Two blondes walked into a building. You'd think one of them would have noticed it. Boom Boom, Rick.

vdelsignore, As you have not filled in your "LOCATION", it makes it hard for us to suggest a value. Just on the offchance that you are from the best of all possible great and beautiful countries, as I am, the latest issue of Just Cars magazine lists the 280zx as; 280ZX, 1978--83, Poor condition = $2000 Good all round condition = $4500 Excellent condition = $10,000 Just for info, the magazine also lists the following; Fairlady, 1964--69, $2500, $6500 and $10,000 respectively. 240Z, 1970--74, $2500, $6500 and $15,000 resp. 260Z, 1974--78, $2000, $5000 and $12,000 resp. Rick.

cnixgo, Thanks for that mate. I recently had all the shock absorbers replaced so there's a good chance you might be right. I've printed out your suggestion and will take it to my mechanic on Thursday. OH, Tanny, Tanny, Tanny. I should have known that you would come up with such a logical answer to my problem. Thanks mate. Rick.

:tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth Really feel sorry for the poor kid. Hey, ghostkilla, Please tell the kid that we all feel for him. I know how I'd feel if some low life pinched "Precious". Been a long time since I drew a bead on someone but if that happened to my i'd be going hunting. Rick.

That was quick Steve. I was just about to suggest to Steve that he pm Steve regarding Steve's problem cos Steve has heaps of info that might solve Steve's problem. HMMMM, might have to refer to you as SJ or Steve 1 from now on to avoid confusion. Rick.

Caen Fred asks"What is a Dishwasher" Fred, A dishwasher is a rather large kitchen appliance that my lovely wife decided to purchase after I "Accidently" dropped and broke a couple of plates. By the way, you can keep your socialists---- we've got enough of our own thanks mate. Rick.

:tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth CRIPES !!! but it's frustrating. My '74 260 Z has developed a bumping, thumping noise which appears to be in the area of the rear right suspension. I've pushed, pulled, twisted and shoved at everything I can lay hands on. My mechanic had the car up on the hoist today after I'd driven him around, trying to pin point the noise and he couldn't locate the problem either. Any suggestions ?????? Rick.

:finger: Bloody heck, Chris, Was that REALLY called for ????????? I think it safe to say that I was not the only one who found the conversation both interesting and thought provoking. blitzcraig, For what it's worth, you DID make some valid points that need to be addressed. Rick.

WELL !!!!! I most certainly ain't gonna try to disprove #23. George, I've always maintained that if you had a room full of men and ONE woman walked in, those poor bloody men would be outnumbered. Rick.

:( :( Stuffing around with electricity can be a bloody shocking experience. Should your "WORK" cause damage of any kind (such as a fire) it could negate your home insurance. Of course, if you happen to electrocute yourself you won't have to worry about burning down your house. Play it safe mate, pay a qualified sparky. Rick.

Don't know if this is true or not but it certainly makes good reading. This is something to think about. America is typically represented by an > eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages. The following > verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible) > > Quran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a > fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of > Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more > rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there > was peace. (Note the verse number) Rick.

Yeah well it ain't just Datsuns. I had a '84 Toyota 4 Runner. The ignition key would also work on my '89 Toyota ute. In a carpark one day, saw a lady trying to get into her Toyt, having locked the keys inside. Yep, you guessed it. the 4 Runner's key not only opened the door, it also worked on her cars ignition. Rick.

:stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: HUH ??????????????????? RICK.

:sick: :sick: :sick: These are the sort of jokes "She Who MUST Be Obeyed" likes. Q. What do you give a sick frog ?????????? A. A Hopperation !!!!!!!!!!! Q. Where do cows go for fun ???????????? A. The MOOOOOVIES !!!!!!!! Q. What do you call a monster with 4 eyes, 1 horn, 7 legs and 10 belly buttons ??????????? A. UGLY. When I heard them I dutifully laughed in what I thought was an appropriate manner. (Gotta keep the peace huh ??). Rick.

:tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth Gary, Only a religious fanatic could understand the twisted mind of another fanatic. Like you, I also find it hard to understand how the slaughter of innocent women and children can be seen as a means to an end, especially when your religion's holy book stresses love for your neighbour. Rick.

G'Day there PrOxLaMuS (AJAX ????????????) Mate, the TV news STILL shows the aircraft slamming into the towers whenever the subject is terrorism. I think it's fair to say that practically everyone down here was in shock. The degree depended on personal circumstances. A good mate of mine is an ex pat yank and the news hit him pretty hard. I guess because he's a mate and the fact that I've been in a position to know and like a lot of you septic tanks deepened the sense of shock I felt. I didn't move from the TV all day Rick.

Hey there Sammy, Gettin' a bit jealous huh ???? Rick.

ROFL G'Day Fred, I agree with the KIWI Rick.

My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones. Rick.

:love: :love: LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Played it through half a dozen times before my "She who must be obeyed" came to see what I was laughing at. So I played it through for her. ANOTHER half a dozen times. Got any more like it ??????? Rick.

Hey there Sam, I reckon we should go back to the days when knights were bold and the leaders of the country led their men into battle. Can you imagine little Johnny Howard carring a 60lb pack on his back, toting a GPMG M60 leading an infantry unit into combat ??. Mind boggling isn't it ???????????? Rick.

Cameron, Gavin's right, don't settle for second best. How would it be if a 240/260 turned up AFTER you bought a 280 ?. Would you EVER be truly satisfied, having settled for second best ?. Might be a silly question but, have you tried advertising for a Z ?. You never know what some people have in the shed out back. I can understand that frustration could set in due to a lack of available 240Z's but they reckon patience is a virtue mate. I looked at a number of Zeds before I decided on my 260Z. Give it a go mate, try advertising, you never know................... Rick.

:love: G'Day there Victor, Yes, mate, the Meals on Wheels ladies do a bloody good job. They provided meals for my Mother in Law for over two years until she went into a nursing home. Up until a few years ago, I had a little 25 acre farm. Grew mandarines, lemons and veges. Any surplus produce I had went to Meals on Wheels. Unfortunately my back couldn't take the tractor work so I had to sell up. Rick.

G'Day Cameron, The car LOOKS good in the photos. The current owner SAYS interior and exterior is good and NO RUST. I suggest a THOROUGH ckeck of the car before any money changes hands. Never trust a seller you don't know. Rick.

A CAT DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN. GOD MET HER AT THE GOLDEN GATE AND SAID, "YOU HAVE BEEN A GOOD CAT ALL OF THESE YEARS. ANYTHING YOU WANT IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING." THE CAT THOUGHT A MINUTE AND THEN SAID, "ALL MY LIFE I LIVED ON A FARM AND SLEPT ON HARD WOODEN FLOORS. I WOULD LIKE A REAL FLUFFY PILLOW TO SLEEP ON." GOD SAID, "SAY NO MORE." INSTANTLY, THE CAT HAD A HUGE FLUFFY PILLOW . A FEW DAYS LATER, SIX MICE WERE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY ALL WENT TO HEAVEN TOGETHER. GOD MET THE MICE AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN WITH THE SAME OFFER THAT HE MADE TO THE CAT. THE MICE SAID, "WELL, WE HAVE HAD TO RUN ALL OF OUR LIVES: FROM CATS, DOGS AND EVEN PEOPLE WITH BROOMS. IF WE COULD JUST HAVE SOME LITTLE ROLLER-SKATES, WE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO RUN AGAIN." GOD ANSWERED, "IT IS DONE." ALL THE MICE HAD BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ROLLER-SKATES. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, GOD DECIDED TO CHECK ON THE CAT. HE FOUND HER SOUND ASLEEP ON HER FLUFFY PILLOW. GOD GENTLY AWAKENED THE CAT AND ASKED, "IS EVERYTHING OK? HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? ARE YOU HAPPY?" THE CAT REPLIED, "OH, IT IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY IN MY LIFE! MY PILLOW IS FLUFFY, AND THOSE LITTLE MEALS-ON-WHEELS YOU HAVE BEEN SENDING OVER ARE DELICIOUS. Rick.
