Club President Jim Hagani is currently on vacation, so he's asked me to get our next meeting squared away. Due to the fact that ZCON is being held this week, our next meeting will be on the THIRD Wednesday of this month, which is August 21st. Please don't drive to a Z meeting on the 14th!!!

We are happy to announce a new dealer sponsor for our August meeting, Alfano Nissan in Torrington CT.

As usual, we will convene at 7:00pm and pizza/drinks will be provided. Feel free to get there as early as 6:30pm to extend your Z experience and catch up with friends!

Address:
Alfano Nissan
1530 East Main Street
Torrington, CT 06790

Check them out at: http://www.alfanonissan.com/showroom/index.htm

The first few days of ZCON were an absolute blast, so I'm sure we'll be hearing many updates from those who attended.

:thumbs_up: Thanks Ross! And thanks to whomever set us up with a new venue.

I'm really looking fwd to getting together with everybody this month, so we can share stories about ZCon. Bill Moreau agreed to make sure he attended our next meeting (this one) so he could give us the detailed statistics about ZCon ~ how many attended, how many cars, how many CTZCC members took home trophies, etc.

What a landmark month this is turning out to be for the Club! New joins by the basketful, old acquaintances remade at Nashua, and the surfacing of a never-before-known video of Bob Sharp's first season driving a 240Z.

It's a wonderful time to be in love with your Z.

Frank

This is wonderful...I'd like to thank everyone at Alfano for hosting us and Ross for working hard to make this happen.

I'm very excited about meeting the Alfano team and hearing about all the fun I missed at ZCon from our members.

See you on the 21st!

I am pleased to report that Bryan Little will be giving us a photo presentation of his 240Z painting project at our August meeting. If you haven't been following this thread, I have pasted it below:

http://forums.ctzcc.com/viewtopic.php?t=7091

I have found this to be a very interesting project to read about and follow. If you don't know Bryan's 240Z, it's been the object of much envy on the part of other club members. Bryan has a ton of time into this car and has done just about everything from a mechanical perspective imaginable. The only thing lacking was the paint, and as you will see from this thread, that project is well underway. It's being done personally by Bryan the old fashion way! How many of us have contemplated painting a vehicle someday? Well Bryan is doing it and I'm sure he has some great stories about the challenges presented along the way.

Don't miss this one!

I was standing near Bryan at the ZCon in Nashua when a new face walked out of the crowd and introduced himself and told Bryan he has been following this painting project on the website. Apparently others are copying his techniques.

It was great to see so many CTZCC members show up for Z Con 2013.

CTZCC Members had many of their cars entered in the Judged Car Show and most of them walked away with TROPHIES!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the August 21st meeting.

ZZZZYA

Bill, you guyz did a great job and if there were any glitches, they didn't show to the public. Did you ever sleep? I was up at all hours and always saw you running around preparing the next events. :shock:

I bought some surplus ZCON 2013 goodie bags that we will raffle off for free at our upcoming meeting. T-shirts not included.

Ross, those bags are great, any one who gets one will defiantly enjoy it. :D I should be there, and I'm working on those pics to see what I have. (well, the wife took) I'm also looking at a possible new 280zx, and he might go to the meeting as well. I miss my ol girl. Phil can relate to that. :wink:

Getting excited. Another chance to zee everybody and hear some stats about the ZCon turnout.

And an update on Bryan's paint project is overdue, so this should be a really interesting meeting.

Going to be working first shift tomorrow so I can make the meeting. I will be leaving directly from work at about 4:30 which gives me a destination time of about 6:00. I don't know if I will be able to make any more monthly meetings for the rest of the year. My wife has switched her Wednesday schedule so I will have child care problems.
:(

Hope to see a good turn out tomorrow night!

I'm still keeping my eye out for one of those emblems, I'll look harder since you'll be there.
