Hi Speedhunters! My name is Mike Reyes and I'm located out in Glendale, CA. This is "Butch", my 1973 Datsun 240Z. Butch is truly an interesting character.

Today (Sept.15) in Japan, Mr. Yutaka Katayama - better known as "Mr.K" will be celebrating his 100th birthday. Nissan enthusiasts should immediately recognize the name, but if you don't, Mr. K is the man responsible for both bringing the Nissan brand to the United States, and for the creation of iconic Nissan/Datsun cars like the original

Say hello to one of the toughest Nissan S30Z's I have ever seen. This dark red Z is owned by Kuni-san of Gunma Prefecture, and when I first spotted it at the spring Omega Cup event at Tsukuba Circuit I could not keep my eyes off it!
