For those who put up with the exhaust fumes in their Z here's some incentive to fix those gaskets and rubbers and replace those rubber bungs.

TRAFFIC POLLUTION DAMAGES MEN'S SPERM

Traffic pollution damages sperm and may reduce fertility in young and middle-aged men, reveals an Italian study of motorway tollgate attendants.

The attendants, who spend six hours a day sitting in a roadside booth, showed poorer sperm quality than men of the same age living in the same area but not exposed to the same level of exhaust fumes.

Researchers blamed nitrogen oxides and lead for the adverse effects.

Because that comment was meant to work on more than 1 level maybe.......................

And maybe you would be surprised to learn Z's aren't the only cars that have gaskets................

HHHmmmm,

Sounds like a cheap alternative to a vasectomy to me.

Cheers,

This is an example of biasing statistics the way you want the results to be. The real reason these guy's sperm quality was down was because anyone who would have a predisposition to look for and enjoy a toll booth job is most likely a genetic failure anyway, and it follows that their sperm quality would be subpar. So the exhaust fumes actually had no effect except to give them a pleasant high at work. Victor

This is tongue in cheek so don't take offense you toll booth operators out there.

True, but if you don't own a Z, then we don't particularly WANT you to procreate. (Joking on another level here too!)

I agree with peterc, sounds like a trip to the garage to suck on a tail pipe might help get my wife off my back about having another kid. (I need the money for the car...):stupid:

Hahahaha good point Tanny I'm currently studying Statistics at school as a subject it's so boring but it does teach you how statistics can lie etc..

Bambi that was a good one poor alfa. Don't worry Alfa we still luv ya even if you do drive a K Do you still get Fumes in it?

I have a friend who's father drove a 200B and you could still smell it Good OLd Datsun.:classic:

Actually I dont get much fumes at all but hey.......

Fumes DO get inside the boot though, open that up and PEEEEUUUUOOOOOWWWWWWW

As for the rest of ya, the Z has given me more pleasure than the K sure, but it has also given me a hell of a lot more pain.
