NEW Z CAR

I got to see one of the new Z cars the other night. Nice package. I haven't yet read much about what Nisson did in bringing it back, but sure looked nice.

Also, last night at the drive in, a fairly large Citroen (SP?) group was there. Those are some very strange looking automobiles. In a weird way it looked like a big school of fish! Many had driven down from Montreal.

Citroens are weird cars. Adjustable ride height, etc.

I'm a Citroën guy more than a MGB guy.

Next to it is a '57 Citroën 11BL Traction Avant. There's a '68 ID19B and another Traction Avant in the garage.

I saw a new Z being displayed at a small car local dealership about two months ago. When I commented to the salesperson how cool it was he told me it was his mom's retirement present from his dad! Claimed it would probaly never see over 55 mph or leave the county. I seriously wanted to cry.

The new Z is a sharp looking car. I see them daily around town and at the golf course that I work at. They are truely the best car you can get for 30K.

The car that I truely lust after is the new BMW M3. The Double VANOS(Variable Valve Timing on Intake and Exhaust) and 333hp is unbelievable! The trottle response is only comparable to that of high tech superbike. Once you turn the traction control off you can do donuts all day long!

I let a friend at the golf course drive my B and he let my drive his dads M3!

Here's a cool M3 website: <http://www.bcw3design.com/m3/index2.htm>

Nice photos Richard. At the Drive in, one of the guys had a older Citreon like the one in your photo, many of the other owners were hovering around it. A very distinctive car! Is that an old Land Crusier in your Driveway?

Thanks, John. And yes, that's a '71 FJ55.

Golf course? Did someone say golf? What course do you work at?
