About Me


I have been around the automobile industry my whole life. My Dad has been a car dealer since he was 17. I guess I have gasoline in my veins. Exporting cars.Importing cars. Selling cars. Breaking cars. Building cars.
I got into Skyline GT-R's in 1991 when I went to Japan, and really a little before then because of a Car and Driver article. I started working with importing them to the US in 1999. Since then I have been, playing with GT-R's. I don't own one, I just drive them, work on them, break them
Google USA GT-R blog.
Some car type stuff about me
1) Averaged 120 mph over 120 miles - navigating in a GMC Typhoon 2) Went 10's in the quarter mile in a R33 GT-R 3) Went 11's in the quarter mile in a GMC Typhoon 4) Crashed a car at over 100mph and didnt die 5) Drove a car on the Hot Rod Power Tour- Long Haul Gang 6) Drove an R33 cross country to NOPI in Atlanta 7) Got a ticket for 100 mph in a 70 and careless driving on that same trip to NOPI 8) Drove an R32 to Texas. Texas flooded- so we drove home 9) Broke 3 GT-R transmissions in a fairly short amount of time 10) Pegged an HKS boost gage while chasing an RX-7 11) Flew to Sitka, Alaska and took an engine out of an R32 12) Lots of other non appropriate behaviour 13) Did an indicated 295 km/hr one night on a "test track". 14) I wear my socks inside out. Has to do with the seam in socks.. 15) I have one fake tooth in the front. Root canal that broke.
Some Nissan Skyline GT-R pages I am working on. I can never find even my own information about things.
http://www.automotiveforums.com Did nearly a year preparing for World Challenge. Ran the car in 5 races in 2006. It was hard, it was fun, it was expensive. Next year, cheaper stuff, like drag racing and drifting.
