R.I.P Mr.K

The 240Z is (and will always be) in the top ten list of my favourite cars, i'd like to own.

Wow... he lived to be 105? The Datsun 240Z and 260Z are two of my all-time favorite sports cars. I even remember the old "Devil Z" in stuff like "Wangan Midnight." I'm finding this out too late, but my condolences go out to Yutaka Katayama and all whom have known and loved him. Domo arigato for your automotive awesomeness.
