Wow I bet that member is probably one of about a hand full at best. I hope they live outside of the major cities... The traffic in Manila for example is flat out horrendous. The last time I was in the Philippines I didn't see too many sport cars like the 370z.

last time i was there was 2005, somewhere downtown I saw 3 evo's: iirc it was a 4, 5, and a 6. I was drooling only because they're not available in the US.

There's quite a few actually, the owners just don't take them out very often. Because of the high taxes, Z owners don't take them out very often. It's usually a second car for them, the daily is either an Evo or 3-series or something similar.

You'll find older Skylines in Cebu and Davao because the taxes aren't as high. You'll see more R34's in Cebu than Manila.

BTW, I'm not getting involved in this, but y'all need to chill

Grey import from a dealer. Or in some cases, special order from Nissan. Special order from Nissan means a limited factory warranty.

Filipino here too. Born in Quezon City. Spent some time in Hawaii and went back to the Philippines when I was about 8 or 9 I think. Grew up in Parañaque. Joined the USAF in '86 and retired in '08. Still fluent in Tagalog but can't find anyone to talk to!

Mabuhay!

I went to one in DC a few years ago. My sister lived in Baltimore before she moved to NC. There is a pretty large group of Filipino's on Long Island and Queens. Some really good Filipino restaurants too including a Jolly Bee. I'm not sure about festivals, but we do have Filipino community parties about twice a year.

My dad cooks lechon in the backyard. Freaks people out the first time they see it, but parties wouldn't be complete without it.

I know. I was just giving you a hard time. Not sure how known outside of Cali Daly City is. But out here Daly City is known for it's Filipino population.

My 1st cousins are kind of the same way. 2 are half norweigian, 2 are half italian, 1's half irish and 2 others are half Iranian (although they refer to themselves as Persian). I was born in the Phillippines, but you know how it is with most of us, a lot of Spanish blood/heritage.

blacknismoZ · 09-16-2010, 01:16 PM

flipmode here!!! any flips in portland!

MarkeZ · 09-17-2010, 02:00 AM

WOW!! I learned something today!

I didn't know there was a Filipino connection with the 370z. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Texas when I was 15. That was 18 years ago. And in 2 1/2 weeks I will be going to the P.I. for some R&R. I can't wait! I'm happy to see that the P.I. is well represented in this forum. Mabuhay!!
