The club was mentioned, again, on page 10 titled, "Shifting Gears"... Here's what they had to say: "... SO YOU DIDN'T GET WHAT YOU WANTED FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Don't fret. Visit www.240Z.org because they're giving away free Z car microfiche CDs. All you have to do is send them 10 Z web links, submit 5 technical articles to their review section, or volunteer to moderate and post messages on one of their many forums for a month and it's all yours, baybee!" Thanks to Robert, Art, David, and everyone else at Sport Z Magazine for yet another honorable mention in the latest issue!

The Internet 240z Club was featured in this popular Z magazine on page 8. Here's what they had to say: "MIKE GHOLSON FROM 240Z.ORG has put together one hell of a CD. Can I say hell? Anyway, The parts CD is a disc that contains all of the original dealer microfiche created by Nissan for the 240z, 260z, and 280z cars from years 1970 to 1979. This includes original diagrams, part numbers, and assembly instructions. Yes, this means that you can see the complete assembly of your car from the ground up with close-up views of every part and intricate assembly. Just think, when you work on your car, just print out the diagrams you need and go to work. Without sounding like an ad, this is a keeper. ..."

Okay, thanks. I edited his message and removed the period from the end of his URL address. It works now.

Hmm... looks like I should do a little housecleaning, eh?

I'm not sure about this, but, will a '73 dash fit into a '70?

eholley, your link doesn't work.

Paris, March 8: Mr Carlos Ghosn, president of Japanese carmaker Nissan was named the automobile industry’s "Man of the Year" on Thursday by a jury of 31 journalists assembled by the French publication Journal de L’Automobile. Mr Ghosn, who was to receive his prize here later in the day, managed to rescue Nissan from near bankruptcy when it formed an alliance with Renault of France in 1999. The company’s recovery came one year ahead of the target Mr Ghosn had set for himself. The Japanese carmaker has since returned to profitabilty due to a drastic restructuring masterminded by Mr Ghosn that cost 21,000 jobs over three years and the closure of five plants in Japan. In 2001, it was largely thanks to the contribution from Nissan that Renault, suffering from unprofitable aging models and economic crises in Turkey and Argentina, was able to report that profits had been held at the same level as the previous year. Mr Ghosn has said he intended to remain behind the steering wheel at Nissan until the end of a new three year plan starting April 1 and which ends in 2005. At that time, the mandate of Renault chairman Louis Schweitzer runs out. Mr Schweitzer has already described Mr Ghosn as his "natural successor." The 2000 prize was given to Ferrari’s head of Sports management, in 1999 to Peugeot’s products and markets director, Bruno de Guibert, and in 1998 to Mr Louis Schweitzer. — PTI

Alfa, I didn't see this post earlier. Awesome stuff. I'm going to take a closer look at this.

Yap, ok... I think that's their version of an actual 'check' instead of a credit card. Did they ask you for the information from one of your checks and a check number? Just curious.. I haven't used the Paypal Echeck feature.

Hey axrph, I noticed that you paid via eCheck. How was that experience? Easy, hard, confusing, or just right on the money? I'm curious because I'd like to promote that option in case people don't have a credit card. I'm also planning to provide options like the mailing address for those who want to send a check. Again, a Saturday morning jobbie.

Not sure about the card, but, if anyone needs to come to Oregon... I'm not opposed to playing host. But, there isn't much in Albany anyway. So, I'm sure I won't be fighting people out of my house.

You're exactly right.. donations are purely voluntary. This site will ALWAYS remain free to anyone. There is also an identifier inside the username box of those who have donated. It says "Supporting Member"... take a look at my entry.. and, I also modified 2MZ's.. I'm working on the others.. Sorry, I've been busy. Catch up day is Saturday.

About the donations... thanks to those who are considering or have done it! At this time I'm trying to figure out why Paypal is charging shipping on a donation. But, I"ll have that sorted out tonight....

Okay, to 'strike while the iron is hot'... here's a link to our donate page through Paypal. <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="sales@240z.org"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="$20 Donation"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Donate_20"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="20.00"> <input type="image" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but21.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> </form> Click the button above to donate $20. I was going to wait until the weekend so I have time to create a proper HTML document, but, I'm going to create a donation block to the front page with various amounts right now...

Oh, one more item. I am seriously considering the 'donation' idea. It has been proven to be a reliable source of support in a community. Members who donate to the club will get stars next to their name and a "Supporting Member" status... Not much, but, its a way for others to know who is supporting the site in some way or another. Look at my name in this post to see the example.
