I live in Portland Oregon

[ZwolleY]

Portland area Z owners. I am glad Beandip is kicking what I thought was a dead horse. Some sort of gathering would be great. I would prefer east side if possible. I have been maintaining an email address list and could send out a message when details are set. Our forum in "Local Club Forums" would be a good place to communicate. The forum name is PDX-Z.:classic:

I just moved this thread to the PDX forum.

We live in Sandy Oregon. My name is Paul Ruschman, I’m 38, my lovely wife of 18 years, Krystin, is… (yeah right). We have been blessed with 3 incredible daughters, Meshaelyn 13, Lelaina 11, and Isabella Mae is 18 months. We are Rusch Motorsports specializing in custom Early Z cars.

Hmm... I'm 33, 0 kids, 0 wives, 0 girlfriends, 2 parrots, a '71 under restoration, a '75 parts car, 1 crotch rocket, and a house renovation project.

Wow, I wrote that 3 years ago. Now 36, still 0 kids, 0 wives, 0 girlfriends, 1 parrot, a '71 STILL under restoration, no more crotch-rocket... now it's a Harley, and a house project MOSTLY done. ha!!

Paul you dug up this old thread now I have to admit to 67 ! We have had a couple of gettogethers , in the past 3 years . Now that it is summer , Ha Ha if the sun starts shinning . Lets think of a cruse. One thing , there is a gathering at PIR on Wednesday early evening every week. Last week was the first of the year and there was at least 600 custom and/or rods there . Escanlon and I had the only two Z there . It was a great time , maybe more of the Z drivers will join us , it is lots of fun . Wed 4:00 till dark. cost $5.00 to cruse in and show your car and the money goes to the children of the community . Gary :laugh:

And just look for the BLINDINGLY BRIGHT Yellow Z (aka: Arrest Me! Yellow; or Honest Officer, I know ~nutting~ about that mile long tire scratch Yellow...)and you'll find Gary.

I'll be the subtle 920 Gold Z to the side (if we get there together, and I ~know~ about the aka's on this color, so let's not go there).

Oh, and due to ~some~ jealous members Gary and I won't have our hoods up. (You happy now? Bryan? Arne?)

I think we should have a salmonfly cruise. Too bad Gary will be fishing and not be able to make it this weekend. Of course, I don't think I can keep up with Paul's yellow car with 10" meats on all fours. Now that race car IS "arrest me yellow".

You know ES, you can leave your hood up, I'll watch it for you while you're away. Now what socket will fit that....

[EScanlon]

I think a 12mm for the hinges, but I only put up my hood when Gary puts his up. That way people can see a "Plain Vanilla" engine to his "Dryer's French Vanilla Limited Edition".

We got rained out today at PIR, BUT they gave out $5 coupons for Beaches to those of us that showed up and VIP Passes for next week. When FunZ1Z showed up after I did, the gal at the gate thought I was trying to score a second coupon and VIP Pass.

Where did all the Oregon People go???

I'm Michelle, and I'm in the Eugene/Springfield area, married almost 18 years, two kids, two dogs... and I've got a 280ZX 2x2 1979 that I concider to be in decent shape with only 151,000 miles on it.

The first owner was my Mom...who was afraid to drive it and it spent much of it's early years being driven on Sundays and special occasions...and waxed a lot! I've had it for the past 10 years and drive it daily. It's my baby, but she shows some age spots (sun "wear" interior plastics and vinyl) and really needs to be put back into show condition.
