Hello Everyone:
I'm glad you all enjoyed the MotoMan video. Several people were involved in making the joint interview between Mr. Matsuo and Mr. Rodriguez happen with MotoMan - - but it was Mr. Rodriguez that was the main organizer that coordinated everything on the West Coast. Mr. Matsuo attended the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Z Car in Nashville at this years Z Car Convention. Mr. Rodriguez flew in for the weekend because he had been an enthusiast for the first generation Z Cars since he was a kid. I bought my first Datsun 240Z in March of 1970 - and I've been driving them ever since. So it was real honor and personal pleasure to spend the better part of the week with Mr. Matsuo and the weekend with Mr. Rodriquez. Both are real "Car Guys" and both were very down to earth. While I like what Nissan has done with the 370Z - if Nissan had built the car as Mr. Rodriguez sketched it conceptually - it would have been a milestone design and a real homerun for Nissan. FWIW, Carl B. |
