Hey Stephen, As we don't have Home Depot , can I look forward to being accosted in a Woolworths parking lot instead ?? If so, I'll head off to the cheapy shop and stock up on wallets. ESMIT 208, Lighten up mate, seems like you might need a little laughter in your life. By the way fellas, if a dog bit me, it's the dog's owner who would feel my wrath for allowing a dangerous dog out onto the street. Rick. :devious::devious:

Thanks for that Stephen, It's so good I wish it was mine. Rick. :devious::devious:

Ireland's worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as the search continues into the night.

I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Rick.

Hmmmm, Methinks we've been here once before. With Ken at 76 years young, that puts me in second place at 66, (going on 25). I bought my "Precious" in 2000. She who must be obeyed spotted her in a used car yard in Brisbane, pointed it out to me and it was love at first sight. "Precious" had been well looked after by her original owner, (I'm the 2nd owner), so she only needed refreshing. I had her painted in her original #301 and, on my SWMBO'd suggestion, she was given a top coat of Gold Pearl which really makes her glitter in the sunlight. Fortunately, I've recently found a mechanic who did his apprenticeship on Zeds and worked on them for years, so "Precious" will be given a short rest from dodging angry 4x4's and other jealous drivers while I get some work done on her.

An Irishman is cleaning his rifle and accidentally shoots his wife. He immediately dials 000. Irishman; "It's my wife!!! I've accidentally shot her and killed her". Operator; "Please calm down sir, .. can you first make sure she is actually dead!!". CLICK ..... BANG. "O.K, ... done that, what's next?".

When the husband finally died, his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he had died of gonorrhea. No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly. "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea". The widow replied, "I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big $^!# he always was".

Two elderly women were eating breakfast one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and said, "Mabel, .. do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?". Mabel answered, "I have a suppository in my ear?". She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, "Ethel, ... I'm glad you noticed this thing. Now I know where to find my hearing aid".

My 8/74 260 was originally butterscotch but the vinyl on the tunnel was a little different to yours. The "diamonds" were much larger. When I changed the interior to black, all I could get had the smaller "diamonds" as yours does. Whether it was an Oz thing or not, I don't know but I seem to recall seeing pics of the interior of other member's cars with the larger "diamonds. I'm wondering if a previous owner may have replaced the original vinyl on your car. Rick.

One of my favorites. Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connel street in Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty. The Father said, "Top o' the mornin' to ye! aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer hoosband 2 years ago?". She replied, "Aye, that ye did, Father". The Father asked, "And be there any wee little ones yet?". She replied, "No, not yet Father". The Father said, "Well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a candle for ye and yer hoosband". She replied, "Oh, thank ye Father". Some years later they met again. The Father asked, "Well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?". She replied, "Oh, very well, Father". The father asked, "And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?". She said, "Oh yes, Father! Three sets of twins and four singles. 10 in all". The father said, "That's wonderful, and how is yer loving hoosband doing?". She replied, "E's gone to Rome to blow out yer bloody candle".

The September issue of Australian Classic Cars features a 1973 240Z. I have never before seen in print that there was doubt as to Goertz's involvement in the design of the Z. There has been many comments in the past on the subject on this site but, at the risk of starting it all over again, I thought it appropriate to add to this thread. I quote; Count Albrecht von Goertz, a flagrant self publicist, often claimed credit for the 240z's styling. While he was in charge of a Datsun design team between 1963 and 1964, and was responsible for the pretty (if highly impractical) Nissan Sylvia coupe, there is considerable debate about his input into the 240Z. Well after von Goertz had moved on, chief designer of Nissan's sports car section, Yoshihiko Matsuo and his team developed five different clay mockups before settling on a final design. End quote. Rick.

A New Zealander walked into the bedroom carrying a sheep in his arms and says,"Honey, .. this is the cow I make love to when you have a headache". His wife, lying in bed reading a book, looks up and says,"If you weren't such a bloody idiot, you'd know that's a sheep, not a cow". The bloke replied, "If you weren't such a presumptuous bitch, you'd realise I was talking to the sheep". Rick. :devious::devious:

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door "Hurry" she said, "Stand in the corner" She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder "Don't move until I tell you to", she said. "Pretend you're a statue". "What's this?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh, it's a statue" she replied. "The Smiths bought one and I liked it, so I got one fror us too". No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2am the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer. "Here" he said to the statue, "have this. I stood like that for two days at the Smiths and nobody offered me a damned thing".

A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8pm. The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and drove home. "Where have you been" his wife demanded. "I can't lie to you", he replied, "I'm having an affair with my secretary, we made love all afternoon and fell asleep" She looked down at his shoes and said, "You lying bastard, you've been playing golf!!".

Darrel, Your suggestion does have merit however, shortly after we were married, we were wrestling in the lounge room, (no, Sailor Bob, ... really wrestling) and, as I had just completed an unarmed combat course, I thought I'd give her a demonstration of my new found prowess. After extricating myself from the hole in the wall, caused by my left shoulder coming in contact with it, I then found out that she had studied judo for a number of years. Now, .... tell me Darrel, ... after having her strapped to the bonnet for the eight hours it took to get home, .......would YOU have been game enough to undo those straps ???????????.LOLLOL Rick. :devious::devious:

Yesterday I paid a visit to NARANGBA WRECKERS in McFail Rd. I was shown to three Z cars. 1x 260 2+2 and 2x "T" top 280's. I obtained a few items from the 260 that are in better nick than those on my "Precious". However, I noted that the engine was COMPLETE and fitted with flat top carbies, all glass was in good condition, the stainless steel door frames and glass frames were O.K, the centre console only had one small break in it that probably could be repaired, some electrical components were still there and there was a very nice set of wheels on it. (I was very tempted to get the wheels but in order to fit them in the car I would have had to leave my wife there as a trade in). As for the two 280's, ... well, ... I must confess that I didn't pay much attention to them. Just thought you Brisbanites would be interested to know. Rick. :devious::devious:

Thanks for the advice fellas, looks like KYB's are the way to go. Much appreciated. Rick.

I'm just wondering what brand of shock absorbers are the most favoured by the members. I'm considering fitting new shockies to "Precious" as she's still fitted with resurected originals and I'd like to know if there are any that will fit straight in. Searching didn't help me very much. Rick.

Just before the funeral services began, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?". "98" she replied, "two years older than me". "So, ... you're 96?" the undertaker said. She responded, "Yes, ... hardly worth going home, is it?". Rick. :devious::devious:

I've sure gotten old!. I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, prostate cancer, diabetes, I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take forty different medications that make me dizzy, winded and subject to blackouts, have bouts of dementia, poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet any more, can't remember if I'm 89 or 98 and have lost all my friends. Thank God I still have my driver's licence. Rick. :devious::devious:

Yair, nice find there mate, Were the front and rear bumpers stock on the 260's in the States ???. I reckon they look good. Certainly better than the stock bumpers on my 260. One other point of interest is the centre console. Very different to mine. Is it also stock ?? Rick. :devious::devious:
