I met this man in Vegas in 2002, it was at the same car show where he autographed Brody's Z. He has a great personality and always had a smile on his Face.

Happy Birthday Mr. K!

Hey, now I like this thread. I'm very pleased to see that there are other's that recognize Mr. K and know that without him - we probably wouldn't have the "Z".

Here are a few photos (I hope) from the K'Z 100th event held a few days ago w/Z enthusiasts in Japan. Some 700+ Z's were there ..

OHH .. just incase any of you are interested .. on 19SEP (Saturday); there is going to be a similar (maybe not in the same size) celebration for Mr. K at the Datsun Heritage Museum. Unfortunately I don't believe Mr. K will be attending this one.

[jaspendlove]

awesome pics. thanks for sharing

[Zequel]

Thanks for sharing those pics! That's cool that he is still around. I can't imagine what he has seen in 100 years. To witness first-hand, the extreme difference in cars from when he was a kid, to cars today, such as the GT-R and the new 370Z. Must be an amazing experience to see things change over an entire century.
We had a little celebration at my house on the 15th, for Mr. K and also for the 20th birthday of my Z (Production date 9/89).

Yes, my wife thinks I'm a total Z dork.

happy b day mr Z!!! oops i ment k... lol

[inqui-Z-tor]

Just prior to the celebration the Z clubs hosted for Mr. K - I learned that Peter Brock had a special project. He was collecting photographs from Mr. K's fans to be able to present to Mr. K at the K'Z 100th event. I sent a few photographs (had to be actual photographs - email not allowed) and kept my fingers crossed that they would get to Peter "in-time". I guess they did! I got this in the mail today!
