Greetings!
Can it get any better? Well evidently so. In addition to the local Cars and Coffee gatherings around here, we've found a new monthly gathering of Japanese cars and enthusiasts. Our weekends have been filled with meeting "car guys" in the area. We're having fun!
We've confirmed the BRE Open House for April 7th (see details below). Rumor has it there are a few caravans being organized out of CA and AZ. We can't wait to see all of you!
If you've contacted us recently or follow us on Facebook, you've already met Alison. If not, "meet" her below. And speaking of BRE members, Trevor has finalized the installation kit for the BRE Z Spook. As you'll see below, it has everything a person needs to make their early model Z more fashionable and stable, including stainless steel hardware!
Last, we ask for your feedback on what items you'd like to see from us next (see below)
All the best,
Gayle and Peter Brock

And if not sold by then, a second Daytona Coupe we're currently preparing for sale- All BRE merchandise will be in stock with a unique opportunity to get deals on not-so-perfect products

- Of course Peter Brock will be available the entire time for storytelling, autographs, etc.
- A special thanks go to the off-road tour company Zero One Odysseys who will be providing food and drinks. They will also have one of their very cool off-road cars onsite for you to see and try on for size. In advance you can check out their cars/tours here.

| New 240, 260, 280Z Spook Installation Kit | |
Step-by-step process with photos and Stainless Mounting Hardware now available
 The results of Trevor's work are starting to bear fruit. As announced last year, Trevor joined BRE to assist with parts development, including providing some much requested installation kits. Thru an extensive process, we are pleased to announce an installation kit is now available for installing the BRE Spook (front air dam) on 240, 260 and 280Zs. Via a clever process of using clips (included in the kit), Trevor has devised a way to make installing a full-car-width body part a one-person affair.
Provided mounting hardware is stainless, because you'd expect nothing less from BRE and we'd offer nothing less! Seven pages of detailed photographs and instructions will guide anyone thru an installation with ease. Save your time and money by choosing the installation kit when you purchase a BRE Z Spook.

| Please welcome Alison to BRE!
With a cat named Quattro, we knew Alison was BRE material
| |
 If you missed our announcement on facebook, let us recap that Alison is originally from Vermont and most recently worked for a supplier to the military, shipping small stuff, big stuff, domestically, internationally, ground and express. She loves shipping! But she's also good at tracking anything down and has been a big help to BRE (and you) already. Best of all, Alison is a "car guy". Her first car was a Subaru and she taught herself to drive a stick in a Mazda Protege. She soon became hooked on Quattros however (which isn't difficult to figure out if you ever meet her cat, Quattro). She's had a few, (Quattros, not cats) including two coupes and an '86 4000.
With Alison on board we're now in a position to ship containers Internationally at great rates and are looking for International distributors, especially in Australia and Europe. Interested parties should contact BRE here.

| What Parts are Next?
You tell US!
 Based on your requests we've been offering various Datsun parts, primarily reproductions of our original BRE Datsun body parts and replica Le Mans and Libre wheels. And we've been working on a lot of other possibilities.
As we continue to try to help you bring back and maintain these great cars, we'd like to know what other parts and accessories you would find useful. Feel free to send your feedback here.
When responding, it would help us prioritize if you would rate your request from 1-5 with 1 being "would be nice to see available" to 5 "I'd get it immediately". Any other info/details you'd like to provide are always helpful, like what price range you think would be appropriate for a particular item.

Will we see you in March? April? May?
 We're off for the Amelia Island Concours tomorrow. After the Concours Sunday we head farther south to Sebring for the first ALMS race of the season, returning to the office the 19th. We hope to see you somewhere along the way but if not, Alison and crew will be here to ensure your orders and inquiries are handled just as if we were in the office!
We'd love to hear a shout out on Facebook here if you'll be at the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point in May, where Brock will be the Grand Marshal for this 2.5 Trans-Am reunion weekend. Is there anything we can bring there for you?

We always look forward to the Amelia Island Concours and Sebring but we can't wait to get back and finalize everything for the open house. We hope to see you somewhere soon... the odds are for it!
