Why is the 3rd photo following the two Datsun Roadster photos in the second link a CHP?

I don't know why the cops don't bust people for making a left across the double yellow line up there. A cop was there last weekend so I went past and made a U turn when it was legal.

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

I DROVE to the Inland Empire Z meet, then up GMR.. After spending 90 minutes up the hill, we came down to the sight of a tower of smoke.. Seems a Prius decided it was done being green..

That's because its LEGAL to turn into somewhere, just not legal to pass.

It has to be a double double solid yellow line to be illegal.

RoadsterMike & Solex68 Hit Coffee & Cars Irvine @ 6:30 A.M. and represented Datsun Roadsters. There was one or two 240Zs and also a 710 from Colorado. Click on Photo for a better view.

I am not sure what my wheels are exactly. I picked mine here from Mike Spriso. I love em. They are so lite.

Thanks. I have 14x6 watanabe rims on my roadster. I ran out of gas pulling into my driveway. That was close...I really need to figure out my gas gauge issues.

LOL. I had that issue at one time too Mike. Mine was a corroded sensor. I pulled it when I coated my gas tank. It is happy now.

Mike's clean car with the nice paint drew the crowd in!

Missed CarsNCoffee (wife was working that morning), but took my nephew down PCH to Crystal Cove (Corona Del Mar / Laguna Beach) then came back via 405.

The Audi SUV driver with his whole family inside was not happy when I went on ramp to fast lane (80+) in one swoop. What, he had left a healthy gap, and we all know the gaps forward of you are easier to hit than the ones behind.....

My nephew (~14) managed to fall asleep in the passemger seat on the way home, on the freeway! now that's tired!

Great day, great drive.

One of the fellow owners came over with light problems. After we finished getting the lights working I took him for a ride in the stroker. Did a nice 80mph short run up the freeway.

Perhaps he'll want a stroker now.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.
