Flying in on Monday from Phoenix..... Attending with other Arizona residents. By the way........ It's not a DRY heat there is it ?

Looks like it might have been Manteca Datsun. Found a license plate frame on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=280635396893

$40 is fine for those enthusiasts who are spending serious money (gas, hotel, food) just to get to the show from either out-of-state or more than just locally in the Orange County / LA area. That is why those of us driving long distance really want a 3 day event. Unfortunately many locals expect this show to be free and don't realize or care what the cost is to put these events on. As one pointed out we don't drive Ferrari's, but those who bitch about $40 never will.

Jim sold the car a few years back........... I believe a young lady from the San Jose CA area purchased the car.

Chris is completely correct. The 2012 host city will be confirmed in Savannah next year. It will be tough to top the event in Nashville; I am looking forward to a great event in Savannah; the "Valley of the Zun"....... ooops Sun aka Phoenix will definitely be asking to host the 25th Annual Z Car Convention in '12. If we held an event in winter not many could drive to our event. Remember this: IT'S A DRY HEAT Although the ambient temperature in October is about 78-85 F...... the humidity is only about 20-38%. Thanks. Gregg

Isn't the first car behind you a RX-7 ? ...................... congrats on being in front of the Mazda's

Welcome to the site Marty !!! Another club in the Phoenix area for over ten years is Desert Z Association............ (www.desertzassociation.com) Members of DZA have a wealth of knowledge and own Z's from 1970 to the 40th Anniversary 370Z. GTR's also.

Gary & Diane, We did the Tortilla Run / Lunch today. We had 22 Z's attend and we sure miss some of your Datsun's / Nissans, but we especially miss both of you. Take care. Gregg & Iris

I bought the black not chrome, original Nissan mirrors last year. Got mine from Troy at datsunrestore.com

For my '71, I just ordered some from Dean at www.datsunparts.com He mostly deals with Datsun roadsters.

'01 Mercedes ML320, '96 Z32 2+2 and '93 Z32 convertible ..... wife drives an Acura (not pictured)

Carl, Thanks for the info........... Many of us from Desert Z (Phoenix), Sin City Z (Las Vegas), Tucson Z Club, and others from Northern California are going to the Datsun Heritage Museum this Saturday. Our trip was planned as an extra event on Motorsport (MSA) week-end and having Mr. Shin Yoshikawa there will be a true bonus. Gregg Rogers Prez- Desert Z Assoc.

Still putting the '71 back together. ................ But will take the '93 convertible and '96 2+2.

Hi, Just got back from driving the 370Z from Phoenix to Houston in the "Follow the Z Rally." Attached is a reenactment with the 370Z's of another historic journey from nearly 40 years prior. In October of 1969, Datsun brought a pair of pre-production 240Z cars into the Phoenix area for testing. Their trip is immortalized in a photograph taken near Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, in front of the old Phoenix Greyhound Park. The picture shows the two Z test cars, with an early 510 chase vehicle, and Datsun personnel consulting a map during their trip through the Valley. Well, here we are, almost 40 years later, on the same exact corner, with three modern versions: Two 370Z's and a new 2009 Maxima. Enjoy ! Gregg Left to right the drivers of the 370Z's are Marty Huynh, Gregg Rogers, and Greg Childs. 2008 Photo and Maxima courtesy of Lenny Arnoth.

Thanks Carl !!!!!

Why not live in California, unlike Florida, at least they have four seasons: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot ............... I miss it ........ Back to the thread..... Carl, any other details, information, or contacts? I may fly over to LaLa to see this. Gregg

Have both.... 2 Z32's and a 240 !!!!! Restoring the '71 240Z .... and it is still the most fun to drive !!

Flying in from Phoenix to Orange County. This year couldn't get enough time off to drive. Gregg

Sorry, I don't have any additional information other than a link to Pinnacle's location. http://www.desertzassociation.com/pinnacle.shtml Gregg

If you are still here next week, Desert Z Association (DZA) has been invited to put on a car show by our sponsor, Pinnacle Nissan, in conjunction with their huge Nissan USA event on Wednesday, November 7th, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. This is our regular monthly meeting night. The feature car for this event will be the Nismo 350Z, which will be on display and available for test drives. If you won't be here next week, this week I am still putting my '71 920 gold240Z back together. PM ........... for location and phone. Gregg

The kit for $2000 is being purchased by a co-member in Desert Z Association (Phoenix,AZ). 2K seems high, but how many of the 5pcs kits are available TODAY in the US ??? It DOES come with the ZG headlights....which I have been for sale recently on E-bay for sale for $750.
