On thursday 17th june 2004,I made a trip to Bakersfield CA.It was just fun to drive 3 hours for one way from Long beach to there.I visited flight training school when I was a pilot trainee almost 8 years ago. I bought a battery for my Z,I just wanted black one which I can not buy in japan.The former battery was no ploblem but I wanted original looking because it was white battery.

I wish I could have all these different colors!

Kevin is a owner of this car.We met 4 years ago in the LAS VEGAS national convention.He made a long trip with this Z for the convention,great daily driver!

White stripes like me,nice exterior color

early 240Z like me,I love this slotted wheels

red exterior with nice wheels and the plain front bumper

also beautiful Z,note non-badging on the hood,front fender

yellow beautiful 240Z

I like this shiny exterior

My Z on the road.

This car is another stock class very clean 240Z.I am sorry,I forgot the name of owner of this car.We met in the basement parking area of Hilton for the first time.I am so glad that he knew me in this web club!!

Bob is a owner of this amazing stock 240Z.This Z got 5 175HR14 RD150s,I saw on Ebay some time ago.

viewed from the tail gate.I tried to show the jute and the carpet.

My Z's interior.please note the plastic protector for the seat bottom.

With Mr.Matsuo,from the right, Christopher(26th-Z we know!),Len (from U.K.beautiful green 1971 owner),Burt(from Florida clean stock 1971 owner ) We had a "special midnight talking" with Mr.Matsuo.There were a lot of topics even we have never heard of.I must start a new thread of them.

My car at the convention.

I wanted to clean much more before the convention.But it is O.K,when I have time to do this in japan,I just start it. again

I think this photo is showing much cleaner than actual view.I was surprised cars in the stock class,they are super clean.

I love this place,long beach.I wish I have a same weather in japan.If it possible I will be much more positive thinking and healthy and happy everyday.

The orange very stock 240Z is Mr.Miyake's car.Amazing,his car was not repainted,just original from 1972.When we drove making a formation on the high way 405,some people gave us greatings and was looking at japanese licenses.

The gentleman in the cockpit is Jim from Florida well known about serious 1969 Z collector.For me,it was like a pre-judging of a car show.26th-Z took very very good friends from Florida,thank you 26th-Z.

In the afternoon,when I met Ben at the entrance of Hilton 5 pm Mr.Matsuo dropped in at our Zs.Soon after many people came down from the lobby then Mr.Matsuo started talking about design of S30.Prime time for all of us!!

Ben made the ride,this photo was taken after the ride.BTW,this car's sound was so sexy I think.I like it.

v12horse(Ben) made a quick ride in the passenger seat of Mr.Akamatsu's LY engined car.Ben must be so exsited!!
