sexual_sushi Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi guys, not sure how feasible this idea is but.... I was just in Sydney to see Top Gear Live and we got a cab from the airport to olympic village for $65! I was thinking how cool it would be to be picked up from out front of the airport in a z. I thought it would be cool if there was a list of people that you could PM when heading to a city to see if they were available to pick you up? So you could just PM everyone in that city thats willing and check their availability (or maybe have a Brisbane thread, Melbourne thread etc that the available people are subscribed to?). I think it would also be a good way to meet Z owners from other cities and see a few cars that you normally wouldn't. I'm willing to add my name to the Brisbane list. I suppose it would be better for people traveling by themselves but I do have a 2+2 as well if leg room isn't an issue EDIT: Brisbane Drivers sexual_sushi - 2 seater 240z and 2+2 260z stevo_gj - 2 seater Sydney Drivers mrp69 - 2 seater 68GTCS - 2 seater 240z or a mustang nuclear_z - 2 seater 240z or mini cooper s Canberra Razz - 2 seater sco_aus - 2 seater Quote
nat0_240_chevZ Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 well im heading to brissy at end of feb if your keen!!!! need a lift to the hire car place about 10 mins??? away??? but what happens if you need more than one seat do we call lurch or craig or johnny (brzi). what about amount of luggage??? need a 2+2 chopped and an A fram welded to it to have a Z trailer also (but then also needs a Z with a tow bar, (which is sacrilage if you ask me,) upsets the balance, or if you had too many pies on the weekend is ok!!! nat0 Quote
stevo_gj Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I think that it's a pretty cool idea and it would be a great way to meet some of the other Z car owners from around Aus. I live right near Brisbane airport as well so I would be perfectly happy to offer lifts to anyone from the forum around Brisbane. Quote
mrp69 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 ill pick up singles from sydney airport gf lives down the road so wont be to much hassle wouldnt mind having some fun with a total stranger in the passanger seat will be funny peter Quote
Razz Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 sounds like a cool idea I've got a whole one seat spare if someone needs a lift from canberra, a good Z chat is always a good thing Quote
nizm0zed Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 sounds like a cool idea I've got a whole one seat spare if someone needs a lift from canberra, a good Z chat is always a good thing If i flap my arms like an idiot, and say i flew in, can i have a ride? Quote
sco_aus Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Yeh im good for canberra once i get it back, soon. But yeh, 1 seat only. Quote
Razz Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 If i flap my arms like an idiot, and say i flew in, can i have a ride? sure thing my battery's still thanking you Hey, if two of you fly in, you can get a twin scott, twin silver, twin 260z lift somewhere how sweet would that look Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 cool we've got a few people in i have updated the first post with the people who said they are willing. I'm thinking if we make a thread for each city and then we can subscribe to it, it could have its own section but maybe (what do the mods think)?. So if anyone needs a lift they can just post in the appropriate thread and we should all get an email. nat0_240_chevZ: what dates are you here? I'm keen but I am actually flying to Gladstone from the 27th - 29th. Which reminds me if anyone needs a driver in Gladstone for some god forsaken reason, i pity you and my Dad could pick you up in a z32 any more offers for drivers? Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 hmmm and i noticed i wrote 'drivers' for Brisbane and Sydney but not Canberra. Maybe I subconsciously think Cranberrians can't drive? Quote
Cdr Zero Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 No, it's common knowledge Canberranians can't drive. Present company excepted of course. Actually I think Canberra has some of the worst drivers and some of the best drivers in the country. You just never hear about the good drivers. Quote

FLY IN on the 26th with the miss' & her luggage!, me 1 bag!!! Quote
stevo_gj Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 haha Sushi can get you as long as his 2+2 is good to go. I'd offer but my 2 seater won't be up to the task Quote
68GTCS Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Why not! count me in... 68 GT/CS California Special Mustang (HiPo 289 in case you're in a hurry) 71 240Z (nice paint & original interior but we're still missing some ponies from the factory) PS s_sushi: I was born in Gladstone!... Having said that, like God, I also have forsaken it. Quote
68GTCS Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Sorry, forgot to mention that I've forsaken Gladstone for Coogee Beach in Sydney. It is about 20mins from airport and halfway to the city so should be no hassle if I'm available. Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 sweet, i'll add u to the list shotgun a ride in the mustang haha how long ago did u leave gladstone? know any malugas? Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 nato if you think your misses luggage will fit in a 2+2 ill come out and grab ya. now the question is will u be a gentleman and sit in the back? i think that night should be a qld zcar club meet if you can convince the lady to go along Quote
nuclear_z Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Put me down for Sydney. Either my 240z or my 1970 cooper s Quote
Zeddophile Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 This threads becoming quite interesting to see what other cars people have (besides zeds)... maybe we should start a thread for that? Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 1st post updated haha yeah I didn't realise there were so many other cool old cars in everyones stable. My dream is to have a early to mid 60's corvette and mustang in the shed eventually. nat0, what time do you fly in? Quote
