Hi Guys,

I have been reading posts for quite some time now so i thought I would get off my arse and join.  I have had my blue 260Z for about 15 years now and have been on the Z Garage for a couple of years too.  I look forward to helping each other keep our cars on the road and healthy......

Cheers   ;)

Another cruise sounds like a great idea, but not for another month or so for me.  My car is getting some polyurethane therapy and it's my first time so taking me a while. :-\

I was going to wait till winter to do this, but Bob Jane couldn't loosen the left tie-rod nut to do a wheel alignment.  They didn't realise it's a left hand thread and were doing it up tight.  :P I had to take the steering rack out and get it off with a vice.  It was all the reason I needed to start giving some TLC to the underside.

Are both of your 240Z's out of action John?

Hey Roberto,
If possible, make the cruise at the end of April, because I'll be away until the 22nd...

Johnny, you might have to get some improved camera skills - the Stagea is unregistered ATM, so we'd be travelling 'DR30' style.
