ggzilla Posted March 14, 2025 Report Share Posted March 14, 2025 hey bleach, when is the next Planet Of The Datsun meet? I don't want to be all alone at Griot's with the R33 Skylines and Z33 350Zs Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 14, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2025 With my involvement with the Z Car Club of Washington now, I don't see myself organizing the POTD event anymore. In place of that event which was typically in May, I will be at the All Datsun/Nissan cars and coffee in Tacoma on May 18 1 Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted March 14, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2025 ya, that Pizza place is near me. I could meet there almost any time. In a couple weeks sounds good. My schedule is open for Saturday march 29th. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 14, 2025 Report Share Posted March 14, 2025 And i should say ,, we had twins court ordered speech therapist over at the commons twice a week , all last summer, and did try eating there again .. Was like $55. bucks just for 3 people but we got to watch someone being resuscitated .. So that was like going to a fancy dinner theatre . Quote Link to comment

It's just a small gravel lot but there's a weird driveway behind. And from what i could tell, probably a bit less stabbing over drugs.. . . Edited March 14, 2025 by bananahamuck Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 14, 2025 Report Share Posted March 14, 2025 People keep telling me Kent is bad, but I'm on the East Hill, practically in Renton! Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 15, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2025 Last year I held a little burger meet at an old fashion drive-in down in the Kent valley. It was just 50 feet off of Washington Ave S. It looked nice in the daytime but as the evening came there were a few strange people hanging out in the trees behind the shop's dumpster... I think it was the first time I drove my 280Z more than a quick test drive around the block since 2017. Kent covers a very large area so your results will vary. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 15, 2025 Report Share Posted March 15, 2025 Family drive-in? Supposed to be good food there Anyways, what is Griot's like? Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 16, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2025 Griot's is a store that sells high end cleaning and polishing car care items. They have their own indoor garage to do detailing and an extra large outdoor parking lot. They host several themed car events through the year likely to draw up awareness of their store. The Z club does one small event at their location each year. this Nissan car show is not a Z Car club of Washington event though Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 18, 2025 Report Share Posted March 18, 2025 @Bleach My man can't do before the 1st because he's thrown his money in a new 520 project .. What about early April on the Mexican pizza truck?? And although we aren't talking about Griot's ,, it is sneakily keeping it at top.. haha . Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 18, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2025 Saturday April 5th, pizza place in DesMoines, works for me. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 21, 2025 Report Share Posted March 21, 2025 (edited) So on discussing this with Juan-ear he's being kinda a turkey butt about having to pay $25. to enter his 59 .. i'm like, you were just having me order extra brake lines on Rockauto for your 520 project , "in case" they somehow stop manufacturing them in the future. I will keep on it. haha . Edited March 21, 2025 by bananahamuck Life down here is just a strange illusion Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 22, 2025 Report Share Posted March 22, 2025 how much is it to park nearby and walk in? The invite says you have to buy a ticket Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 22, 2025 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2025 From what I see, it looks like spectating is free. I went this store once and they happened to have a BMW event. Nobody was checking for tickets for people walking on to the property. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted April 24, 2025 Report Share Posted April 24, 2025 I'm not sure how,, but "his" 59 is still in upholstery shop so ,, might most likely walk ins .. I am in fact assuming his gender . Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted May 7, 2025 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2025 The Nissan Family Affair is this coming Sunday! Pre-register your car for the show ($25) Car approval (with submitted photos) is only to make sure it is a Nissan product. Cars in any condition are welcome. Current weather for the weekend looks like clouds; small chance of light rain. Quote Link to comment
