to tell you truth, I dont remember much from that time,lol! ;) but needless to say, thats my garage in those pics.. a few of us offered to help him restore it back to as close to normal as possible. He brings it over, we take the hood fender nad bumper off and start "trying" to sand it away. After a few hours with little work done (he didnt really do much) he decided to go home leaving all those parts in my garage. Ironically, I had a hood from another Z (came from another Z member, forgot who though) and it fit his Z, well for the most part, I think it was a year or 2 off. He then comes back over, picks up his unfinished parts. Then he goes up to Chris n Kens buddy's shop to get it the rest fixed. We all got together and collected money to "donate" to him to help get it fixed since he WHINED about not having any money and he JUST COULD NOT LIVE WITH HIS Z IN THAT CONDITION.. :cry: :cry: :cry: The tad came to a LOT more then what was donated, I think a few other peeps in the club picked up most of the rest of the repair tab for him and then HE VANISHED into thin air...
Angela was just "finding friends on Facebook" with her hotmail email contacts and what do ya know, there he is! HAHA!
(please correct anything after he leaves my house lol)

I think the hood was Dagold's old one. My friend that was with me that day had a video camera. He got our Chevron stop, us pulling into Liberty Park, some of the drive there (including our lap at the airport :lol: ), some stops on the island, and the part on our way out where I was going over 90 and was gonna try to pass some people and almost hit that damn fence myself!!! :shock:

I'm hoping to have my video camera out for a lot of the cruises. I've got friends that are interested in riding shotgun for some cruises, so they might be my vid guys, and I've also though about buying a camera mount for my car

Absolutely. I've seen them. 8-) Just thought it would be good to have more than one person behind a video camera.

Well, all I have right now is the camcorder on my cell phone. :lol:
I would eventually like to get a real one though. Ok, and a passenger too. Driving and filming might be a little dangerous.
