What did you do with your Z today

One of our instructors today was Thomas. He drove with A.M. in the Continental Tire Series at Leguna Seca in July, so we had something to talk about.

Here are a couple of shots from C&C yesterday and a link to my photobucket album of the day.

My friend Randy's Dinan tuned M6 with CF hood. This thing is sick!



One of my favorite cars of the event even as a replica...




Our new friends from Fredricksburg's immaculate BC roadster. It was great meeting you both!!!

I dunno how to describe the difference, other than it's definitely better.
huh, did you push down on the clutch pedal all the way while pulling it off?

I did. But then I only had one hand and I couldn't wrestle the pin out with my right hand crossing over my left. So I tightened a wrench on it and gave it a light tap with a hammer.

Also, THANK YOU again for the remote trigger suggestion. I LOVE my trigger for my D60.

Tonight, taking wife out to dinner in the Z... looking forward to a long drive.
Someday... I am going to get a PorterCable so I can do it. It is swirled really bad.

You are very welcome! Glad to help.
