Saying Goodbye

[CANDYBLUE2+2]

Iv'e posted in Body and Paint on a few occasions and have had the chance to meet quite a few really good people in the process.

Iv'e also owned my 260 for just over 20 years. Today I said goodebye to my old girl for the last time. We had alot of good as well as bad times, and I'll remember them all fondly.

You see, I had an offer I just couldn't refuse and the young man who purchased her today had the same look in his eyes I must of had 20 years ago when I first laid my eyes on her. He's a Military Man just like I was back then.

Theres only one catch to this story. In four months, he'll be putting her on a ship to take back to his home country of Kuwait. He's a Helicopter mechanic and seems like he'll be very good to my old girl.

Today I said goodbye to my 260, maybe tommorow I'll say hello to a 350? We'll wait and see. Till then, I'll keep my eyes on the forums and say what needs to be said if I can. Take Care Everyone, Z Ya All Later, John

Don't say "Good-Bye" ... say "See you later!"

Hasta Luego...

I see you are in Newport News, I bought my '78 Z new there when I was stationed at Langley AFB. Go down to the local Nissan dealer and take a test drive in a 350Z to help you get over the blues. Catch you on the flip side, best of luck.

Thanks for all the kind words. You are all truly good Z friends. I will someday soon take up that Test Drive. I have driven Todd Wagners 350 and found it to be quite exhilerating.

I just have a hard time getting past those barn door handles. I hope Nissan does something about that soon.

As for a next project, age is catching up and these bones aren't bending as well as I'd like them. So I'm not sure about another project just now.

Hang in there, time will tell. Till then, Z Ya, John
