Dan Juday Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 That's what I kept telling myself. So, the family and I are just about to head out to get this year's tree when the door bell rings. "Hey Dan, what's up?" Jon, aka Jumbo240Z, is standing on my porch and his "arrest me red", Ford powered Z is in the street in front of the house. Cool, very cool. "Ah, it's a salesman, honey. I'll chase him away and be right back.", as I slip out the door. I get an up close and personal look at his latest mods: the Gurney flap, the filled side markers, and the way cool OSH supplied custom strut braces. "Ya wanna ride?" "Well, ah, I should..." "Get in! The seat belt is right behind the seat." Note to self: He's got a five point harness, I got a lap belt and bad judgement. Was I scared? You bet your brass! Seriouly, thanks Jon, that was a great time. Stop by anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hey Dan, it's nice to know that when I decide to "just go for a ride" I have someplace to go unannounced! Thanks for sharing your parts stash with me. That fiberglass dash with the 4 holes for gauges is way cool... er, I got a hint of your anxiety, (though it never really showed) when I asked if there were Highway patrol with radar in the area and you said "yup, and we don't have accidents around here, we have fatalities" Till next time buddy. Jon PS: Hope you got that tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Jumbo , come up my way unanounced and let me drive and I will show you my 3 hole fiberglass dash that I plugged the 4th (originally for turbo) hole. Did you get to see the red handled doall wrench that Dan does all that good work with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Originally posted by Tomahawk Z:Did he exceed the speed limit???? OH NO! Jon would NEVER do that... Of course he doesn't know what the speed limits are in strange towns either I had a good go in Jon's car myself, and I have to say it is the most refined and most 'finished' V8 Z I have ever been in. The car is made and runs like it was supposed to be that way new. Thanks for my own fun run in your car, Jon! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Hey Len, sorry for the pu$$y ride dude but that was at the Marina and all... Davy, remember that knocking we thought might have been wheel hop during the 'shake-down cruise' 9mos ago? Well that weak, cheap a$$ diff strap fixed that, and yes folks, it's holding up just fine. Davy, now that you got your Z I gotta come by. Just let me know. The pics of the car make it look nicer than it is, RacerX I could use some help here!!! Dan you were right when you said it's becoming more of a race car than a street car. But it anit no fun 'less you drive it dude! Tomahawk, I'd stop by if I knew where the hell you were. As for driving it, well, cash is a good incentive (note to self, set the rev limiter at 4800) Anyway, I'm having a blast... until the money runs out. Take care guys.
