Actually you guys missed it, Rotospeed posted his car with a full moon on the last page, before Donnie posted his fine pics. Rotospeed also presented the next challenge. Here it is:

"frankinthread is back.



your car with your son/ daughter working on it."

Dave should be able to get this one, he's always got his kids working on his cars.

I have to object to the ***** comment as well. But I'm biased since I've owned 3 280ZXs and my dad owns a 260Z. lol.

I didn't mean to be submitting to the picture car challenge with those wedge car photos, only to show what a real wedge car looks like.

I love the datsun Z cars, but I have to say they look like a ***** to me, especially in side view.

Actually I think Datsun intended it that way, after all it was designed back in the late '60's.



Not much wedge action going on with those Z cars so I think we still need to meet the last challenge:

Your car next to a wedge car

You must have some weird looking wedding tackle there Ray. Probably should get someone to look at that for you.

Much as I love the old 240Z's, they were a pretty blatant design rip-off from the E-Type Jag - - though the 240Z looked better, in my book. The shorter hood and deeper windshield rake were big improvements.

Although I'm sure they drew from various designs, I remember reading that Datsun used the 250 GTO as an influence for their Z cars. Given how the Italian's are renoun romantics maybe there is something to Ray's observation.

OK, found old pics from 2003. Location: Ford World HQ lobby; Display for 2 weeks of employee cars from the "Other brands" of Ford at that time.

This is my old SE (about 5 cars ago).
