Welcome Jonathan. You're moving to Australia and I want to move to Sweden after visiting your beautiful country last September. Good luck with your search for a Z. Haha. Well said.

Good question Nick. My choice would always be for an original, well kept example. I started searching for one of those and as much as I wanted an early chassis, I was adamant I wasn't in the game of collecting, speculating or investing in cars so the numbers, although important, were not going to dictate my decision. I passed on #86 & #63 because I firmly believed that originality in a drivable condition is more important than a number. I also wanted a car that I could use immediately (I started searching in Jul 2013) and not one I would have to rebuild over 7 years... until #19 was dangled in front of me like a mouldy carrot and I took a bite. What can you do huh?

It was just fortunate timing with the quarters. Someone approached Paul and he offered them to me. I don't know who it is but they had been sitting on them for a number of years, as I understand it, and they have my thanks for passing them on.

Paul has made some progress in between sitting in his Hako while making race-car noises. We're hoping it returns from the blasters with... well, just hoping it returns... NOS quarters fell in our lap...

Thanks for the effort everyone. Weather was perfect and so was the company. The kite was fun.

Just 2 minutes ago I was chuckling at the thought of having to cook the BBQ with plastic forks...

AU$550 for one tail light... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261727077056

What the what the? Good luck with the sale Mark. Hope the new owner continues with the theme.

I suspect Mike will be bringing his stunning example.

Make that 13 now! Arnold +2 will be joining us. Fruit for desert has been spoken for.

Congrats Mick! 3 assistant mechanics is enough for a proper racing team!

Challenge accepted!

Damn. I wonder if I can fit in that one... might have to try it. In that case I'll leave my puny one at home and bring something else.

So far we have 10 George - salad (1 green, 1 potato) & small esky Kylie Mike - bread/butter/sauces/drinks Andy - meat Kelly Offspring Pete - drinks/ice/esky Offspring Rudi - cutlery/esky Jackie If anyone else is joining you're welcome to bring - another salad - chips/dips - fruit for desert I don't know how large your esky is Pete but between yours, Rudis and my small one, we should have it covered. As for time, how does 11:30 sound? Plan for lunch around 12:30 to 1...? Weather looking perfect at this stage so keep those fingers crossed...

I've been reminded by a few people that they are still keen. Apologies for the lack of info, I've been distracted by the lazy bug lately. We need: -meat -bread rolls -salad -drinks (esky/ice) -chips/dips -cutlery (plates/forks/napkins) We also need to know how many people are coming, including partners, so that we can cater accordingly. Please confirm if you are coming and if you are bringing along friends or family members. If you can bring any of the above please also note that in your post so that we can avoid turning up with only sausages in our hands...

Happy to help if I can.

Enjoy the trip!

Happy with either but morning might be better heat wise.
