Lest we forget.... and get scammed again.
This post is a very old one, from 2008. It was a bit of drama, and I remember we were almost dragged into court over it. No reason to hash up an old and distant memory over this thing. I'm locking the thread. Always always always make sure to protect yourself when performing online transactions. The best way to do this is to use a service like Paypal, a credit card, online broker, or some kind of or even better perform the transaction in person. Online transactions can be a very good way of doing business, but, you always have to watch out for someone who promises to send something and they don't actually send it. I am going to post a very good article I found on Craigslist transactions, which, are exactly the same kind of transactions that occur on any website. Link HERE. Mike

SCAMMER ALERT Please read my fellow Z friends
I'll see if I can lock out his IP address. But most likely he's probably one of 1,000 employees in a single building somewhere overseas. There's a lot of this going around the net and unfortunately too many people to fall into their trap. That's why they keep doing it. I applaud you for thinking twice about thus guy (or girl). I have several warnings, just like Craigslist, warning people to never ship a car or a product without payment first. In my case I found a really awesome stroller for my kid. I contacted the poster, and he/she told me they were out of Portland. I then asked to cone by and take a look. I was soon told they have no storefront because the products were so inexpensive. They wanted to save me money. After becoming suspicious, I went to the next step. He/she asked me to drive to my local target where I could buy some kind of cash transfer card. A few days later and a trip to target ( I didn't actually buy the card), I replied back to this person saying I was ready. He/she then said great and send me a tracking number. It seemed legit. I was then asked to provide the registration number and password for the money card. I then said wait for the tracking to show up at UPS. Nothing. A day later. No updated info on the tracking. It just said invalid number. I then emailed this person and he/she got very upset. They threatened me, said things related to how long their business has been around, how they couldn't afford to tarnish their reputation, etc etc. I then forwarded the emails, Hostnames, and other data to the Feds. About a week later I emailed that same address, no such user. Interesting.

MSA Z Bash 2011
I'm confused about these events, was the MSA show part of the Irvine C&C?

MSA Z Bash 2011
Very nice! Wish I could have made it to the bash. Can you guys upload your photos into our gallery? I have been collecting photos every year from MSA and it appears you guys have some nice photos. Here's a link to the gallery where we put them: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3675 Putting them on our site will assure the photos last forever, because people move flickr accounts all the time and we'll lose the photos. Click on the link "Upload Photos" on the upper right menu bar. Thanks!!

24 months of intensive restoration, and I'm almost done.
I just blogged about this today in my own blog. Someone pointed me to an article about the car over at Autoblog this morning and I wanted to share it. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/28/ebay-find-of-the-day-worlds-best-datsun-240z-resto-mod/ They are calling this the best 240z resto-mod. Congrats on the project, AND the sale. Hopefully you came out ahead either in love or price.. or both.

Is there anything I should really get from the cars in the local junkyard?
Grab the interior panels if they look any good. Door panels especially.
