Par, did someone buy your Z yet?

How's the shop looking? Busy? I'm itching to get the old Z up there and have her media blasted and primed. Unfortunately, I still haven't completely stripped out the car. Stupid weather is preventing me from enjoying my time outside.

Not quite sure, but I may be back to visit at the end of this year. My orders drop this month for my next assignment, and I'll be taking leave in route with the wifey.

That paint is gorgeous. Another option for me.

Nope not yet people interested but no one has come through yet. Well you would want to have chris do that my shop would do that but i would rather have him get the work and you would be happier with the outcome.

Well that is kind of you my friend but I may be set. Chris told me I could take the r32 gtr up there if I helped him build an exhaust and change the fluids and tires and **** so that may be dope. Would be a bit weird trying to drive a rhd car on the track having never driven one before take a bit to get used to.

[QUOTE=sportbiketed;9725340]A couple pics from open practice at raceway:

Cool.. I've met Eric (green 240)... I saw the blue 350z at the MAP boost for boobies thing. Didn't get a chance to talk to the guy... has the exhaust I want and I had noticed he had some chassis braces going on... Great to see that setup is put on the track!

Some guy at the MAP thing was walking away from his car saying "Just as I thought, its mostly stock"... idiot... doesn't take much to have a fun drift day 350z.

I don't go cruising unless it's with my Z bruthas and a twisty road out of town.

Come visit if you're in town. Would be happy to have you guys over.

There have been many C&C days that have been like that. It definitely was not pleasant.

John called me as I was getting in my Z to leave.

That's what I meant. I wanted to take it to his shop for the work.

Holy ballz, I'm tired today. With the storm this morning and being up to make sure things weren't going to hell, I was up at 2am for a while.

Then I went to the gym for a decent workout, came home and started doing tons of yardwork and cleaning things up. Finally tackled the back yard and mowed, weeded, trimmed, cleaned, etc. I'm exhausted. Probably didn't help that I barely ate anything today until dinner.
