I'm selling a flag pole.

Also have a lot of wood, branches, twigs for anyone that wants stuff for bonfires.

Thanks....seems like a great group here!

Mine's a daily driver in the non-winter months. I live in Farmington and drive to St. Paul every day. I bought it last fall with 14k miles on it...I just went over 19k the other day.

Ive seen a few, but not many, other Z's around the area....a lemans sunset with a Fairlady badge, a daytona blue....seen both those a few time now. I also saw a black 370z on 42 just east of Cedar a couple of weeks ago.

On a side note...the wife and I went up to Burnsville Nissan the other day to check out the 40th Anniversary Edition 370Z. Not a bad looking car, but they want just under 40k for it They claimed it was the only one in the State right now.

I think that LS Z is Reger. He has a personalized plate and lives or works in Farmington.

I've seen a couple of Z34's around, so I highly doubt what the dealership is claiming. Heck, I saw a yellow one the other week driving on Co 42.

Speaking of which, I think we should have our next meet at Sonic. There's one in Bloomington just off 494 and Penn Ave. There's also one in Savage on Co 42.

Agreed, lot's of regular Z34's around...this one though is the 40th Anniversary Edition Z. It's supposedly limited to 1000 units in the US.

I didn't think I'd like the red leather...but it's actually quite nice, darker than it appears in the photos...I didn't care for the smoked wheel finish though. I did kind of like the exclusive “40th Quartz" paint color. All in all a nice car...just not worth the premium price for what you get imho

I seen a GTR heading south on HWY 10 coming home from work. He must have just bought it since the front was covered in plastic. I swear, I see more GTR's than 350z's.

Default Announcement!

If you guys are interested, I'd like to officially get the Twin Cities Z Club started and chartered. If we do this, we will pay dues, get recognized by Nissan Mag, members get a subscription, and we can use the dues to pay for events and meetings and such.

If you're interested, email me at smoothz at gmail and give me your first and last name, email addy, and cell phone #. I will keep a list of interested members and get started working on setting TCZC to be official.

Thanks!
