Title: Goofing off in my Z

Just for fun. It sounds good, but no crazy driving, this is a mostly original 280Z from 1978. Even the springs & shocks are original! Lots of wind noise, WAY more than on the bike. Not sure why, maybe because of the wind rushing up the windshield where I had the camera on the wiper arm.

It certainly is fun to drive! Even if it only has 130HP or so.

That road could be fun on a bike if it wasn't for all the loose gravel & grass that always seems to be scattered about. You can see the grass in the 2nd video.

Here's a shot from the top of the mountain:

I miss my 260Z so much.

I used to have a 240Z, and would still have it today had the frame not rusted out.

These videos really make me want to find another.

I'm starting to see a few of them out and about. Say a couple 280ZXs just this week.
