Resorting the Datsun business across Canada - Halifax - Canada’s Podcast

<p>Born on the Ides of March 1966 in Wolfville Nova Scotia, <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-parks-50512561/'>Ross Parks</a> attended High School in the Valley then Loyalist College in Belleville Ontario where he completed his Broadcasting Diploma in 1987.</p> <p>Ross spent 28 years in the broadcast/media field in various positions with Radio, TV, Billboard, Jingle Production, Publications and Transit advertising.</p> <p>His passion since his parents bought his first small diecast ‘Datsun’ in 1969 was always automotive. Ross collected ‘diecast miniatures’ all along, but it wasn’t until he picked up a 1990 Brochure for the all-new Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, that he thought "I want to purchase a real one’ next time.</p> <p>Next up Ross met an individual in Harrisburg Pennsylvania in 1993 that he worked with thru my Radio Station Jingle Venture, Todd Matthews, who was a real AMC collector. He had restored and kept 5 real cars! Five years later on his birthday (1998) and 8 years of saving, Ross bought my first Z from a car dealer in Vancouver. That black 1992 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo! On September 14th, 2003 he decided to have a party at my home in for anyone that had a Z car. 22 cars showed up.</p> <p>In April 2004 he incorporated the Atlantic Z Car club Society, a nonprofit which is now comprised of over 600 owners in Atlantic Canada.</p> <p>One of those original house party individuals came to him in the fall of 2006 and said ‘I just got laid off, and we know of many folks in Atlantic Canada with jack stand cars(cars that are in the midst of restoration but likely will never make it to the end) we should start an import company".</p> <p>On January 1st, 2007 <a href='http://www.zsportcanada.com/'>ZSportCanada</a> was formed. As per the website, their main goal was to bring in rust-free cars that were complete, assist with shipping, organizing and negotiating with US sellers to make it a very pleasant experience for customers. Since then they have become Canada’s largest importer of Datsun vehicles
