My wonderful friends,

I know I've been a stranger these past few years as my partner and I have had way too much of "life getting in the way."  My poor 280 has mostly just sat.  She still runs great, but there are a number of little things I should have done that I haven't.

Well, I have bitter-sweet news.  A young man drove down from Northern Virginia today to buy my baby.  Now someone will again pay her the attention she deserves.  When I bought her, her body was in pretty good shape, and she was mechanically so-so.  Now she's in great shape mechanically, but she needs some body work to address a few little rust issues.  That will be the new owner's project.  (Maybe Lenny will also release the new Hellfire ECU to free the tiger in all our engines.  Nudge, nudge...)

Anyway, everyone here has been such a good friend.  I thank all of you for all the help, advice, and comradery you have given me, and I hope you will extend the same helping hand to the newest member of the Z family.  (He's already a ClassicZCars member, and you will probably hear more from him soon.)

Here's hoping you all enjoy the ride!

Sarah (a.k.a. FastWoman)

Sad day for us that know you and have learned so much from your posting.  You helped me with great kindness and understanding patience.  Thank You very much Sarah, you'll always be a friend. 

I hope your partner the very best!

Cliff

Thanks, Cliff!  You've been a very good friend too.  I'll probably stay registered, so I'm only a message away.

Sarah,

Wow. Seconded. So sorry to hear you won't be a Z owner anymore. I've greatly enjoyed all of our interactions and hope we can continue in some form in the future. I understand the need for attention on other facets of life and here's to hoping that life's priorities are achievable to a happy balance.

Enjoy the sailing waters.   Bruce

Hey Cap'n!  I've enjoyed interacting with you too!  I really enjoyed our (mostly your) sleuthing out solutions for those parts made of unobtanium.  I'm sure there will come a time in my life when I can return to fun projects like the Z.  Might not be a classic sports car, but it will definitely be something.

FW Sarah!Great to hear from you!!!!!!

You will be back. ?

 

Be sure to connect if you ever come up to Nova Scotia.

I definitely will give you a shout if I head up that way (which is actually quite possible)!  Would enjoy meeting you in person after all this time.  And would enjoy seeing that lovely '69!  :-)  

Sorry to see you go. I'll never forget the yogurt cup test you introduced me to. If it wasn't for that who knows how long it would taken me to find my vacuum leak. 

Drop us a line every now and then. Don't be a stranger. 

Bob

And since the new owner is a member here, make sure they understand that the long standing typical behavior of bashing the previous owner simply will not be tolerated in this case.

I got your back!    

Hey Bob!  OMG, the yogurt cup test!  Yes!  Good times.   I'll try not to be (too much of) a stranger.

LOL, Bruce!  I appreciate that, truly!  ?  

Sarah,

Not only have I enjoyed your post here but I benefited greatly from a thread you had about Z3 roof leaks. Because of that I was able to seal the little seals at the roof corners and get the Z3 much drier. At least as dry as a convertible can get. ? Take care and be safe. Enjoy the ride, however you get there!
