Race with a 59 Fiat 750 Spider

Post by Bob »

Today, I pulled into a favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch with my wife and daughter (yes, it is a three seater).

An obvious car enthusiast came up to me and said "that is a beautiful Fairlady. I know how rare that is. Its what a 64?" I said he was right. He then mentioned that he had a 59 Fiat 750 Spider, and he asked me "would you like to race?" I said I wasn't much of a racer, and showed him around the car. When I popped the hood and showed him the U20, he stopped and said "beautiful car, never mind about the race."

As he left, he asked if it was reliable. I said yes, it's a Datsun (forgetting for a moment that his car was a Fix It Again Tony).

I love it! That U20 would have embarrassed him but good!
