Just saw today’s edition of Car Crazy about an hour after listening to the podcast. They covered the 2010 Z car convention, and coincidentally, covered a 2000 Roadster for about 3 minutes. In reality, it’s not that big of a shock since I’ve seen this guy and his car at all of the regional Z shows…but never spoke to him.
After seeing the show, I am kicking myself for not going to the convention, especially since this may be the only year where they actually do it at Nissan. But since there are so many major Z shows in this area, you have to pick and choose between the half dozen major yearly shows in this area. And since I had already volunteered to work at ZDAYZ, I did not do both.
Actually I would have probably made it to the convention had I known for sure that Adam would be there. For that matter, I was surprised he didn’t go since his Paul Newman cars were there, not to mention being the largest collection of vintage Datsun / Nissan in history…and may never be duplicated since the convention may not come back to Nashville again.
Maybe “we” can talk him into making a appearance at ZDAYZ this year however. I will gladly let him run a few passes on the Dragon in my G35! If nothing else maybe he could show up for Z Nationals in ATL or the national convention this year at Savanna. For that matter, I would be glad to suggest our ZCCA club funding his trip to any of these. But then again, our $22 / year dues probably won’t cover that, lol. Heck, it barely covers our complementary subscription to Nissan Sport magazine.
