Gulf Coast Z Club

PaulZ370 · 04-17-2013, 10:48 AM

I updated the First Post with the information, however, for those of you who are in Covington and surrounding areas, if you want to join the Cruise to LeBlanc Nissan then meet us at Starbucks in Covington - we'll be cruising out of there at 10am SHARP - meet us or catch up!

Felix370z · 04-22-2013, 02:58 AM

Wow I cant believe I missed the Leblanc meet, especially since I stay in BR. Im kicking myself in the a** right now lol. I have been wanting to make it to one of the meets but due to my work schedule have not been able to catch any of them yet. I was actually off for this one though, I just didnt check the forums in time. Maybe next time perhaps.

PaulZ370 · 04-25-2013, 10:04 AM

First off, apologies for the delayed write-up and update on this Event. I've had to deal with a Medical Emergency in the past few days which thankfully has been resolved now and all is well.

Being that is the case, I'd like to share the write-up from our Facebook Page with the members on here regarding the show. I'd just add that we had close to 30 Z's of all Generations (S30, Z31, Z32, Z33 and Z34) and the GCZC picked up about 7 new members at the show. A New GCZC Member won the 50/50 pot which was about $74, so his membership and his gas were paid for, and he had some left after that as well...

Anyways - here is the write up from our FACEBOOK page:

Well All, it was an absolutely beautiful day today for our 9th Annual Price Leblanc Z Car Show. Turn out was great with most models represented (Dave, you didn't bring thr GT-R?!). The folks at Price Leblanc did an outstanding job once again hosting the event. Everyone received an event t-shirt (always one of the highlights is the design on the shirt, and this year did not disappoint.) I think everyone even won a door prize or event gift from Aluminum Nismo Coffee mugs to Z Hats to Zero Gravity Lawn Chairs! Looking forward to the 10th Annual event next year already. Thanks to everyone for showing up and representing the Club. Shout out to the VQ Krewe who represented well (as usual.) And a very special Thank You to the Folks at Price Leblanc Nissan.

And here are the pictures of the winners (I'll have to come back and post pictures of the Z's soon!)

Next event looks like to be in Mobile, Alabama (Time and Place to be announced soon) - this will be a Cruise Event - so mark your calendars, shine up your Z's, change the oil, check the tires and come on out to enjoy your Ride!

PaulZ370 · 04-27-2013, 01:25 AM

GuyZ & GalZ,

No sooner do we complete one Grand Event at LeBlanc Nissan (check out the Youtube Video posted by members of the VQ Crew The Twinz's - YouTube), than another Grand Event for the Gulf Coast Z Club comes up. This time, a cruise of a few hours long to an Auto Shop specializing in working on Z's of all Generations, where we will hold our meeting and have a Show-and-Tell Workshop by a master Z mechanic. This is your chance to have an open forum with a specialist who can provide all the information you wanted about a Z but were afraid to ask! So clear up your Calendars for Saturday May 18, and shine up your Z and get it ready to cruise the Gulf Coast to Mobile Alabama with the rest of the Crew...

Our Itinerary is as follows:
1. Both North Shore and South Shore New Orleans area Groups will meet up at the Stennis Center Exit in Mississippi (Exit 2) at the Rest Area/Welcome Center, where we will launch to Mobile with the full compliment of Z's. Time of Launch 9:30am Sharp from Covington, arriving at Stennis Welcome Center at 10pm. Leave Stennis Welcome Center at 10:15am Sharp

2. On the way to the Auto Shop, we will stop at Lambert's Restaurant in Foley Alabama at around 1pm for a scrumptious meal of unbelievable uniqueness and proportions- I've been there and it is truly an experience. You will not leave there hungry... 'nuff said. Here is the link to check it out:Lambert's Cafe - The Only Home of Throwed Rolls - Sikeston, MO | Ozark, MO | Foley, AL

EDIT: As Bucketman Rightly Noted in his post below: Lambert's Does NOT take Credit Cards - Cash Only !

Here are a couple of pics of the restaurant taken on my trip previously:

3. Leave From Lambert at 2pm and make our way to F&D AutoCare in Mobile Alabama, arriving there and meeting up with the Local Z Groups at about 3pm. Jonathan, the owner of the Autoshop will host the event for us and put on a Tech Shop as well. Here is the link to the Shop: About Us - F&D Autocare (251) 653-8141 5914 Hwy 90 W

Let's Cruise!

Quick question... When can I expect my credentials for the Gulf Coast Z Club? I signed up and paid at the Le Blance Car Show. Is there a time frame?

Harold is printing out the Club Membership cards. He did say over the weekend when we met that he will be printing out some. I'll follow up with him see what the status is...

bucketman · 05-21-2013, 01:20 AM

Glenn,
Saw your post on facebook. I have printed and laminated the cards. I would be happy to drop it in the mail for you or you can collect it at the next meeting, your choice. If you need it to purchase parts at Leblanc Nissan, I can give Mary or Rick a shout to let them know you are coming. Harold

You can just drop it in the mail. I really can't say when the next time I will see you all. We are about to start building our home in Covington.

Thanks,
