Thanks for sharing! I look forward to the next installments of the article.

105, wow! He just keeps on going, just like a Datsun. I remember celebrating his 100th birthday at the Datsun Heritage Museum. He hasn't been able to make the trip to the states for several years now, and I was honored to have met him at the National Z Convention at Nissan Headquarters in Gardena. The people organizing the show had me bring Togo as a special treat for Mr. K to see. He signed Togo's scrapbook, and was very interested to learn that the Patrol has an active following in the US.

You should have had him sign Togo!

I don't always read the little Nissan News items as they cross my desk, but will keep an eye out for any further articles. I have enjoyed following the Z heritage from many years ago as a youth. Always wanted an old 240, 260, or early 280, but was always a truck/Jeep guy to really pursue getting one. And, I never did acquire the love of the 2nd gen 300Z, even the very capable twin turbo edition. I just always thought they looked too much like the Pontiac Fiero.
