Have you met another expatriate from the east - 0GROY from MOLDOVA?

You two might have a lot in common.

Refugee? What happened to Zcar.com? Did they sell out?

Yes, Derek sold the site. With the new owner(s) came a flood of spammers and tons of ads. Many of us found that we were logged off frequently, which by some "strange" coincidence meant that we would see ads that were not normally visible to logged in members.

Some of us grew tired of seeing the same questions every couple of days in the technical forums, too. Members in the S30/S130 section made a valiant effort to assemble FAQs, but the newbies just ignored them.

Add into that the floods of newbies that, as Tony D pointed out, seemed to coincide with school break, and the character of the site has changed for the worse.

I have focused most of my posting here over the last year or so because of the decline of Zcar.com. I know I wasn't the first, and I'm sure I won't be the last.

Thank you to all above. Well things happen and change is inevitable. But change is not always for the better.

I hope to be as entertaining here as I think I am. I'm full of opinions like most but then mine are more valid. (said tounge in cheeck). And that will stay in the proper forum.

I don't do tech as I learned that if I do a job it will take three times as long, I will need a blood transfusion and the language from under the hood will corupt the morals and decency of the nieghborhood.

It wasn't intentional - but my wife got a basball cap with a logo - " I'm mechanically inclined. I srew everything up". Married women would see that and want to buy it for their husband.
