EKH679J here, I told Pete I wanted to be a proper member and he said OK as long as I behave. I told him, bear in mind that it's very cold and you've not got me a garage yet. He said that the best he could do meantime was that he'd take me out for a run every now and then to make sure I was OK. I asked him why he didn't get a garage first before getting me and he said that that he'd always really wanted me and that time was running out and he promised he'd get a garage soon. He 'kin better it's 'kin freezin ( I'm ex California).Said he'd take me skiing soon. Not sure I believe him.

Hi from SVX707M, 4BOA, SCW455L, SCW456L, TGU980L, PKJ112L AND BSS285M.
That's just showing off
Pete, says he's gonna fit new points tomorrow (Japanese manufactured old stock) and give me a new windae washer pump (generic fit). Says we can't go skiing till he's done it, aye, right, whatever. He's only getting me new points cos I ran like a dog last weekend ha, ha.

84 today, sun up at 6:23, sun down at 7:52. Preparing for a very cold Friday at 66 with some rain but back in the 80's later next week. We are troopers here so we'll make it ok. LOL

Ugh. I REALLY miss living in California.
What used to crack me up was seeing people in winter coats when it dropped into the 60s - I'd be in my t-shirt thinking "what is wrong with these people?"
Of course, when I moved back to the UK I was perpetually cold for a year!

Hello EKH679J from your Japanese cousin EKH523J.
I'm a RHD Fairlady Z originally from the land of the rising sun that has travelled a few countries including USA (California) and ended up in sunny Bristol, UK.
My owner decided to give up on buying points as he moaned about them burning out frequently so I'm fitted with an Electronic dizzy from a 280ZX. Felt & run loads better since & would suggest that you give it a go.
Having problems with my heater hoses at the moment so I'm in bits but its fun seeing my owner turn into a contortionist under the dashboard trying to sort it all out. The bleep machine has been in overdrive the last couple of weekends with some colourful language which is not English or Japanese
Hope to meet up sometime.

Nice parking.....but jeez - get a wiggle on and build that garage - you have the space !
Yeah, I just don't know how to go about it. I've had' tradesmen' in to do work and it's a minefield.I've got an east european joiner i can trust now.
It doesn't help that I don't know if I want a 150mm slab for a timber garage or a single skin garage or a foundation for a double skin garage.I don't know much about this sort of stuff and I know I'll get reamed if I leave it all to someone else. I've got relatives in Eire that seem to throw stuff up at the drop of a hat, it's all, Michael will dig out, his brother will lay the blocks,Sean along the road will do the roof .....etc.Maybe I need to call in a few favours.

Foundations and structure for a double garage (no door) with the option to extend to make a quadruple garage allowing 3xcar storage and a workshop/storage space if needed....ie if you don't sort yourself out a seperate lean-to so you can in fact store 4x cars !
