Thanx guys. I tried it, but apparently the image I wanted to use (my avatar from a different bulletin board) is too big, and it won't let me use it. I haven't been successful at altering the size of the image so far. I can't change it at somebody else's URL, so I copied it into my photo program, and had no luck resizing it so far. I'll take any suggestions you might have. In the meantime, I will keep trying. Thanx for your hints so far. If the picture had been the right size, I would have it up now thanx to your help. -Mikey P.S. By the way, the image I wanted to use is the link at the bottom of this post. It is a Hot Wheels Z-Whiz that I customized to look as close to my original car as possible.

Hi Larry. Sorry, I'm not from Jersey. I'm from Western Canada which, because of the wet weather we generally get, is gonna make it hard to get a decent Z when I get serious about looking for one. That was the reason I had to give it up the first time-all the common rust spots were starting to show up, and it was easier to trade the ole Z in on a new car than to even think about getting them fixed at the time. I wish I had thought THAT one through a bit more first! Ah, well, sweet 20/20 hindsight, eh? By the way, how does a person get a picture included in their posts like you have? Can I set that up myself, or do I need to get the forum moderator to do it? Some info from anybody here would be appreciated. I do have a file name that I included in my profile, but it just shows up as the file name, and not the pic, which I would like to get under my name in my posts like many here have. Thanx, -Mikey

Just rejoined the club. The first car I owned was a 72 240Z, and I miss it dearly. Now that I am fully in the throes of mid life crisis, and just having seen a partly restored Z in my own home town, I decided it was time to start checking this site out again. Who knows, maybe I will get myself back into another one someday! It's time to start looking. -Mikey

That is sweet! I have always liked the idea of a stock Z, which was the very first car I ever owned, but even back then I remember buying an engine swap publication, and one of the projects was a smallblock V8 into a Z. I think this is the nicest example of that kind of swap that I have seen! And the black is THE colour! I think if I ever get another 240, I will think seriously about that colour. -Mikey
