I got there at the very end, I had to go to work today... But I finally got to sit in a Z, I only wish I had a flashlight too, I couldn't see anything all that well due to the museum lighting. I could've sat in the car forever, but then I came out of my blissful trance of "I'm finally sitting in a Z!" and I remembered to share with the people waiting behind me. (DAMN kindergarten). I guess all I can do now is wait for mine to make the trip from japan. But the wait just got a little harder.

Hehehe during the morning hours Nissan wasn't letting anyone sit inside the vehicle, and after the original guy was relieved (he was a *****) the second Nissan guy wasn't paying as close attention to people sitting inside. Apparently Exsilio was chillin in the driver's seat and someone ratted him out, whereupon he was rapidly evicted (and from what I hear, somewhat violently to boot) from the seat.

Excilio!!!, It figures! That guy strikes you as being a very "flowery" kind of guy but then he sneaks up on you and you see the real LIZARD that he really is!

I just ordered that exact print from www.Courtesynissan.com on Sat. Unfortunately, Mr. K's sig is not on it. I'll be framing it for my office. It's around $24.95 + shipping.

Well bgerber911, they must have rolled the admission price into our print cost because we paid $35.

Who is Mr. K? Probably a dumb question although I'm new to the whole Z Car phenom. This will be my first Z and Nissan product. Is he like the father of the original 240Z?

Great pictures - I ordered Daytona Blue and like it more every day.

Was that him in the "Dogs Like Trucks" commercials Nissan used to have? That was a cool commercial when that kid is in that room with all the legendary Nissans from the past.

I believe Mr.Katayama (hope I spelled that right) is 95 years old and is responsible for bringing Nissan (Datsun back then) to the US...
