Signs Of A Roadster Maniac Take Two

Post by **S Allen** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 11:59 pm

A few years ago Gary Boone posted a "Signs of a Roadster Maniac" to the roadster list. People added to it and it grew rather large. It is on the main website. I thought it would be fun to compile a new list of signs of this afflication we all pretty much have in common. I will start it and we can see where it goes.

You know you have got the roadster bug when you have more than two roadsters-one running and one or two parts cars-quite possibly in pieces scattered about the house and yard.......but you are still looking for another one. You know that elusive 1500 or that 67.5 2 liter.

If you visit this site more than once a day you are smitten.

You have a Datsun Roadster Only Parking sign in your garage(full of roadsters and parts) and your better half's car sits outside.

Okay, that is a start. Let's see where this goes.

You know you're a roadster maniac when...

* You own the "elusive" 67 2000, a 1500 and even a 1966 modern powered KA24DE roadster...yet you still continue to look at the datsun classified ads...

* You have more than 1,400 posts on the 311s.org forum site

when you would rather get kicked out of your house than sell the datsun. I mean come on, i can live in the car!

sheesh

maybe when you over pay for one, drive it a mile down the road and blows a head gasket, then you have to fix awhole bunch of stuff and you just say that it needed it anyways.

(justifying a purchase that was done to quick)

and of course it is never done, you could have a 10,000 67.5 2000 roadster that was garage kept, and you would still find stuff that it needed

well you know honey i need these $800 fog lamps, the car is nothing with out them!!, or i need a time machine to replace the air in the tires from the day that it was built, and of couse along with about aaa i don't know 1,000 more new or less than 5,000 miles car, and every part that is avaiable. and you don;t even think of fixing some problems, she might tho', marrying you!

If none of the above posts seem at all strange, and in fact most make sense to you...
