barby27 Posted November 30, 2007 Share #49 Posted November 30, 2007 OK as I see more Pacific NorthWesterners reply I thought I would jump on the wagon as well. So I am here in University Place Washington currently restoring a 77 280Z that I bought from some in Yakima that sat for too many years so now it is getting a ground up restoration. Have owned other 280Z's in the past as well. My brother does not subscribe to forums but he has his a 77 280Z and a 93 TT and recently sold his 72 240Z.77 280Zhttp://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e106/babry27/77%20Datsun%20Restoration/?start=all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted November 30, 2007 Share #51 Posted November 30, 2007 Let's not lose the fact that this thread is "I live in Portland Oregon" which would imply some connection with/to that city/state rather than the random individual bios that are showing up since the thread has been awakened. Michelle's question, after all, was "Where did all the Oregon people go???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted November 30, 2007 Share #52 Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks, Stephen. I was thinking about posting something similar, but hadn't got around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandip Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share #53 Posted November 30, 2007 Well since I started this thread back in 2003 plenty has changed. I have nearly finished my Z. as it it will ever be finished. There is an established Z car club with a growing membership of some really great people. From Oregon and SW Washington . We number 56 the last time I checked. We also have a non club, club, of about 15. We keep contact with one another via Email , list style. We try to gather for a beer and Pizza a couple of times a year as well as for a cruse or two. The Northwest Z membership own Z of all years where the non club club, the Z are almost all 240s. Maybe since this thread has been resurrected there may be renewed interest from others that were unaware of us. Now that Carl Beck's list will be going away soon , we all need to keep in contact with one another . This demise is going to leave a large hole in the Z community. Being part of a group definitely has its benefits . Gary :rambo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewiredz Posted December 6, 2007 Share #54 Posted December 6, 2007 where are you and what are you driving ?also the title says, i live in Portland Oregon how about you? doesn't sound too specific to that city/state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted December 6, 2007 Share #55 Posted December 6, 2007 Fair enough but the thread was dead until Michelle revived it with the question posed in the last line of my post-"Where did all the Oregon people go???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRock Posted December 6, 2007 Share #56 Posted December 6, 2007 Well I'd say I hail from Portland, OR*The asterik* is because it's actually Vancouver, WA. And right now I'm up at school in Bellingham, WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beandip Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share #58 Posted March 25, 2008 Well Ken welcome to the web site. You dusted off an old thread here. Since '03 much has happened to and with all of us. Once again it was good to read all the posts from way back. We miss some that are no longer with us. But we remember them and draw from there experience through the archives and doing searches for different things. Always good to see the names and read the comments. My Z has been ''finished'', for some time now. Mostly a maintenance thing , unless I am upgrading something. I am 69 now and still live in the Beaverton area. Married and now it has been 48 yrs.

soundmasterg Posted March 26, 2008 Share #59 Posted March 26, 2008 I guess you'll soon be able to add me to your list of locals Gary. I plan to join the club soon and attend some events. My '72 240Z is a ways off from being done and even from being reliable, but it will get there eventually. Thanks for the phone call and the help and sending Roge my way yesterday. Thought we had some wheels that would work out but they were for an Audi pattern instead. Hoping to find something tonight that will work. We'll see I guess.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
