Default 72nd Birthday Tomorrow

Haven't been on the board in a long while but I am still alive and kicking. I've had the 350Z for a little over 2 years and it has 26,000 miles on it. The car still runs great. Have had no problems with it. Still get a thrill every day when I take it out on the road.

This summer I plan to drive it to Monterey in August to see two very fancy car shows (Concours d'Elegance, Concorso Italiano) and attend some car auctions (look not buy). Its sort of a life time dream being taken there in a dream car. My wife will be in Europe and I will be on my own. Figured I might as well take the trip before I am too old.

Hope to keep the car for at least 10 years. There is nothing about the 370Z that I find the least bit tempting.

And so it goes............

Happy Bday!! I am sure you will enjoy Monterey and the Concours d'Elegance, though I have not heard of the Concorso Italiano sounds like the very finest cars from Italy. Maybe you can post up some pics later this summer.

Comprehensive reading is fundamental

"Hope to keep the car for at least 10 years. There is nothing about the 370Z that I find the least bit tempting."
