Mike theres money falling out of the sky when your working with a respected name like ULC. I have been trained by the Marine Corps and everyone wants me because Im already trained. Ive been to Federal testing labs and manufacturer site visits etc and this company wins hands down. The CEO was the Entrepreneur of the year last year as you can see on thier site. He is a class act as well. ALL of the workers there are always excited etc and it just seems like a Alice in Wonderland scene. As far as conflict of interest. I don't think so. Part time is part time and all I need is legitimate leads that want bids on furnishings. After I talk to them, the CEO will step in depending on the contract and when he comes to town everybody remembers. I would have liked to tbe the guy that landed Disney. 290 million X 3% = $8.7 million in the pocket. Well most of the deals range from $500,000 to 3 to 5 million or so, but when you get a few of those it creates momentum and free advertising as well as refferals. Let me know Mike as I am building a team across the states to take this thing over. Even though these guys are good, thier sales reps are afraid of the military.......man its wide open. Let me know how you want tp proceed and Ill work with you on it. If we ever come to your side of the woods we will meet and Ill introduce you to the CEO over dinner or something. By the way if your independent you don't have to worry about followup or anything like that. You will be registered as Independent and then get the 3% cut once the install is complete and the contract is paid. This will come from the company. Until next time!

Ok, since we are on the subject of jobs, I have been offered a miracle as well. I have been the purchasing agent for the Marine Corps for the past three years spending over 15 million dollars for Whole Room furniture. I buy barracks furniture and lounge furniture for the quality of life upgrades of the military. Well I just got an offer to be the military rep for the entire U.S. representing University Loft Company. http://www.universityloft.com
Well, they also cover Universitys, Hotels, developments, etc. They just closed a 290 million dollar deal at Disney. Well I am on salary plus 2% commission on all contracts. As we all know the govt has money to spend especially the military. I am told I can build a team around the nation as I please so heres the deal....
Anyone interested in sales to the govt or any other entity to include retail stores dealing with what the above website has to offer, let me know. I can guarentee you 3% of any contract you give me the lead on. You don't even have to close it, I will. I will be starting in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisianna hitting all the military bases to start. I will also have seperate vendors for bedding, drapery, and am currently looking for a good company that deals with Office furniture. My friend just retired and is working with ULC and he has already made over $200,000. This company is a class act as well and the potential is enormous. PLease if anyone has any contacts dealing with the purchase of these types of items, we need to talk. We can outbid anyone and provide unmatched service. During my job with the Marine Corps I got to see many other companies come and kiss my ass to get the business. I also got to see who was full of crap and who was not. ULC is the best in this business and every company needs furniture. My offer is open to anyone who wants to make some serious cash by setting up appointments for me in your area no matter where you are. Some hints for the military guys, All bases have a Regional Contracting Office, Base billeting, and Family Housing. These are usually the buyers and they are the ones you need to talk to. Developments are even a bigger deal. Of coarse we can talk more when I get back to the states. The offer stands forever, because I am gonna make mine anyway. I would love to help my fellow Zers get that extra cash you deserve by helping each other. Any takers just PM me and I will discuss my plan. I start Feb 2004 but can strategize now! Who do you know?
Oh good find Mike!

Yippee!!!! Ok, its too good to be true. I am on the way to the hobby shop Saturday morning to install my solid diff mount and tighten up the rear end bolts etc and a light green Skyline GTR R34 with an older Japanese guy pulls up beside me. He looks up and down my car and gives me the thumbs up. Out of respect I do the same to him. Theres no doubt that the GTR is a dream car. He proceeds and starts getting on it and backing down. I got a rush of adrenelene (sp) and waited for him to do it again. I got about two car lengths behind him and when he hit it again, so did I. When I punched it I immediately started gaining on him quick. Man I was about peeing my pants again from the excitement. He then let me in front and he stayed right on butt while we were driving. The next light we stopped and he was behind me. When the light turned green I took off slowly in 1st and then about 20MPH or so I floored it and so did he. I pulled on him in first and when I hit second I instantly plunged another 3 to 5 car lengths. Man this automatic is the bomb over here. No hestitation between shifts like the standards. When you shift it goes, no time lapse what so ever. After that he didnt come beside me or even get that close to me anymore. After that I decided to turn around and I honked the horn and waved. He gave me the thumbs up and went on. He was cool about it but probably in shock that a 30 year old Z that probably used to be his dream car beat him hands down. This Z is still very respected over here as it is an antique and one of the best cars Japan has ever made. Man its such a rush to see the great great great grandfather of Zs still kickin the baby's butt. I know I have a N/A V8, but he has a twin turbo RB26. No replacement for displacement baby! Just imagine what would happen if I put two T56 turbos on the ole Zette!!! I wonder what would happen.....
That makes me 3 and 0!
-
Oh for crying out loud!!!!!!
-
By the way, is there a strictly V8Z club in Texas? Just wondering...
-
John, your Z looks awesome....damn I wish you guys were here, we could start our own clan!!!
-
I will be going to San Angelo Tx! Wall race way is 10 miles away!

OK, I cant believe it but I was challenged twice while going to the auto hobby shop to install my roll cage. I put the temp tags on the ole corzette (considered an import because of the V8 thing) and proceed south to Camp Foster to install my rollcage at the auto hobby shop, when I hear a high revving WHOOOSH beside me. I am stopped at the red light and this Japanese guy and his soda drinking girlfriend (smiling) looks over and gives me the thumbs up and motions to me to race with thier hands. I rev my engine and the driver seem a little surprised as I am sure he never has heard the sound of perfection before. Just before the light tuns green A skyline GTR pulls up behind me and then a Hachi Roku and a turgboed Aristo (Lexus), dont know if it was built or not but sure was ricey. Anyway it seemed like they were a clan or something, you know like Boso Zoku or something. Anyway just before the light turned green the guy in the Soarer started revving the piss out out his engine in preparation. When the light tuned green I went for it....The car shot out like a champ, I got the notorious head snapping action and WHOOOSH I was gone!!!! I looked in my rear view and I saw the skyline GTR behind me about 100 feet. I stopped at the next light and the GTR pulls beside me. The soarer must have pulled off because I couldnt see him. The others were behind me. The GTR had tinted windows and then rolls down his window and motions to go on the light. There was light traffic where we were (near Kuwae if your familiar with Okinawa). He starts revving his twin turboed RB26 and when the light turned green we both nailed it. Well at first I thought the ole V8 import was in trouble
because he got me off the line by about a 1/2 car length (damn 4 wheel drive), BUT when I hit second I immediately pulled a car and a half on him and then I hit third and I was gone, maybe 15 car lengths.... I was so excited I about peed my pants. I ran out of road soon and I was going over 100MPH (not a good thing on highway 58 ooops....The next light all the cars pull up and ask me to go to A&W. I go and park and all the Japanese guys want to see my engine. They were cool and in awe and one asks me "What kind of Turbo is that (pointing to my Holley 750 Double Pumper). I almost laughed but told him it was a carbeurator not a turbo. We talked for about an hour and they were cool about it. Oh I speak Japanese by the way. I am sure the GTR wasnt built to the max but it was fast off the line. Gotta love good ole American non turboed muscle though! For now I am 2 and 0 for racing here on the rock. The guys girlfriend was really smiling at me... -
Kevin, I have the R200 3.54 rear soon to be CV upgraded and rear disked. I drive it with temp tags over here about twice a month. I am still getting used to it and it scares me with excitement. I have nittos in the rear 275 50 15s so I really hook up well. So well the first time I got on it it broke my steel diff straps I had made. I now have the solid diff mount to take care of that. It feels like I am being shot out of a cannon. According to the numbers I should easily be in the 11s down the strip. I will find out soon as I am coming back to the states for good next month!!!! I am retiring from the corps! Cant wait to race in good ole Texas!!!! Im sure we will meet someday!!!! Texas rocks!

Also if you have info in Japan as to where to call, my wife is Japanese. I will only be in Japan for another 6 weeks though. I will try to help but don't promise what the results will be......

Well, I have entered yet another evolution involving the never ending money pit. I just ordered a SIX POINT cage here in Japan for $548.00 and it will be here in 2 weeks! Im stoked about that but.....I also located and bought the 280ZXT CV axles for the rear swap!!!!! Im gonna explode from excitement. Does it get any better you ask? Well YES!!!! I just ordered the rear disk upgrade kit from ROSS!!!!!! Man all I need now is some 240Z flanges to send to Ross. I know I should upgrade to the 280 stubs but I cant do it right now. I want this to be a direct bolt in without needing any special tools. Does anyone have access to a pair of 240 axles that may have done the upgrade earlier? Other than that I am stoked. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. After that all I need is the Tranny upgrade to the Raptor Stage III and Im set! (Until something breaks) But with all the upgrades hopefully it wont!!!!! All this in just 2 years and 3 months.....A nice gift to myself before retirement! Thanks for listening! Im fricken stoked...Im coming home!!!! Im retiring!!!!! Im gonna be a stinkin civilian!!!!! Im gonna race my Z!!!!!!! Texas never looked better!!!!!! Man sorry to freak out but IM HOMEWARD BOUND fellow Zers!!!!!!! OOHH FRICKEN RAHHH!!!! Any DevilDogs out there? Semper Fi my brothers!!!!

Damon, congrats! Lots of positions overseas but don't know much about the states yet. If theres a base near you I would go to the HRO office and see what they offer. Im not looking for anything high paying, just enough to take care of my Z hobby and a little extra for this and that. The wife has a career as well so it helps alot. Where are you located? What was your job in the military? If your into military furniture sales via govt contracts, I can refer you to an east coast rep for University Loft Company http://www.universityloft.com Just thought I would throw that out there. Sales are not for everyone but this is great pay if hired. Semper Fi...

Man, what a group. Thanks for the kind words guys. It really means alot to me to hear that I am appreciated. I sense that there may be some old dogs out there as well? I guess once a Marine always a Marine Z-Dreamer but all I have in Angelo is an AirForce base. Oh well I guess itll do. ZFan I am 6 hours south of you but close enough. I just don't think I can make it up there with out puttin her on the trailer (the Z that is). Gas usage is rediculous but fun
Let me know when you get your AFRs. By the way I just got a 6 point cage for $548 here in Oki. Its a bolt in ready to go with pads. Thats actually cheap for here but Id rather have it before I come back. I also located some CV axles and 280 stubs so when I get back I have to send them to Ross to get the adapters. I can't wait. Things are getting closer to being almost complete. The last thing is the rear disk upgrade....then theres that tranny replacement....Im thinking of the Raptor Stage III. Any suggestions? Semper Fi! P.S. Pete thanks for looking out!

Man...I know I was really looking forward to the races in December. I am installing my Aluminum cell today, the plastic one was a BAD BAD choice as it started warping due to the heat. This one is good to go. I ordered the 280ZXT CV shafts, trying to get the 280Z stub axles to mail to Ross but no reply back on those yet. I was also planning on getting a Raptor 700R4 before December as well. Oh well more goodies to get done when I get back. After that the rear upgrade and rollcage and Ill be done....sorta. That doesn't count the never ending evolution of the things we do. Oh Im picking up some rear 180SX calipers for cheap to go with the rear disc conversion Ross has for sale. Same as the 240SX ones.
Anyway if there is anything anyone needs that I can get at a junk yard let me know and Ill price the parts for you. Yes we definately need to have a Texas meet!!!! More later!!!!
