50 reasons why you might be a zed manic

[dalee]

Thanks to NDSOC for this list

 

1. Your EMAIL address refers to your Z car rather than to you.

2. It doesn't bother you to buy new Z parts when you don't know where you put your spares.

3. You bought a second Z before buying a house.

4. You spend the money to restore your Z before buying furniture for the new house.

5. You could care less what mileage your Z gets, even when you pay $1.40 a litre.

6. You find that you need a new house because your collection of Zs has outgrown your garage.

7. You sit in your Z in a dark garage and make car noises and shift, while waiting for your motor to get back

from the machine shop.

8. Your garage holds more Zs than your house has bedrooms.

9. You have enough Z spare parts to build another car.

10. More than one Z parts supplier recognizes your voice and greets you by name when you call.

11. You have Z parts in your locker / cubicle / office at work / under your bed.

12. Your Christmas list begins with a set of Koni shocks and Panasports for your Z (and your significant other

knows what these are).

13. People know you by your Z's year and colour.

14. You plan your life around your Z restoration.

15. You remember the dates and details of every part you've replaced on your Z but can't remember your

phone number.

16. You hate long distance driving, but you will gladly drive thousands of miles to the Nationals.

17. You own 5 Z's and only one runs.

18. You came back early from your annual holidays in order to get your Z out of the shop.

19. You have a large piece of Z piston mounted on a wall plaque in your living room.

20. The Australia Post van stops at your house more than any other house in the street.

21. You plan all your holidays around the Nationals and your wife says...not this year, again?

22. You spend lunch hour reading the latest Z email messages instead of eating with the group.

23. You paid more for your 3 Zs than for your house.

24. You prepared for the purchase of a specific make and model of Z for more than 2 years.

25. You fix the Z before you fix your daily driver.

26. You like it when telemarketers call, because you can tell them about your Z (because everybody else has

already heard all about it).

27. You used to have money.

28. You try to justify your Z hobby as continuing education.

29. Your "daily driver" is continuously being mistaken for an abandoned car as you haven't taken the time to

wash it in over a year.

30. Some of your best friends live 500 kilometres away.

31. You have more pictures of your Z than of your kids.

32. You haven't been to your family reunion for years because it's always early July.

33. The AUS Post man can't believe that little box costs that much!

34. The Z gets waxed more often than your daily driver.

35. Your neighbours think you're crazy, your friends wonder, and you know you are.

36. Your son and/or daughter was a NDSOC member when she was 1 day old.

37. You go out to the shed first after coming home from work to check on the Z, then you go inside to see

your wife.

38. Your criteria for selecting a "significant other" includes Z repair skills. Air tools are a plus.

39. You know the VIN and production date of your Z(s), but can't remember wife's birthday.

40. You buy really cheap tires for your everyday car, so you can save big $$$ for the Z tires.

41. You completely understand the term "Evil L".

42. You wonder why everyone doesn't drive a Z.

43. You measure all family acquisitions in terms of the number of Z parts that could have been purchased.

44. You have tried to convince your wife you needed that UniSyn (carburettor synchroniser) to fix the air filter

on her minivan.

45. You put receipts for the Solex kit and Panasports in the file labelled "Annual Auto Repair Expense".

46. You save broken Z parts as "momentos".

47. You have a "home" toolbox and a "Z" toolbox.

48. You can look the hotel clerk straight in the eye and say "One Adult, and could I have some extra towels?".

49. You have 3 immaculate Z's always road ready, but your wife has to nag you for 2 months before you fix the

headlight in her car.

50. You've actually taken the time to read this entire list.

 

An unsurprisingly high number of those applied to me!

hey guys I really need your advice. I suspected for some time now that the misses has been cheating. the usual signs; phone rings, if I answer the caller hangs up ,going out with the girls a lot.. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually for asleep.                         

Anyway last night about midnight I hid in the shed behind the zed. when she came home she got out of someones car she buttoning her skirt and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. it was at that moment crouched behind the zed i noticed it... a rust bubble above the windscreen.. Is that something I can fix or do I need to take it to a panel beater?

[zzzzed]
