Joining this forum is definitely one of my better decisions - you guys are all great! Fingers crossed we get this deal over the line tomorrow and the adventure can begin. We have even added a visit to the Nurburgring which will be great fun in a Z!

Well it seems a deal is done and this lovely looking car will be on my drive tomorrow, to be fettled ready for it's European adventure.
Janis (the seller) has let it be stolen from him in all honesty. Even to the extent of personally delivering it to my house from London!
I then have a bit of a deadline to get the issues fixed ready for Mark (new owner) to take it on his 'Top Gear' trip.
I'm loving the idea of this and the fact it kind of becomes a forum endeavour.
So chaps, when I inevitably ask for help, and possibly some spare parts, I'm hoping the forum spirit will continue and help us get this car on it's way to a date with the Spa circuit and hopefully a lap around it.
You have access to my parts bin as needed and let me know if I can help
Thanks mate. If it gets all software-y I'll be calling for certain.

That's great news.
Especially for Mark!
