Unhappy Leaving Los Angeles... :(

Dear fellow Z owners and Z friends in So Cal:

Many of you have asked me why I am selling my parts. To those, I have answered that I am selling my parts because I'm selling my car. Many others have asked me why I am selling my car... and what I would be getting next.

Unfortunately, I will not be getting anything next. I am leaving Los Angeles and going where I can not take my Z. I'm leaving behind all the import scenes and entering the JDM realm. Where I am going, only JDM cars are used for drifting (ha!).

I will remember all the canyon runs, buttonwillows, and pther fun events we had together! I will miss yall greatly.

But I shall return..... and buy a twin turbo Z, if it is out then!

---this does not mean I'm leaving the forum. I will still be around electronically but not physically---

hey SHO, it's a shame I never got to meet you. Tom Jones mentioned something about a possibility of a get together, basically like a farewell type of meet. But that was like 2 months ago. Anyways, best of luck in Japan.

You should bring your Z with you to Japan, LHD are uncommon there.

We have a 350Z run on the 10th. If you still have your car, you should just do a run for old times sake.

So you are going back to Zimbawe or Nigeria. I am assuming by your avatar flag.

Good luck and have fun.

Blue Bat: Hahaha… you’re luckier with your viper!
IF350Z: Sorry that we never got to meet! I’m sure we can do another meet prior to my deparature.
Joechia: huh!??
FLZ Boy: Trust me I’ve tried…. And it is too expensive and didn’t make any financial sense. You should go to track events man! Don’t be afraid of using your car!
Heezyo2o: Thanks for letting me know re: the run. I’ll see if I can.
Ed: Thanks man! Keep your Z till I return!
Zman23 (Jon): was good doing canyon runs with you! Sorry we couldn’t do the last Idlewild(SP?).
Islandsnow: I guess that was the only time I run into you! And it was in my old Acura TL! Hahaha. Man, you were one of the people that had the rare Z! I had to chase you down or tried to. J
Boneout: sorry we didn’t get to meet but maybe someday.
MarOner: I’ll be sure to have my own Yakuza Clan! You probably have a better chance of seeing Bow Wow here more after the Tokyo Drift shoot!
Wired: Go Bruins! Go back to Buttonwillow lately?
Gt3: I’ll try!
Charlie: umm… that’s the “Z” flag in the Naval dictionary.
SOCAL350: Thanks man!
Yorbri: yup… let me know if you need an authentic JPOP CD’s or JDORAMA DVD’s. I’m your source!
Sr. Rafael: thanks man…. Too bad we couldn’t go out for a drink or two.
