transworldmoto Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hello all! After a few years of toying with my VW's and dumping thousands of dollars into that scene, I'm coming back to my roots, sort of...In the next few weeks I'll be purchasing a 2002 Xterra 4x4 Supercharged. Now, I know this isn't a pathy and it's not my red wd21 that i cherished and had such a great time in, but it's a Nissan nonetheless! I hope Bernard and others are still around the boards! Looks like Mr. Jim has redone the boards and they look great! Hope you guys can welcome back an old friend to the community and help me with my future adventures and dilemmas in the wonderful world of Nissan!!

transworldmoto Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 hey pezzy! ya i remember slick and her jd and 88 and his wisdom! haha good to hear everyone's still around for the most part. any word on mr. b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 B, he's been mesmerized with too many shiny things (work), and has run off with the circus, if he's lucky (on vacation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi408 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey transworldmoto. I heard a rumor that you lived in Sunnyvale and by the time I came across this you had sold your pathy and shipped off. This true? If it is, then you'd be the closes NPORA member to me besides SC88pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transworldmoto Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 hey! haha funny thing, i actually got a pm from you when i signed on here for the first time in about 3 years! it was from july 10th, 2007. pretty crazy huh? I live in san jose now, right off highway 17S/880 North and 85. SC88pathy is a great guy! I had the opportunity of meeting him when I lived in sunnyvale. If i'm not mistaken, he purchased a bullbar from me. I also met slick that day too! she's a great gal too with her jd and country ahhaah. all good people. i havent met one person on here that isnt a pleasure to talk to and share stories with. As far as me shipping out, I ended up switching sides of the Coast Guard to the deployable operations group, or DOG or Specialized Forces (whichever you prefer), and am serving with a Port Security Unit in San Francisco. Mind you I am in the active reserves, however we drill quite frequently and are engaged in MOUT and some other very cool missions; very similar to the marine corps infantry regiments.

mws Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Welcome back, Ben! We thought about you often - sounds like all our wishes for a SAFE return have come true. We'd like to hear some of your stories when you get a chance. Little Red is doing GREAT! She misses you, but I think she is pretty happy in her new home as well. Yes, I still have her and use her regularly. She's still ugly as ever (almost ALL of the clear coat is gone off the hood now), but the running gear is 100% like new now! Drives like a champ. Well, except for the A/C.... the compressor died a couple months ago. Got a new one, just need to get it installed and charged. Just a tough little truck with a lot of life left! 250K miles is just break in, I tell ya! Edited August 27, 2008 by mws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a tough little truck with a lot of life left! 250K miles is just break in, I tell ya! Wow 250k???? That's awesome to hear she's still around. I originally bought it from my high school auto shop in really bad shape...sagging rear end that leaned about an inch and a half lower on the drivers side, an exhaust leak like a metranome on steroids and tires that looked like they'd burst if you stared too long! But I knew shed be a great truck with a little tlc. I'm so happy she has a good home and still travels the open road. I had a ton of great times with it and I'm sure it'l do the same for you. Are you going to this thing in October slick mentioned above? I think it'd be neat to see it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It'd be about 550 miles (each way) for us, so unfortunately I don't see it happening. I just don't have enough vacation time available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
