Hello all,
This is a sad time for me. I've been spending the last week tearing apart my Z. Yes, that's right. I said tearing it apart. It is completely and utterly destroyed. I was on my way to work in the rain and hit a puddle causing me to hydroplane. I did a few spins and slammed into a wall 3 times. Luckily I didn't get injured at all. At one point I thought for sure I was going to go over the side of the bridge since that is where it all happened. I have pics of the accident, tear down process, & engine/tranny pull. Go to these links to view the pics:

Your stomach might turn a little while looking at those. Be warned!
Don't think the website or your profiles are going anywhere just because I don't have a Z anymore. I plan on keeping everything just the way it was. I do plan on getting another Z down the road. For the rest of my time in Japan (1 year) I'll just get a grocery getter with pep. Anyway, the website and all your profiles will still be here for a while to come. Don't forget to send in pics of your Z. Also, if you've made any changes, don't forget to let me know your new mods list. I've been asked quite a few times recently so I'll address the subject again. Members
CAN NOT edit their own profiles or add pictures. I don't have a user interface that allows that. Any and all changes that you would like to be made must be made through me. Just shoot me an e-mail with any new pics or mods and I'll go edit your profile for you. It's that easy.
I've made a change to the "Home" page. The featured member section at the bottom of the page now tells why that member is being featured. If it is a new member, you will see "New member". If a current member has submitted new profile photos, you will see "New photo(s)".
I just recently went to Z Carnival @ Fuji Speedway on September 17th. I was joined by one of our very own members, Zski. I had a blast Pete. For those of you who were not lucky enough to be in Japan, fret not. I took lots of pictures. You can view them by going to this link:

That's all I have to put out for now. Again, e-mail me if you have anything you'd like the group to know. I'll be sure to put it out. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the Classifieds on the website. I'll be posting some stuff on there pretty soon. I'm still stripping my Z and then I'll be selling some parts.
LaterZ,

P.S. I just found out we have too many members to send this newsletter out to at one time. My e-mail actually says there are too many addresses in the "To" field. That rocks. I'll have to send this out a few separate e-mails from now on.
