I'll be heading out to Sonoma this afternoon. Just washed the Z yesterday so it's all nice and shiny ... just like the weather.

Prowling, growling & snarling, heading up Hwy 17, Santa Cruz, and then taking Hwy 1 n/b, my '05 Enthu 17" wh Z breezed through the area this morning, where the weather was perfect under 25 mile visibility. Hit a couple of pot holes, however, which is annoying to say the least. Not sure what CALTRANS or San Mateo Cnty is doing about it, but they should be elimintated--if you ask me. Heck, I pay enough vehicle registration fees to know. Any how, thanks for reading all this--rich

Sounds like lots of us were thinking the same.

Today's drive was great, went out to Bodega Bay, ate at the Tides. Picked up smoked salmon over by Duncan Mills. Then stopped at a bakery for fresh garlic ciabatta and got some local cheese and wine... all while driving thru some of the most beautiful places in the state

Saw two Z roadsters in a row on Hwy 1 too... two older couples on a Sunday drive.

Same idea here.. just rolled the windows down and drove around town. I saw three or four Zs and we all waved.. One was a new SB on a test drive from a local dealer.. I gave the driver a thumbs up.. hopefully she'll join the club!

I love my Z.

You didn't go for a drive yesterday, Walt? Boo hiss on you.. jk.

I was dissapointed in the article, it made Dave kinda sound like a meat head.. which he is far from. Oh well, yeah.. it will be worth it to buy on PPV for that fight alone (and Ortiz/Belfort), the rest of the card isn't too great.

I guess that counts, where the hell do you put 50 birds??

True. That reminds me, have you seen the new UFC reality show? It's on Spike TV. Randy Couture and Chuck Lidell each have a team of guys that want to be UFC fighters. It's been cheesy so far but hopefully it will get better.

I have a big 15 passenger van (460ci, doug Thorley headers, intake, Z Car Garage lic plate holder, etc........of course!) Seats are taken out. there were 12 geese in there too.

I can't handle those reality shows......even if they have a bunch of T & A. I tried watching a boxing one once and it was horrible. The guys were closing their eyes before they got hit.
NOBODY does that!! At least no one good. Can't close your eyes!

If you see a big white Ford van with blacked out grill, 4" exhaust outlets and making lots of race car noises...........that would be the DUCK VAN as the plates say.

SUSAN and I went to Los GatoZ it was by way of Calevaris Rd. WOW!!!! No straight anything (vary Mines Rd. or Morgan Territory Rd.) and a beautiful veiw of Res. from the top , then two more Rds. i'll save it for a ride.

Walt, do you take Swans or know someone that will . full grown or chicks. WE have1 1/2 yr old ones now and maybe 8-10 ++ chicks this spring. the golf course will get rid of any more & might want to get rid of a few they have now.
