We have several of those guys here-a Plastic surgeon with an original 250GTO(and lots of other nice cars) He is a collector, seriously into appearances but no knowledge of the mechanism, There is one traveling Ferrari mechanic in town.

By the way, when I was in high school my girlfriend's mother was his receptionist and I went to a race with him up at Roebling road. I was part of the pit crew. The car was a lightweight Formula D racer with a fiberglass body and a Renault engine. My duties on the pit crew involved important jobs like shoving a plastic milk crate under the car while the other guys were physically holding one end up in the air. This was all in the infield grass under an awning hanging off of an RV. Not exactly your NASCAR pit crew under the pressure of a stopwatch.

To bring things slightly back on topic, this was before I even had my 240Z or knew what one was for that matter. I did take a picture of a 280ZX driven by a guy named Jim Fitzgerald. I had no idea who he was but someone had mentioned that he raced with Paul Newman and I had heard that name.

Enrique,

Sorry I missed tagging the Z content, thanks for catching it for me!

You didn't miss it, the comment as written was perfect for ANY car club. I mean that.

The only reason I added the Z was to tie it in to Classic Z Cars and then have Mike post it on the Home Page right at the bottom of the Welcome to the Club picture.

I think it's a very succinct statement that emphasizes our "badges of honor" that we sometimes exhibit.

If you don't mind, I'm going to PM Mike about posting it.
