I just received the much anticipated latest issue of ZCCM, the outstanding magazine devoted to Z car clubs and their members. One of our most familiar and admired Z's is featured on the cover - Ross' gorgeous Black Pearl!

But wait, there's more!

Inside you'll find not only a complete article on the Black Pearl (as well as a sidebar on Ross' Bob Sharp GT-33), there's also an in-depth, two page profile of our club! The article details the CTZCC from its origins through today.

Image

Congratulations to Ross and to everyone at the club!

For more information about ZCCM, please visit their website at http://www.zcarclubmag.com/.

'Bout time these two carz got some recognition.

And Diego gets some exposure on this issue, too?

Thanks Jim and Frank. It's really a wonderful experience to have the love of my Z publicized in this way. There are cars you sell and cars you keep. This is a car I hope to always own and enjoy the next generation appreciate some day.

For the photos, I engaged Diego Perri of the NJ club. His photographic skills and his love of all things Z made him the right man for the job.

And Alan Dempsey graciously spent the better part of a day going from location to location with me when we needed to shoot both cars together.

I think it's also great to have the opportunity to correct the misperception by some out of area folks that we are an "internet club". We are probably the first (and possibly the only) Z club to succesfully combine a traditional club model with a very, very active year-round web presence. Maybe our uniqueness causes the confusion.

Anyway, this was a great experience that I know I will look back on fondly for many years.

Thank you to all of our members that make this club great!!!

Even I knew of Captain Jack Sparrow and I have only seen bits and pieces of the movie series.

Both the Black Pearl article and the CTZCC article are well written and great reading.
Thanks Ross for a super job and the once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a true classic.
