Yeah, just giving you a rash. Hadn't seen any updates on that amazing machine of yours in a while. Good to have you back.

S'far as that stupid question, it just popped into my head. It's a record player (AKA turntable) for LPs (vinyl to all of you young'uns who don't know what an "LP" is, laff.); it spins at 33-1/3 rpm (as well as 45 and 78 rpm). Why that appeared into my head is, well, a mystery that if solved could explain a lot about me. Hahahahahaaaaa......

Yeah Mic I have approx. 200 vinyl LPs that I've collected since the mid sixties; mostly rock, some very much classics! My nieces/nephews think it's way cool to have me show how to handle an LP, clean it and crank it up on my Klipsch speakers haha! I've let them try it for themselves.

Just hit 70K miles last week and the "07 is running very strong and way quick. A few changes since I bought it new in "07, but still shiny clean inside and out. I'll get some pics of interior, engine bay. Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

Glad to see your post!

I pm'ed Blue a few months ago asking if he wanted to sell. I had a 350z in '03 but had to sell due to divorce and needed a back seat for my child. Got a G and still have it.In fact I had Hal build the motor and install Greddy kit with supporting mods. Holy hell at the cost of all that but....

The HR in San Marino blue......and so well done.

Thank you eZg! I had read your pm message some time ago and I appreciate the interest. Due to some health issues that limit me physically so much, I can imagine that possibly next Spring/Summer I will need to evaluate my situation and if I will keep the Z or not. I bought it from the dealer in '07 and now it is a very stand out, unique car; nicest Z I've seen in this city that has a huge sports car club/scene. I get compliments almost every time I drive it, plus it is fast and can flat out "rip" if I want. Just hit 70K miles. Will see how it goes and I would surely post up on this site If I get to that point.

Dang. You could eat off that engine! It's super rare to see a 350z in good condition these days, so I commend you on keeping a modern classic in such good shape. Sorry to hear about your health concerns, but I hope you can hold on to this beauty for as long as possible.

Thanks! Has the bumper back on it now so it's pretty unassuming, but it does alright. 411whp on low boost and 505 turned up. Plenty of fun for a street car that only gets driven occasionally.
