    New to the community - recently purchased 240z

    Hi All, Just to say a quick hello as I've just picked up my first 240z. My mum had a 280zx when I was younger so I've always had a soft spot for z cars. Chuffed to bits with it and looking forward to getting involved in some meets etc over the summer (fingers crossed). Thanks. Matthew
