H4ZE Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Greetings, Zedders! Name's Ben, I'm going on 24, and am hanging out to get into the world of Z ownership. I'm from Bendigo in central Vic, but I frequently hang out around Melbourne. Some of my cars I have owned are a '77 Kingswood (daily driver), '91 LTD and a BA Fairmont Ghia (FOR SALE). I'm very keen on old school Japanese sportscars, and a 240z/260z is just what I'm after for a project. I've spotted a 260 'bus' spec in an auction yard, and although it's got a nice ding in the rear I'd still like to have a crack at doing it up. Lurking in the shadows of this forum, I've learnt a stack of info about these cars that I've never known before, and I hope you don't mind me asking plenty more questions (after thoroughly searching beforehand, of course). I look forward to meeting some locals and hopefully coming to some events! Cheers Ben Quote

Lurking in the shadows of this forum, I've learnt a stack of info about these cars that I've never known before, and I hope you don't mind me asking plenty more questions (after thoroughly searching beforehand, of course). Seems you are not the only one either. We gets loads of visits daily but it seems a much smaller minority actually sign in regularly. We don't bite in here! Quote

620Z Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Ben, We have at least 4 active Zedders up your way (Bendigo). Some are coming on our Grampians drive and a few of them normally travel down to our Qtly meetings in Melbourne. We have one coming up 12/5/09 if you are interested. Could probably hitch a ride down with one of them in a Zed. Scoota & Dale to name a few might introduce them selves later. Cheers. Quote

H4ZE Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks very much for the warm welcome, everyone. ZZZ8- I'd be very interested in coming down to a meeting, hope I can sort something out. sco_aus- The Ghia's not a Duallie, although these days I wish I had traded the sub box area for an LPG tank!
