New member in Denver


Twoelouie

Recommended Posts

As a new member, let me try and introduce myself. If my "handle" is one that you may have heard,then that tells me that you may have "vacationed" ,as a young man ,on a government "all paid vacation" in beautiful ,tropical Viet Nam. The term "Twoelouie" was Viet slang for a young American G.I. that had too many Viet girlfriends ( can one ever have "too many girlfriends" ??) As a matter of fact my 1971 Z car is my "survival present" from my year spent there! I am from Schenectady/Brooklyn N.Y. and now live in Denver, Co. I work for the govt with Job Corps and collect older cars ( 1967 Olds Cutlass ( convertible) ,1973 Chevy Caprice ( convertible) , 1983 Chevy Z28 "Crossfire" T-Top car and a 1979 Datsun F10 Sportwagon) ! I also coach Football ( defense). I think that you'll find me to be rather "plainspoken" person as I say what I feel and ( try to) feel as I say!

Actually,second owner. Was torn between a Z and an American Motors AMX! A friend at my base sold me his Z cause he was still into the BIG V8 with little or NO handling and brute power in a straight line, gave me a "deal I couldn't refuse" ! Six months later I also bought a 68 383 Road Runner ( beep beep),wish I still had that one too! Have always loved my Z, a big mans car ,handles well and is more than quick enough! +++ SUPER EASY to work on,everything is right there ! Mine's Orange too!

Welcome! I too just joined classic z after purchasing a 73 from Vegas, after 20 plus years without a Z. I agree they are a blast to drive and east to work on (except for electrical gremlins) I collect old cars also (1972 chevelle ss convertible, 1969 427 corvette,1953 chopped P/U, and best of all my new to me Z!) The long wait for spring when we live in the Rockies can be tough, but just makes the time we actually get to drive our cars that much more enjoyable.

Welcome to the group! If you ever make it up north (Loveland - Ft Collins) , the NoCo Z club would be happy to meet you. We do a variety of mountain / canyon cruises through the driving season, you're welcome to join along.

Cheers,

Glen
