A happy memory of our Mt Bullar run with Kyle a while back. He is far left. RIP brother.

Oh no this is very sad news. I just wish people would speak to someone and let them know how low they are feeling. Kyle I wish you said something to us at the BBQ only the other week. We would have done anything to help you through what ever you were feeling. :'( As stated before this is a tragedy and to anyone out there no matter how low you get, even when you think there is no light at the end of the dark tunnel things change. Life is full of ups and downs. For some big ups and downs. But we always end up back on top of things. If only Kyle held out for a better time. RIP we will mis you. My condolences to the family. Whilst we all feel a little guilty and a lot of pain I hope Kyle is resting easy now.

Hmmm interesting. But I question how it would handle as I know what it is like to have a heavy motor up front in the wrong position. I also wonder what the power out put would be compared to a Chev and whether it's worth going the extra mile of fitting a V12 for little or more than likely no gain in power. But 2 thumbs up for novalty value.

Ah of course. Well done looks good.

Yeah hopefully somebody on here can give you a heads up on front spoilers for 280ZX's. If they are the same as my Zed then I swear by the G-Nose and my rear spoiler. My car is as stable as anything at high speeds with my set up.

Nice Lurch. Can you get a car down the side? I presume the garage is down the back so probably can at a squeeze.

Wooohoooo go Scott.

OK here are some details of where we stayed last time and will again this time. Thredbo Alpine Resort - (02) 6459-4200 http://www.totaltravel.com.au/link.asp?fid=616710 Great place and even has a pool so bring those togs. Was hot last time. Now we have booked a 2 bedroom place. 3 Bedrooms are also available. These rooms were called "Mountain Vista" if you want to be next to us as these rooms have carports so we can park under cover directly under our rooms. The other rooms might be slightly cheaper but you could be a couple of hundred meters away from your car. Please advise us on here when you have booked. Cheers Hey Lurch are you going solo or as a couple? :-)

Would be good to know if any of them are interested otherwise ACF321 might be the only representative. So the numbers are growing now with a late flurry. May I suggest most of you start booking in the next week or two. You don't want to be sleeping in a tent. Ha. Will be an awesome trip and looking forward to seeing you all up there. Cheers

Yeah what a top day. Glad you all made it along the numbers always seem to double on the day. Including kids and partners we must have hit 50 people. The weather was perfect. Oh and I meant to shout out a big thankyou to Gordon & Sharon for opening up their lovely property for our enjoyment. I was surprised with the interest in the Thredbo trip so I will start nagging a few of you on the other thread to commit as we need to start booking soon. Have a good Christmas all.

Has anyone else noticed Lurch now refers to himself as "we" now. Is he a couple, could this be a coming out party. Well stay tuned or turn up to find out!

Nice new Zcar stuby holders Bruce. Lurch will we need bowls for the desert? I picked up my power steering rack from Robs today. Progressing well. I will bring some coleslaw as well. See you all tomorrow. I will be there around 11 Gordon call me if you need anything.

OK I haven't done this for a while. O/Balance $479.86 Deposit $305.00 not sure what or who that was? PM me if you know? Maybe Lurch's Panel beating day or Jag Club meeting? Misc various wdl $54.00 Internet Banking won't go back any further. Need to check home for this detail on Stmt. Food for Lurch's Panel day. Bank month fee 4 x $2.00 = $8.00 Cash Receipts for sale of hats 5x$20.00 = $100.00 Payment for 50 Stubby Holders $291.50 Balance as of today is $531.36 We hope to sell 30 stubby holders for $10.00 at the Vic BBQ this weekend. Anyone interstate who wants one or some contact SPAMASTER - Bruce. Cheers

Hey Johnboy, That will be great if you can bring the napkins and the disposable cutlery. Will save us a few bucks. I will bring some plates then. I am guessing enough for maybe 30 people. I know we might get more or less people but not all of us are civilased. So I am sure no cutlery required for some just cooking a sausage to go in bred. Yes Lurch I will have to bring the name tags and raffle tickets. Where was that 20 peice tool kit advertised for $79.00 recently. I should probably get that for the raffle as well. But I am not sure if it was Supercheap? Anyone? They say a bit of rain Saturday arvo. Let's hope it comes through late, maybe after 6pm. If so most people will have their pride and joys back home in the guarage. Should be a top day. Looking forward to catching up with everyone. and seeing the new addition to Sulio's family for the first time.

Wow that is light Peter. You will get some awesome times around the track in that.

Looking forward to it Gordo. I will buy some napkins, disposable plates and cutlery and a few soft drinks and loafs of bread for people. But make sure you bring your own meat. Lurch can you do a spell check on all that! I hope to pick up my Power Steering mounted onto a cross member to put on display on the day. Then probably put it on a few months later after the Thredbo drive in Feb. That is unless everyone is keen to put it on the car Saturday. Ha Ha the weather is actually looking pretty good. I think the forecast is up to 30deg now. I reckon the rain won't hit us. Fingers crossed. See you all this Sat.

Yeah me too. I thought it was an unusual mount. For mine I reinforced the rear hatch and attached mine there. So I was surprised to see the cuts in the hatch.

Yes I am aware the rear spoiler isn't for show. But I still reckon it's a bit big. Mine is off a V8 supercar as well and I took around 150-200mm off each side. I still have plenty of down force. Each to there own. It was just an observation. The "Canards" sound interesting. I dare say fine tuning of the car including aero can't really happen till she's on the road errrr track. Cheers

Peter throw it on a trailer and bring it along to the BBQ anyway. You know you want to. I think that spoiler is a little big. But that's a personal pref. We are all looking forward to seeing it run on the track some day in the new year. Cheers

Ahhh the age old story. Ha OLDZMAN beat me to it. Go to the gym and learn to live with it. The only alternative is to pay some cash and take a lot of time to instal a power stearing rack. To be honest I am over it and taking up the power steering option. I must admit the heavy steering does detract from what should be an enjoyable, easy and relaxing drive.

Yeah bring the car along to the BBQ. I am sure everyone would love to see it and even hear the story of the Buller weekend. Cheers

Congratulations Scott & Jackie. Glad to hear the day went well. Great photo's.

Yes Rev I have to agree with Scoota. I wish you had kept your old one. I reckon you will do a full resto or close to on your next Zed. Simply because anything you get won't be up to your high standards. I am glad to hear your are putting the feelers out. But I hope you find and keep a nice Zed this time mate. Good luck.

Yes I agree with your sums Blurat. To be at the pointy end you really need to spend 100k+ and don't be surprised if some of the lessor cars like the EX3 or 7 haven't had similar amounts spent on them. But as long as you had fun that's the main thing. Cheers

OK this trip is fast approaching and we will need to start booking accommodation soon. We have an Xmas BBQ 4th December where we will again promote the event here in Vic. After that I will be back on here to confirm numbers and start the bookings. Cheers
