Message I've just had different forms of love.

Back in '89 it was the love of eventually owning a Z32. In '97 it was the love of searching for an NA Z32 while becoming a TT.com member and reading the forum every day. Then in '98 it was the love of finally owning a Z32 2+2 NA and the love of modding. This also started the love of dragstrip bracket racing. And that love lasted for 8 long years! But I almost lost the love in 2002 when I finally won the coveted NHRA Wally trophy for bracket racing in my 2nd Z32, a TT. At this time I reached a goal and everything else Z32 almost didn't matter anymore. I alnmost stopeed racing. I almost sold the black TT. And this was about the same time I bought the MINI. But it was the love of racing the Z32 that kept me in. I had a new goal - the elusive 11-sec timeslip on stock turbos. As many of you know, I crashed trying to attain that goal last year . But the Z32 love never faded. I had to have another. I sold the MINI and bought a NA vert. So this is my 3rd Z now, in monster TT form. The TT setup I've always wanted. And I have yet another new kind of love. My local mechanic Rich(RZT) left NYC for Florida. And I now have a love for working on my own Z. A whole new perspective on Z32 ownership. I've started to do all of my own work now. At least as much as I can do. So the love goes on ...
