We showed up in the afternoon today and I was impressed at all the cars. We drove down the highway and found a nice place by the river for the night. Tomorrow we will be there to have some more fun. What a perfect weekend for the show. Forecast says 74f for Sunday. That's a great temp for walking around a park looking at zed's. See you guys there!!

It was a nice day for a drive to Oregon, a little over three hours each way to Canby from Seattle, and the first real Hard Highway Test on the engine...(now at 2500 miles) Car ran perfectly, the show had a great turn-out, found some treasures at the swap meet, and met some cool folks. Thank You Z Community for a fun day.

Also realized I'm lusting after a 1600/2000 roadster...whew, they are sharp...

Awesome day. 120 miles down on my favorite backroad to Portland from Oly.

paralleling I5. I was parked in overflow as Bruce said and was glad about it as I was in the shade all day. Those roadsters were roasting in the sun. I picked up a DVD and some gaskets from Bruce (Ztheropy) I need to clean my carbs, the PO let it sit for too long.

Left about 4:00 and headed through the backroads on the east side of Mt St Helens. it turned into a 250 mile loop as the sign near the mountain said "road closed due to snow" and we had to reroute back to 5 and went back up the way we came down. Very fun loop though, all twistys just made for a long drive home.

Thanks DatsunsNW for putting that show on, It is great to talk to anyone there and know they all have an interest in common, The Datsun! (nissan)

Had a great time, Camped out with everyone in the back lot. Should have brought a bigger sleeping bag though (remember for next year)

Awesome weather, great people, serious case of Cotton Mouth due to not getting a break from answering questions about my 2 Z's, harness's, upgrades and all the available info on Classiczcars.com Went thru a lot of Monster Energy Drink and Arizona Tea (Sweat Tea)

Got a lot of Flack from NWN about my little Puppy's 4 little paws touching the grass at the fairgrounds..... It's not like he's a full grown dog, he's as big as a large rat. No bigger than a rolled up T-shirt, and we clean up after him. Couldn't leave him at home, Duh. So we had to carry "Z" around most of the time. Of all the things to bitch about.

Met a lot of Potential customers, sold one PLH and a ZXP. The rebuilt 260Z motor ran absolutely Awesome as suspected. But the best part for me was............

The great guys at ZTherapy. Steve installed and tuned my new set of ZT carbs onto the 70' 240Z. Tuned it the way I wanted it and sent me out for a test drive. I took Kurk (IBZINYA) along with me for the ride for a second opinion on the test.. The car accelerated further, faster and smoother than any other set-up I've ever had on any of my 5 Z's so far. Revved beautifully and dropped back down to a steady 750 RPM and never stumbled once. No backfires, minimal popping on decelleration, very smooth all around.

I can't thank Steve and Bruce enough for all there help in setting up the swap, tuning, installing, advice and all around great business to deal with.

Hope to see more of you next year and over the summer summer during other events.

I'm a little late in posting...been busy since the show, but what a great show! Met lots of cool cars and saw a lot of great people too! :laugh:

Thanks a BUNCH to Dave Irwin for helping me fix a brake light and blinker problem on my Z. I'm constantly amazed at your knowledge of these cars!

Lots of fun at the show! Lets do it again next year!
