Default It's been a year!

Well, it was one year ago today, August 27th, that I took delivery of my Silverstone Performance 350Z.

Since then, I've made several minor mods to my Z, run a few track days at 3 different tracks, made some good friends, gone on lots of mountain drives, and racked up 15,000 miles. Here's hoping for many more such years with my 350Z.

MY birthday is tomorrow. Have the Z in the shop for a list of problems. Decided to get it all at one time.

1. Driver window roll up and back down (2nd time in)
2. Cracking sound from right rear axle
3. Window Streaks
4. Pull to the right. (delayed due to no compression rod)
5. Electrical Bug in radio (turn signal came on while reducing volume)
6. Vibration in tranny at high revs

Hope to have her back tonight looking fresh and clean like when she was born!!

My Z arrived at the dealership on 8/31. I "paid" for it on 9/6.

Now, it's almost one year and 1,860 glorious miles later!

My Z is 9.5 months old and I have 13,300 miles on it. It is still a blast.I had the amplifier and the front tires replaced by Nissan.

Wow, I thought my 5K+ miles since the 1st of October was low. Tim, that Z is in pristine condition!

Happy Birthday! I had mine in the shop yesterday for the seat fraying TSB and a broken driver-side window motor. Hell of a way to spend the first day of year 2, but at least the stuff is getting taken care of.

Greetings Gary --- My Z turns one on September 4th. About 11,900 miles and zero troubles. Leg room for me is an issue, but I knew that going in.

BTW Gary, it has been a kick doing our get-togethers and burning up the Colorado mountains. Our Colorado gang [minus what's his name in blue] know how to get it done on some of the best mountain roads this country has to offer.

Happy Birthday to your Z, Bob!

Yeah, it's been a good year. Hopefully we'll be able to continue the gatherings during the winter when the mountain roads get sloppy. There may be a few happy hours, track days, go-kart sessions, etc that we'll have to schedule over the next few months.
