Hi,

My name is Jim Smith and I have owned Z cars for 13 years or so. There is no car like the first generation Z in my opinion. Cant get them out of my blood.

Gday from down under Jim. Welcome to this forum .
Yes they get into your blood thats for sure.
We have owned our 240 for 11 years now and they are great little cars.
What car do you have at the moment. Picture?

Thanks for the welcome. At the moment I am driving a 2006 MKV GTI:



Thats me in the red GTI at Watkins Glen International Raceway this past summer.
The silver 260Z was sold to a nice guy. That is it in Sweden where it lives now, but thats exactly the way I sold it to him.

I have a lot more pics of my other Z's, but dont want to bore you to death.

It is a car that served its purpose while I try and decide what to do next in the world of Z cars. Its the first time in more than 13 years that I have not owned a Z.

I also make some drawings when I can:
