datsunlover Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Well, I got up today and the sun was shining.. (getting to be rare now..) I had put the Z away last week, after not driving her for at LEAST the 3 weeks before.. Weather has been getting cold.. raning, had snow last week, so winter is not far off. Anyway, I decide.."yah.. one more cruise" Wow.. I love my Z! It took half an hour to warm up at all.. after that, it chuged and fatred and poped for the first 10 miles I drove it.. the thing would sit and shake like it has a SBC with a high lift cam.. "pla PLOP pla PLOP" and rock back and forth. So around mile 11 or so, I mash the throttle in 2nd; I get a huge back fire through the carbs, and then...... WHOO HOO!!! She takes off like a race car! Got an interesting look from the guy beside me in the SUV.. hee hee... She ran GREAT for the next 3 hours! (till I put her in the garage again.. for good this year... I did a few more burnouts, some 4 wheel drifting thorugh back road corners (moslty in 2nd gear.. not really fast, but fun.. and hey, I'm on public roads here! ) The ol' Z'er also managed a solid 110MPH along a stretch of highway, and was going for more.. but I was coming into a town.. Cruising slow is fun though too, just to see the expresions on peoples faces! Was a good day all told... Never thought I'd be driving my Z in the middle of November though!

Guest zfan Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I love Texas. No putting the car away for winter down here but it does get hotter than hell sometimes. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
