Spotted a really nice 260z 2 seater, red in Marrickville today, just off Addison Rd.

Belong to anyone here?

Spotted a bre style z on a trailer being towed by a patrol (?) down Windsor road this morning. I know of one on this forum, sorry, not sure of the owners name. I gave you a quick two beeps and a wave.

Looked awesome btw

Not me. I've only had mine out a couple of times in the past few months.

I spotted the brown one parked out the front of the yard, but still haven't seen the red one. Is it worth the 50k?

He's from Lawson.
240z, California wide body kit, Z31 turbo engine. Goes very well.
The body styling looks great from many angles, but some (me) find certain features ...odd.
As the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". It's not my car, so what I think, isn't important.
It's a work in progress, a bit rough up close at the moment, but has the potential to be amazing.

I'll ask if I can post a couple of photos next time I see him.

 ;D Hey TIR33D you don't mean "Springwood Car care" do you (Gerry) , does Dyno testing ,etc. Good bloke I'm hoping to get my RWC from him for my pride & joy, which is not far off. Or is it the other Servo on Hawkesbury rd. He's a good bloke to have talked with him a few times bout cars.

 Pete thanks for the feed back mate re 240Z Lawson rocket. Would like to catch up with this dude one day but i'll have to wait till he stops he always seems to be in a bloody big hurry & i've got no hope with my poor old Magna. LOL.
