I don't plan to own a car out in NYC as there really is no use for me to have one. Huge sacrifice, I know.

Thanks, Mark. It fills my heart with joy to hear that the UK family recognizes me. I appreciate all the business that you guys have given us over the last few years and I hope that all of the UK owner's will continue their business with MyNISMO/Performance NISSAN of Duarte.

Ahh, Robin and Peter. Two more individuals that I consider apart of the elitist's of the crowd. It was always a pleasure speaking with you guys. Thanks for all the support you guys have shown us over the years and I hope that you guys will continue those efforts.

Wow, well first off I sure everyone agrees you have been a great part to the Z community Andy, from what you have done with your Z and the influence you have had on others and there cars. You have always lent a hand to people in our community including myself, and you will definitely be missed (and that freaking Volk Umbrella LOL)

I truly wish you the best of luck out in NYC, I'm sure you will concur whatever it is you plan on jumping into out there. Keep in touch

Taylor

Like Cheston has said, you thought outside of the box when it came to your Z and it served as an inspiration for me.

I want to sincerely thank you for the knowledge and industry insight you have given me in the time that I have worked with you. From smooth transactions for parts, the industry people you have introduced me to, and advice you have given, it has been an honor to have collaborated with you. I can honestly say that I would not have accomplished my goals without your help.

Thanks again, and good luck in all your endeavours my friend!

So are you moving to NYC to pursue a modelling carreer?

While I've moved on to the NSX 2 years ago, I still come here at least 1 or 2 times a day and still keep up with your threads and posts. You were a huge help to me in the Z years and can't thank you enough for that. Good luck on your new venture.

It truly is a very emotional day for me. I didn't realize how much of an attachment I have grown to this place, the people here and all the moments we have shared throughout the years.

Taylor - It was always a pleasure working with you. You always made my job easy so it was a no-brainer when it came to helping you. Your car has definitely came a long ways to where it is today and I am very proud of how your build turned out. Hope everything works out for you and your new girl. I know there was a brief moment of weakness that you experienced about a year ago but I'm glad to see that you are back on your feet and enjoying life again!

Edgar - You were like my baby, lol. To see you grow and watch the transition that your car went through was something that filled my heart with joy. I know I never said this but I am very proud of you and how you handled my advise. It definitely shows in the way you have built your car and the relationships that you have maintained from my introduction. I hope to see you continue in this scene because you definitely have a lot of potential to go far in this industry from being an end-user. I knew you would post that photo, lol.

Jimmy - Though our moment was very brief, I was always impressed with your build and I have no regrets of the super deep connections that I have given you. Just remember that when I need to cop some threads, LOL. I hope to see your Z finished off and featured in a magazine soon!

Ahh... Nooo Was hoping to deal with you in the future after I got my lil personal situation worked out. Well good luck on whatever you plan to do, hopefully whoever's taking over for you has as much presence as you did on this site. You'll be missed man.

And I sent you a pm on that wheel thing, think I'll have to eat the loss and just move on

Wow, I cannot picture Performance without you man. I know I don't visit often, but still... Whenever I was in the area and I drove past the Performance sign, I always thought, "Hey, I wonder if Andy's working today." Thanks for all the great memories, positive advice and crazy hook ups. My most memorable experience that I recall was the night before Autocrave where you were telling James, Alex, Vince and myself about the Nismo t-shirts...you know, the one with the zip ties...

You're going to do awesome in NYC. That place is Le...gen...wait for it...dary!!! Oh yeah, SUIT UP!!!

We'll miss yah bro.

Well, I'm not going to say BYE cause we are going to meet up!

NYC for the win!!!!

Call me if you need anything or any help. We are about 30 minutes away.

That's right, you don't need a car in the NYC. But if you get little itchy just call us and we go to the track.

Good Luck!

Andy,

You're an icon here on the west coast Automotive Aftermarket Community. You were the first and only contact I had back in the day, and helped me grow into building the car I wanted to build. You were the reason I had the exposure I had. You were the reason I met so many of the greatest guys in the industry now I call friends.

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you, sincerely, for everything that you had done for me. All the great times we've had when you've invited me to your home, or just to go get plastered somewhere. (). I don't mean to sound gay, but I'm going to miss you bro.

Best of luck in NYC. You have left a footprint here that no one can take away. Now you just need to place footprints all over the east coast.

I visit NYC quite a bit (more than I visit Socal), so let me know your contacts when you get there. We will definitely meet again.

Best of luck to you my friend.

Sincerely,

Alex


BRO HUG!!!
