Photobucket, or Flickr work well, and both are free AFAIK.

He doesn't visit us round here anymore. Glad to hear another car geek will be inheriting his collection.

Haha its not that he doesn't want to trust me he hates being so busy......he works non-stop and when he isn't working he is with us kids. He is starting to get less busy and wants to mabey start to get back on here more. And as far as inheriting his cars, he can keep them as long as he wants cause i get to drive them when ever i want. Haha but yeah I'm a car geek.....guess we all are

Yeah thats terrible same thing with the Q's keep yours man. The first japanese car the speeddoctor had was a Q, that was what compelled him to start nico. The new g35s and stuff have taken the spotlight from the cars that started it all. Thats why I love my car, who has one i never see them. i don't want something that everybody else has.

I worked on one last fall. It was in very rough shape, the top was torn and stuck down, and the floor was covered in dead leaves and dirt.

The guy said he had just bought it, he wanted to be able to walk underneath it. Im guessing he was looking for rust, or any damage. He also wanted all of the suspension checked out as well as the brakes.

I didnt really get a chance to talk to him, but Im really hoping he was planning a full resto.

Speeddoctor used to give Nissan History quizes a long time ago.....they would have like ten questions.....somehow we had the answers hidden so people couldnt cheat, then we would announce the winner....Now I thought it would be fun to do board work...everybody can see the correct answer that folks give....but we use use the honor sysyetm in that no one should go to a resource to look up the answer. They have to answer from their own fund of knowledge...REady for the first two questions???1. What city and state was Nissan North America founded?2. Initially, How many employees did they bring from Japan?

Good luck! S.D.
