WTH. Damn dude that sucks. I wish you could find the lowlifes that did that. Just no place for damaging someone elses property.

Hope you can make it to Zdayz next year. I already reserved my room:tup:

I have tried to get them to go to events such as Zdayz and Z Nationals but they just do not show any interest. That is why I joined BamaGZ as they are much more active. Only downfall is the majority are based out of Birmingham which isn't that far but still not right down the street.

Right now I do believe it is just us two leaving out of Huntsville unless someone else chimes in. I am not sure if we will head down to Birmingham to link up with the BamaGZ crew early AM that Friday. Or take a more direct route through Gadsden. Those details will be finalized in the upcoming weeks.

*********************
Also do not forget that on November 2nd their will be a cruise up to the Nashville C&C for those interested let me know.


I still plan on joining the C&C.


*edit*
Also, I don't really know why I'm not involved more with the Z crowd and such [Not the Huntsville thing]. I think it's mainly a money/time thing... And the fact my car is basically stock and not in the most pristine condition. Though I wouldn't mind taking pictures at an event... but not like anyone would look at my pictures anyways... Haha.

Rgr that. Not singling any one person out. Everyone has their daily lives to tend to and the time they can commit to such events differ. But there are some who complain when pictures are posted of said events from attendees and they ask why they werent invited. In reality I went out personally to a handful local meets to try and draw interest. All I got was crickets. It is what it is. Anyone is welcome to join any events I plan. Just trying to save others the effort of going down a dead end road so to speak.

I have no excuse not to be at next years. If I have a house by them I could let a
Couple Zs use the driveway for a few days. I'm coming down to Gadsden sometime soon so if you guys make a run at any of the b ham stuff let me know. Zbro has my number I think.

Ps. My car is bristling with go pros on the inside. They have keyed it twice while at work. I dare them to do it again.

speedfreek 09-16-2013 10:22 PM

Hope you catch them.

The only thing I have planned over the next few months is Z Nats and the cruise up to the C&C in Nashville on Nov. 2. Welcome to join us. If I end up going down to bham for any functions I will be sure to post up.

MadMan 09-17-2013 09:48 AM

Wish I could make the Nashville run, but I can't.
U14 Girls Soccer State Cup Weekend.
*sigh*

speedfreek 09-25-2013 03:29 PM

Z Nationals is just a little over a week out. :excited: If you haven't made plans to attend I encourage you to do so.... if you can. Let me know if you do decide to go and you can caravan down with me and Madman. :driving:

speedfreek 10-14-2013 02:53 PM

Well Z Nationals was a blast. Had a great time tracking the Z at Barber. Learned alot. Probably going to go to a more track oriented route with the car.

speedfreek 10-25-2013 12:37 PM

Who all is going to the last Nashville Cars n Coffee of 2013 next Saturday Nov. 2? If you want to cruise up together let me know. It will be an early AM roll call on a Saturday. Departure time roughly 7am.

Minira 09-04-2014 01:18 PM

So this little thread seems old but just throwing out a big :hello:
I live/work in huntsville. Also ride sportbikes with the TVSC out of Huntsville on sunday mornings. I finally got myself a 370nismo last week. Looking to getting out with some other Z owners in town.

speedfreek 09-04-2014 01:38 PM

:hello: I'm still here.

More Z enthusiasts are always welcome! Congrats on picking up the Nismo. I just sold my sport bike this time last year. No one I knew rode anymore and needed a daily. I miss my bike though.

But back to the Z stuff. The locals have turned down there monthly dinner/parking lot meet to a more seasonal approach. Spring/Summer/Fall. The Fall meet is coming up on Sept. 19 at 7:30pm and will be at the Five Guys in Jones Valley. The Facebook group is North Alabama Nissan. Not much chatter on there other than 240sx talk and getting invited to meets mentioned above. I am not sure if I will make it to this one.

The BamaGZ group mostly out of Birmingham is the biggest in the state and goes to Zdayz and Z Nationals. They just did a summer BBQ 2 weeks ago. Facebook group is Bama GZ-R.

Speaking of Z Nationals it is one of the best Z enthusiasts events to attend. Track day/show day/dyno/awards...etc. Something for everyone and plenty of Z's and G's and a few GTR's to look at. It is Oct 10-11. If interested register soon and book a room as they are filling up fast.

Hopefully catch you around town or at one of the events.

ZBro16 09-05-2014 02:53 PM

I may be making a return to the Huntsville area. Keeping my fingers crossed throughout this week.

speedfreek 09-05-2014 03:14 PM

Hell yea man! We will have throw a welcome home party on your behalf.

cjwsrt6 09-26-2014 08:07 PM

Anyone in the central Alabama area? Been autocross'ing for a few years, just got me a new car to throw around, anyone care to join?

ZBro16 09-30-2014 10:43 AM

I will be at the Providence meet tomorrow if anyone else is interested in meeting up and getting food, etc.

speedfreek 09-30-2014 06:40 PM

I would but I am out of town for work.

Datsun240Z71 10-01-2014 06:40 AM

If you want to get up early this Saturday... You should come up to Franklin, TN Cars and Coffee this Saturday, 10/4 for EXOTIC CAR SATURDAY. It's at the Carmike Cinema just off I-65 at Cool Springs Blvd. west exit. We've been getting 400 plus cars for this and weather looks perfect. Starts at 8 am until 10 or so. Even Darrell Waltrip showed up last month.

There's a big car show at Cool Springs Galleria mall about a mile away afterwards put on by Battlefield Region AACA. Usually draws 250 cars plus.

ZBro16 10-01-2014 08:39 AM

I should be there anyway as I have to travel back to TN this weekend to get more stuff from my apartment.

I'll look for you Randy! I have a PW '13 Z with black headlights.

Wish I could make it to the C&C but its the final weekend of prep before the AMP track day for Z Nats. Front suspension is still off the car. Probably make it up for the last of the year November one.

Partially. haha. Should be 100% in the next couple weeks.

speedfreek 10-01-2014 08:56 AM

Welcome back! :tiphat:

Datsun240Z71 10-01-2014 08:57 AM

I have to be at the Cool Springs mall show to help with set up. Cannot be at Cars and Coffee.

If you want to see possibly the best 240Z (not mine) in the country. .. come by afterwards to the mall show.

Welcome:tiphat:

I don't believe I've seen it. As a matter of fact it's been a minute since I've seen a Nismo 370 around HSV. I've got my Z out today. I'll keep an eye out.

Minira 11-25-2014 07:58 PM

Mine is black and I'm usually acting a fool when I get to go under an overpass or through parking decks:rofl2:

RicerX 12-03-2014 08:35 AM

So I'm in town and there's a Providence meet tonight. Anyone going?

I'm TDY. Haven't been to a Providence meet since July. I missed a couple months back when the RWB Porsche was there.

speedfreek 12-17-2014 08:47 AM

Minira, I believe I spotted you this morning turning right on 72 from Slaughter. The drought of not seeing any Nismo's in town is over. :tup:

MadMan 01-30-2015 08:46 AM

TAC (Twickenham Auto Club) is putting on a Road Rally Feb. 15
http://www.teamtac.org/e107/e107_plu...opic.php?90116
Sounds kinda like a Time, Speed, Distance, Only NOT a TSD.
More just for fun.
And did I mention free?
Might be fun to see a few Zed's out there.

Cars&Coffee Franklin 3/7/15
 
Any Z cars wanna make the drive up Saturday morning to Cars&Coffee Franklin, TN? The Middle TN Z club was talking about getting a group of Zs together to honor Mr. K (the father of the 240Z) which recently passed away at the young age of 105.

I usually leave the Huntsville area by 6:45am to make it up there before the lot gets packed. Would be nice to show some Z presence from the Huntsville area.

Datsun240Z71 03-02-2015 07:04 AM

Nissan is working to get several cars from their Heritage Collection there this Saturday, March 7, including Mr. K's yellow 260Z 2+2 which was at my friend's shop (Crawford Z Car Service) last week getting worked on so it could be driven there.

We hope to have a good turnout of Zs from our club as noted above also.

speedfreek 03-02-2015 08:34 AM

If I get my Z back together in time I would definitely go.

RicerX 03-02-2015 02:47 PM

this is in the works for me - I shall do my best, especially since it will be a Mr. K themed event.

Datsun240Z71 03-03-2015 06:52 AM

Nissan is promoting this at their manufacturing facilities in middle Tennessee (Smyrna and Decherd)and at corporate office in Franklin through their internal messaging system. One of our members copied me on it yesterday.

Will be sunny and cold Sat. morning but turnout should be good nonetheless.

RicerX 03-03-2015 09:55 AM

I'm officially going to this. Let me know if any of you guys want to meet to make the drive up. Otherwise, I will just meet you guys there at some point and we can try to get a few spots together.
