HAD A MECHANIC WHO ONLY -- ONLY WORKED ON THESE CARS - EVERY YEAR, I WOULD GO SEE HIM - BILL, PLEASE GO OVER MY LADY AND SEE WHAT SHE MIGHT NEED THIS YEAR - AND HE WAS RIGHT - SOMETIMES, MAYBE NEXT SHE WILL NEED ________________ BUT, I'LL WATCH IT. NEVER TOOK MY Z TO THE DEALER - BILL WAS THE GO-TO MECHANIC FOR THESE CARS - HE TOLD ME AFTER THE 1984'S CAME OUT - "YOU HAVE THE LAST YEAR OF Z-CARS THAT ARE EASY TO WORK ON" PiP/ FILM ON TOP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENTS UNDER THE NOTE PIC - film shots of my favorite ride.. 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo... with T- tops.. she had a very strong engine.. yearly physical by my man, Bill... he was right on the money.. knew her inside out and front to back... I was her 3rd owner.. she got a paint job that glowed (Larry said, "if I find out you run this through a car wash, I'll be on your door-step").. he's one of those guys (like Bill), who take great pride in their work.. Larry took her down to the metal.. took her wheels over to Tampa to had them re-done.. then, she got her interior fixed up.. loved this car.. my Fair Lady Z.. but, most good things do come to an end.. had a crash with an antique BMW motorcycle (with a side car).. the bike moved my Z so hard it bent the frame... ah, but she and I had a good time ! these film photos were taken after her paint job and wheels were done.. if I'd had a digital camera, there would be many more ! © All rights reserved

THE DAMAGED ROAD IS BEING REPAIRED/PATCHED - MUST SAY THEY ARE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB - THE DEVELOPER PAYS FOR THIS PER STATE OF NC LAW - HE ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR PAVING THE ENTIRE STREET - SINCE "HE DIDN'T DAMAGE THE ENTIRE ROAD" - PER A CITY EMPLOYEE WHO WAS BY CHECKING ON THE PROGRESS - I ASKED HIM "WHAT COMES AFTER THE 'PATCH JOB" - HE SAID IT WOULD GO ON THE CITY CALENDAR PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. - THE CITY WOULD PAVE OUR ROAD and YES, THE CITIZENS GET THE BILL. HE SAID, "I'M ONE OF THE LOWEST ON THE TOTEM POLE, BUT IF I WERE YOU - I'D TAKE THOSE PICTURES YOU'RE TAKING TO THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING". MIGHT NOT GET ANYWHERE, BUT IT WILL BE ON RCO0RD - PERIOD. NOW, FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THESE ON A VIDEO - THINK I'LL GIVE MY SON A CALL -- THAT IS RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY!
