Last shot, it's too damn nice here to be inside. It was truly a great evening. Thanks to Takao for being a gracious host. The food was awesome. Great music. The highlight of the night was sitting with Jay, Michelle, Chris and his wife at dinner. Hard to measure up up to living legend status but Jay did not disappoint. He has some great stories and a few surprises which I'll defer to him to share.

Great to officially meet you ZB, nice seeing you again Zbart and Chris. All I can say is, when can we do it again?

Wow, good lookin pics. Does anyone want to give a Recap of the whole night? Like what cars were there, who raced who, etc? I doubt there could that much power/testostertone and no friendly spirited driving . Whos lambo was that? I know tako has a black one but the yellow one is new. Btw any pics of tako's blue ferrari?

Default Okay, Okay, I am up..

I am glad that so many people accepted our supposedly fake 20"s and got on the bandwagon.

Default Lookin' Good.

I enjoyed my time out here meeting with all these folks whohave something great in common. Most of the time I only might see one other Z on the road besides me so I felt like at least some of the attention was focused on someone other than me. I enjoyed my food & the company. I would have liked to enjoy my waitresses company more.. Oh well she wasn't tryin to hear me, at least after we payed the bill, it must have been the tip I left. OOps, sorry if thats someone's girl, she was tight. My the way, speaking of the tip, can anyone out here chip in on some gas money for me to get back to L.A.? After downpayments, Photoshopped 20's, & a Bazooka Tube, I ain't got no gas money left..

Cazzz,

Had you gotten there half an hour earlier lighting would have been perfect. Damn, how did you fit all that stuff in your car? You definitely a Z enthusiast for driving up here!

It was good to meet you Juicy, CBarrister, and Yuichi. Nice to put a face to your sign name.

Wow, the event was a success. Nice turnout.

Default Creative Packing

Thats all it was, from the days when I used to go do photoshoots in a '92 300ZX 2 seater & packing a couple of cameras, backdrops, backdrop stands, studio lights & light stands, light meters, film & an assistant out the t-tops, I have learned how to make it work before I got me a 1 seater SUV (THE MOBILE OFFICE). Yeah, we were trying to get there sooner, but we were depending on the Navigation & my potna put in North California instead of South California blvd, so when my broad (navigation was saying to go right & I was following my potna & he was turning left, I naturally thought the female was wrong, even tho she was a computer..

It was good putting a face to the replies & comments.

Its good to see where we all came from & that our taste in cars is improved.

Thanks, pointfivezero, it was really nice to meet you again too. And I agree about Jay: I always thought he seemed like a nice guy from his online persona, but meeting him in person really confirms that: Jay is a REALLY REALLY nice guy, and I was so pleased to have a chance to talk with him at dinner. This was a wonderful event.
