Alexandra Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Hi Everyone, names Alexandra I live in Tassie and am a massive Z fan. My first car was a yellow '71 240 I picked up for 3gs but unfortunately due to finances I had to sell it after only a few short years at a loss of 500.... I should have never let her go! I am hoping to find another 240 in reasonable condition as a project car. Has anyone looked into importing? I am thinking this may be the way I will have to go as it seems as soon as a good project z is up for sale it is sold! Look forward to interacting with all of you when I finally find my new girl and start the build. Cheers, Alexandra Quote

Alexandra Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Yes Loui, the days of picking one up for that sort of cash are well and truly over lol Quote
luvemfast Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Welcome and good luck on your search Sell a 240Z for a loss of $500........... must have been a while ago Quote
Alexandra Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 I sold it when I was 18, so only 7 years ago I sold it at a loss because I was young and STUPID lol and I don't think I fully understood at the time the magnitude of my love for that car... Quote

Moderators Zedman240® Posted September 17, 2010 Moderators Posted September 17, 2010 Another Welcome! Importing one is not a bad idea but it does cost a bit. Best advice is just keep saving for the one that pops up and have cash ready to buy! Also keep your eyes glued to the screen... Quote
lightmaster240z Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 A simple welcome to the fun house Bruce Quote
C.A.R. Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 ASL? Your other head needs a lip wax, BTW... Quote
peter t Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 G'day Alexandra and fair dinkum Lurch you shouldn't compare her friend to you girl friends. Maybe you should grow a beard. Quote
MaygZ Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Welcome and good luck. The 240 is rare girl these days. The 260 is getting that way, but they turn up every now and then. Just promise me you won't wimp out and go 2+2!! Quote
Alexandra Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 Found a 260 sitting in some guys paddock and after some investigation I've found out that it's been sitting there for years, thinking I will go flash some cash and a nice smile at the guy and see if he'll part with it... really want a 240 but why not start a collection?? lol, wish me luck guys. Lurch... the lip wax is the least of head #2's worry's! Thanks for the welcome everyone Look forward to bugging you all in the future! Quote
peter t Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Buy it and shift to Bris. and all of us guys can come and help you fix it up. Quote
Alexandra Posted September 27, 2010 Author Posted September 27, 2010 It'd be much to warm for me to live up there lol, maybe i'll just drive up for a visit - in winter - Quote
