He praised me!

Yep definately anal... "facts, figures and absolutes". What i'm saying is new owners on the forum are enthusiastic about their cars, they join the forum to show their cars, meet new people with the same interest and feel part of a group. I have seen you go ploughing in a few times now and ****...

Albrecht, i'm just taking you as I find you and obviously i'm not the only one.... I didn't take offense at all and as for your assessment that "some common-sense observations that appeared to be true with regard to the car I purchased", comes across as you being the all seeing all knowing "Z"...

Spannerboy you are right in what you say, new members and new cars should be welcomed into the club, but my experience was much the same as yours. "Albrecht the anal" started exercising his anorak wisdom and opinions on my car and he's done it to a few others aswell. Being anal isn't...

If it was my car, I'd just stay quiet, out of sight out of mind, especially as the car has been running around like that for so long, the only person who's going to lose out is you CrashCourse. A "Q" plate renders a car virtually worthless in many peoples eyes, as long as its safe and has a...

Hi Franky, The car was delivered on monday night, a non runner and tatty. I've had a good look around it and started work. It has some localised rot, a 2" hole under the battery tray and a hole beside the drivers side headlamp bowl on the inner wing, the rest of the structure looks in great...

I agree with Spannerboy, he's put his car out there, he's not asking silly money, infact it seems really good value. Classic cars as i've said before are supposed to be about fun and owners are generally enthusiastic. What more dedicated place can you have to discuss classic cars than an a...

Hi Spannerboy, I think the car looks great, I love the patina. At the end of the day it's a 40 year old Datsun, so of course its had work and repairs in the past. I agree that some members of the forum seem to take these old cars way to seriously, but let me tell you know the person who buys...

Mine gets here from the states this afternoon, I got my fingers crossed!!!

Hi Datsun Z, my first Z car turns up on monday from the states, can't wait to see what i've bought! Good luck with your purchase! I love cars with patina! Gary

I'll be very interested to see how Luke gets on, I bet he's glad he joined the forum... Good Luck to you! :)

Guys aren't forums about having fun, Albrecht my comments were meant as a joke! Luke has been given a Z and is enthusiastic about it, as he said he's big enough and ugly enough to assess what he's bought. Without being judgmental, he's not mentioned what his plans are or to what standard he...

Ok what about 15 x 7???

Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy some alloys for my 280Z S30 but im not sure about tyre sizes? The wheels are 14 x 6? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Gary

Albrecht, Your Mummy obviously never taught you the "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all" rule did she? It's a car for nothing and Luke is getting someone else to weld it.... Sounds like a great deal to me! Go for it Luke!!! Gary

That is so cool, makes me feel like a ( year old again!

Amazing!!!!!

I like it, in the 70's datsuns were funky cars with unusual styling, its nice to see something different from Nissan.

I've just picked up a set of 240z bumpers today that need re-chroming, I'd like to know how much re-chroming would cost as well? Now i'm just waiting for the bit in the middle to turn up from the USA.

Hi Rob and MrF, I did see those they are I believe they're from a Laurel C230, they would fit on a Z but I think they'll look a little odd, but thanks for putting the link up! Gary
