Jacksonville Z's have arrived!
 
Just returned from Jaxport here in Jacksonville, and yes, the Z's are in. I have seen them with my own eyes. I had planned on returning after work this afternoon and getting some pics, but don't think I'll be able to.

When I went over there a couple hours ago, I didn't have a clue where to go. I just followed the road, and started seeing imported cars all over. I ended up going through 2 security gates, which were unmanned at the time. First group of cars were a bunch of Kias. Soon after that, were the Mercedes (ton of ML's). At that point I wasn't sure if I was even close to being in the right place. THEN, in the distance, I spot a Maxima. I had to be close at the point. I continued down along the end of the parking lot, and started to see more and more Nissans. Maximas, Pathfinders & Altimas. I ended up coming to the end of the lot and had to make a 90 degree turn to follow the fence. Then, all of the suddan, there they were! All in an adjacent fenced in section of the parking lot. Black & silver touring models!! Red and Silverstone Track models! What a sight. The fenced in Z area was also left wide open. I could have walked right in and peeked in a few of your cars!! Sorry, I didn't get out to get a closer look, in fear of trespassing (although I saw no posted signs). And I also didn't have a camera with me either. I was literally 15 feet from an aweful lot of Z's.

Anyway, as I was leaving, I noticed the 1st security gate I had passed through was now manned, so I doubt I will be able to get back there for a 2nd chance for pictures. I am still actually surprised at the sparse security there.

So there you have it. The Z's have been confirmed here in Jax. Da*n I wish I would have ordered one now.

Now that is a loyal friend, going on the look out risking arrest without ordering a Z, thanks for the confirmation. Did they look like the options had been installed already? I guess the spoiler would be the only one you could see. BUT MAN!!!! How do you go on such a mission without a camera, haven't you learned from our in-house covert ops man Scafremon??? Always be ready!!! Again thanks for the info, mine should be in the lot :D :icon4: :icon04: :icon11: :icon21: :icon28: I love these icons!!!

MaxTR Aug 21, 2002 09:05 PM

How are you going to do this to me!?! lol. I can see your going to make me take a 2nd trip out there to get pics aren't you. Hmmmm......

"TO BE CONTINUED"

westpak Aug 21, 2002 09:09 PM

Thanks, it would be nice to have a picture of the Z's in the JAX port to go along with the picture of the Z's at the LA port. It would be appreciated but it's beyond the call of duty, if you can or do just be careful no need to risk jail time, although if you get the picture before capture we might get together the collection for bail!!!!:cool: Don't know nuzzing!!!

Thanks for the good news
 
It is good to know they are here. Now if mine was just here. Oh well hopefully I will get to see someone elses up close before mine is delivered in Nov.

Any Sunset enthusiasts out there? It could be mine....

Delivery due "by the end of the month" according to Autoway in Clearwater.

Excellent question. Lets me and GettinOnIt know what boat to follow when it enters the Hudson River. (Stay tuned for some of the most WACKED out pictures you've ever seen. Imagine a 16 foot bass boat following one of these monsters.)

What were you thinking?
 
Man, with all these Z's showing up at dealers, on the street and at the ports, I swear I don't leave my house without my digital camera by my side.

rickski Aug 22, 2002 12:05 AM

Name of Ship?????????
 
Ok...maybe this will be easier for someone in Jax to verify:

Is the ship's name "HUAL Asia"?


If so....my boat's in early!!!!!!! It was due in Jax on 8/25.

MaxTR Aug 22, 2002 01:05 AM

There were no boats around. Only a smaller tanker looking vessel, so I don't know the name of the ship. And I didn't see any ship while going over the Dames Point Bridge either (goes just about directly over Jaxport, similar to Vincent Thomas in Long Beach).

Also Gcinfl, i have actually been to Circuit City looking at cameras lately (yesterday) as it seems its about time for me to give in and get one. Soory folks, I wasn't able to make it back for pics.

possible florida delivery this weekend
 
My dealer in Lakeland, FL just called with my VIN JN1AZ34E83T000xxx. He said it has already been unloaded from a ship in Jacksonville and could be on a truck as early as tomorrow!!

Some Florida dealers notified of Friday delivery
 
Some dealers around Florida were notified today that some 350Zs have in fact arrived in Jacksonville. They will be trucked out Thursday and Friday morning to dealers around the state (and maybe elsewhere, I don't know). There should be plenty of pictures come Friday.

IF they get P.D.I.ed early enough it is possible you will see them on the road this weekend.

This is only the very first cars to arrive and they are NOT necessarily arriving in the order in which they were placed. They are arriving in order of build. There will probably be only one or two going to each dealer. But, don't panic the others are not far behind!

Good with the Bad
 
Well, my Z is in Jacksonville, soon to be trucked to the dealership in Tampa. The good part: they want to use my Z in a photo shoot for advertisements. The bad part: I herniated a disc in my back and may not be cleared to drive to get my Z for a while. That's atop the list of bad things.

300 mile drive each way - not so good for a bad back.

Still damn excited about getting my Z!

How do you know it's in Jax now? I know I'm beating a dead horse but...do you happen to know what the name of the ship it was on? What dealership in Tampa?

Sorry about your back Josh, but I'm not so far from Tampa that I'd be GLAD to pick up the car for you! Heck, I'll even drive it to your house! Anything to save your back :D

Good to know I have such good friends here...seriously, I've had a half-dozen offers from friends of mine here to pick up my Z and bring it back down here. My answer has been simple, "hell no."

If necessary, that pretty little Z will sit in the showroom, clean, behind ropes, awaiting my arrival.
