C & c 1/14/12 ?

AM check, next time.

Lance

Lance,

Call me or text me next time, I forgot to check Prime this morning. Virgil called at the last minute and said he could go. Virgil and I saw Joe and a friend of his out there. Joe brought his NSX with the new body kit, and Virgil brought his new modified '71 Datsun 240 Z hot rod (almost 300hp! :biggrin:) sorry we missed you! Let's try next week if you're available. That goes for you too Butch, good luck knocking out the flu!

Best regards to you both,

Tom

Re: Cars and Coffee 1/14/12

Another magical day @ C&C! Good to see Tom with his pristine red go cart and Joe with his widebody (the rear diffuser is oh so sweet!). Tom and I strolled around and gazed at some gorgeous restored beauties including a Packard (yr?) with stunning interior appointments and a '65 Vette with sidepipes. I got to fire up my newly acquired father-son project car that Tom described. I have had 3 Zs in the past, including a 1980 280ZX that was my ride in college and a stock '72 240Z museum piece with 68k orig. miles that I relinquished 7 yrs ago. I got bit by the Z bug again but wanted to do a modified early Z this time. Found a clean example in SoCal through a Z forum classified and drove her home 2 weeks ago. Former owner was a Z gearhead who owned 4 Zs in the past.... all at the same time! He installed the 3.1 stroker Rebello engine with headers and exhaust, and yes, it sounds mean:eek: .. a little loud for my taste but since it's not my DD, I won't do a resonator or glasspack for now. Enjoying this 40 year old classic, but trying to get used to the growing "to do" list. Here's a couple of intro pics.
Get better Butch, and hope to see the rest of the gang soon.:smile:

Nice New/Old car Virgil! Looks pristine as always. I still have yet to see Tom and Joe's new cars in person! I must make it out next weekend... If my car is done I will drive it down there. The past week I have been doing a little fuel system upgrade getting it ready to run on some good ol E85. Hopefully get it tuned sometime this week...I will let you guys know how it goes. :biggrin:

It has gotten a bit of a face lift though. Cheapo sideskirt and rear bumper had for $150, and a $400 paint job lol, I love track cars.

The paint is Gunmetal Flat Gray.

And this is the only video I have so far of drifting. Cell phone quality, and in car shakiness lol. I really need a GoPro.

Shane, You are the official drift king of the NSX club! I certainly hope that you took the baby out of the car seat before your run....thanks for the update on your toy! Btw, I hope you don't mind me sharing the photo you sent me of your first drift car...

Shane,

I like the look of the car! The flat gray paint makes the car look badass. :biggrin:

Hey Virgil and Lance, why don't we have a vintage Datto meet at C & C? The '71 240Z, '68 1600 roadster, and the '80 210 wagon; might be fun! :smile:
