hey Pat-

r u still doing coverage for the NFL games?

 

I have done 15 weeks of NFL so far this season. I have 2 weeks to go. This weekend I'll be in Minneapolis where the high yesterday was - 3....that's MINUS THREE!!! Gonna freeze my Brembos off!

 

I lurked for a bit before registering in Sep `02. I have to look up an old photo of mine when I took delivery in October `02. Good to see some old familiar names in here.

 

Cheston ur car is way better stock :P

 

Wow nice reading some original members still around. My Predorder 03 is now at 159K miles and counting. I remember the day I got my Lemans and the only mods were a grounding kit in the 350z's early life. We have come along way since then. My production date on my Z is 09/02 so she is a early gem. I remember when we got The Run DVD and how many times I would watch it over and over again. Here is the oldest picture I can find in my archives of the Z which I think was taken around summer of 2003.

 

Ed ,

Same as mine . Must have been a good month

Hey everybody!!! Just checkin’ in. I am glad I caught this thread.

I was one of the first Zs in the New Orleans area. Picked up my Chrome Silver Touring in September of 2002. That car and this forum changed my life!

Great to see some of the old gang still hangin’ around.

 

This thread brings back great memories! I preordered in late Feb 2002. Waited out the longshoreman strike and finally took delivery in late November 2002. Chrome Silver. I swapped out my wheels for some G35 five spoke OEM's. In August of 07 I traded my 02 for the NISMO 350z (Red). Still have the NISMO. The only one in Louisville, KY.

Remember checking this board every day for info about the deliveries. Scafremon's antics had me laughing so hard the people in my office would ask what was going on!!!! Used to love seeing the guy with the "flag" post because he always had inside info. Mainly lurked but enjoyed the experience! Hi to all you original guys it was fun.

 

Yeah I rarely see any 03's with early production dates anymore.

 

I miss the old days... [sigh]

Anyhow, attached is the most recent picture of my '03 Enthusiast. After 6 years, it is time for an upgrade very soon...

~65k miles accumulated

 

Ed, Insane, Mat, Digi....what a reunion this is turning out to be

 

Anyone else have any other funny stories or pics of their preorder days ? Would love to hear from you here .

 

I really miss the old days when topics were Z related and comments weren't so juvenile.

Anyone remember the "Draw" thread. I couldn't stop laughing for days.

 

The quality of the threads has really gone done lately and it could only get worse.

 

What was it ?

 

I guess I may as well add myself. I'm still here occasionally, mostly in the OT forum.

I still have my Z, it's go some 65K miles and has been running really well. No tire feathering or anything.

I can't remember when I ordered but the car was delivered on my birthday, 9/16/2002.

I'm attaching a shot of when I took the car to Maine a year after I got it.

Then there's one from a Z meet in CT that same year. Anybody remember any details about this?

Finally, one taken from the Berlin Turnpike, again in CT.

I just recently bought a E93 M3. Great car, I really like it. I've been meaning to sell the Z, but it's kind of hard parting with it. I still have a smile on my face whenever I drive it.

 

Hey Rouxeny ,

You sound familiar ! You did belong to the New England 350Z club , didn't you?

Frankie
PS Where are you now ? Honolulu ?

 

I think he's referring to the drawings by Toad......

 

Yeah, it's been an interesting road, but I'm now here in Hawaii. Anybody hear from Victor? His wife was sick and I hope he ended up ok.
