Other side of 30, closer to 40

Paul your car is so nice it should be on a calendar or something. Perhaps even a limited edition print.

Howard, that is a classic car. What year was that made, 1966 or so?

Paul, I wouldn't put anything in that car except maybe Sandra Dee.

There are a lot of mid 60s Peugots in Lima, beautiful cars. They are about the same size as Howard's car up there and are reminiscent of it except they also look a little like tiny Cadillacs and are just as nice.

It's a 1960 series 30, Brian.

This is a 1966 P130:

Erk..........

Thanks, Howard! As if I'll ever be able to drive it...

Bob, I wanted a Z soooo bad when I was in college, I think a late '70s 280Z went for about $4,000 then, way too much (lol). Penny wise and pound foolish.

Would you believe this is my 3rd one?

It's a '72... '82 280ZX turbo engine, 5spd, paid
$4,000 last year...

Thanks, Brian. That is a cool site. Must try and have a good look around (if I ever get off this site!!).

I wouldn't mind a new 350Z, Bob! Great raps from all the TV reviews - even the poms are impressed!! One of my female clients was given an arctic white one by her husband and she let me take it for a spin - stunning to drive! Seems to be a popular one for the female exec type over here.

I almost bought a 74 (260Z?) years ago, it was the only year they had made that model.

I understand there's quite a large 'Z' following in the States. I saw a show on Fox that was dedicated to them - there was a coucours somewhere that attracted over 400 of 'em. That may well be just a small gathering by US standards.

Huge. Really really big. All kinds of guys too... purists, hot-rodders, just people looking for something unique...

There's a national convention upstate in a few weeks... there will be literally hundreds there.

Haha Bob... my '74's still sitting in my father-in-law's garage waiting for the right suck...er, buyer! I was working on that one when I found the white '72, which incidentally, Howard, embarrassed the only 350Z to ever mess with me... that was fun!

Ya wanna car? Get a you beaut ute!!

Or a shaggin' wagon!!

basstard · Post by **basstard** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 1:20 pm

That's a Tardis. Not a car

A re-Tardis, methinks. Love the Ute, though. Nice profile.

But the Tardis is a shaggin' wagon, which is OK if you're 18 and...

Love the headlight covers on that "Z", Bob. Always thought it should have gotten them from the factory, but USA headlight laws prohibited them at the time.
