Time for another awesome get together!!  This Treasure Island meet is usually an annual deal and this year we are going to try to make it as legitimate as possible.  The meet will be starting at 11:00am and ending somewhere around 6:00pm, or whenever we decide to leave.  There is also going to be a photo shoot scheduled so we ask that everyone arrive by 1:30 so that things can run as smoothly as possible.

A thread has been started by the event organizer over at MY350Z.com so make sure you sign up over there or at least check out who will be attending the show.  I will have more updates here as the day approaches so stay tuned.

We will be meeting at Z Car Garage at 9:00am on Saturday the 22nd to make a group drive up to Treasure Island.  A group from Monterey will be joining up as well so we should have a decently large caravan to the show.  DON’T MISS IT!!!

Z Car Garage
140 Archer St

(The map below of the meeting point at Treasure Island is a little vague so I will try to find an actual address for everyone, outlined in WHITE)

I have updated a few things that you might want to know about:

New Email Address!!  ZCarBlog@gmail.com

I just added this so that you could email me directly without going through Rob if you so wish.  Feel free to send me any of your thoughts or harassing emails.  I appreciate them all.

I have updated the “For Sale” page a little bit as well.

• The ZCG G35 Twin Turbo now has a new price of $26,000 (practically a steal for what was invested)

It has also received new Michelin PS2 tires in the rear, new brakes on all four corners, undergone the full 60K mile service, and been upgraded with an iPhone/iPod integration system in anticipation of a new owner.

• The White 1973 240z has gone on to a new home.  Congrats to the new owner.

• The Wide-body G35 Twin Turbo has been taken off the market, the owner was just too attached to let it go.

That’s all for now.  More updates later today and over the weekend.

Here is the next set of photos from last year’s Historics weekend.  These are most of the ’50s and newer cars.  I have two more sets coming of Trans-Am/Can-Am cars as well as some really cool vintage open-wheel cars.  I hope that a few more of you have signed up through the ZONC website.  We really want to represent the Z as much as possible so please get your tickets and meet us here!

We will also be planning some sort or cruise down to the track on Saturday for the corral.  I’ll have some more info on this soon.  Have a great weekend and make sure you see all of the photos after the ‘read more’.

In order to get all of you excited for the upcoming Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile races I have decided to share a few (okay tons) of photos that I took last year.  I didn’t plan on sharing these at first but I think it is important to show what sort of amazing cars come out of hiding for this event, especially for those who have never been to Laguna Seca for this weekend.

Enjoy the photos below of the Pre 1950 cars from last year.  I will have at lease two more posts with different groups of cars over the next few days.  Hopefully this will light a fire under some of you go over to ZONC.org to sign up for the Z Car Corral on Saturday August 15th.

Happy Thursday!!!

Follow the ‘read more’ for all the pictures.

That’s right!!  Roughly three weeks from now on August 14-16th are the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca.  The best part of this weekend is the Z Car Corral, hosted by the Z Owners of Northern California (ZONC), where all our fellow Nissan/Datsun friends get to park together right along the track in a VIP parking area.

ZONC is currently offering tickets for the Saturday the 15th Corral event on their website.  I know that the flyer below says that the deadline has passed to purchase tickets but trust me there are still plenty of spaces available.

Cars from every time period and every marque are represented during the Historics weekend but this year promises to be extra special because Porsche is the featured marque of this year’s event.  Porsche cars are already set to represent one third of the race cars on the track and Porsche factory will be bringing out a few rare cars as well.  The new four-door Panamera will also be on hand for the the public to view.

If you are busy this weekend cancel your plans.  The Historics are well worth it.  We would love to have you join Z Car Garage and ZONC for this amazing event!!!
