French, nearly 50yo (yes... Shame !) but fan of great cars for a very very long time.
I owned by the past a mazda RX7 from 1980 which was one of the earlier model.
Now, my garage is made of three english cars :
one TVR 2500M from 1972 which i love a lot
one TVR Cerbera 4.5 from 2001... A monster, pure one (420hp, true ones)
Each of the TVR gives me a different pleasure, but these cars are really great
The third one is an english one but german now : a mini cooper S from 2006 ; a real toy that beats a lots of more powerfull cars as it's a real little kart. Little kit on it for 200hp
Oh i forget a "normal" car, a german one that begins with an "A", in an avant version... For the Family ! Very good car, but not a dream car at all.
And in nearly one month, a Datsun Fairlady which i bought without seing it ; only by pictures ! Maybe i'm a fool, but life needs to be risky. The car appears to me really clean.
As this car afaik wasn't imported to France (or just a little...), even the Datsun France Club doesn't know a lot about it. They told me that on their opinion less thant 10 Rodster were registered in France.
So i think this forum will help me a lot about technical problems, trics, experience shared...
First step :
waiting the car in France and coming back to Paris with it (cross fingers !)
Second step :
check nearly everything on it with my garagist who is a great man (he maintains my two tvr and he is a real mechanician)
Third step :
renewing the Hard Top and finding a fitting kit (i'm sure you will help me)
Fourth step (but it's already on the way) :
change the wheels ; for the time being, the car is delivered with oem wheels that are great, but i want to go on Rotas RB to give it a more sport "character".
I will keep the original wheels with all the needs they will deserve
Fith step :
drive the car to discover it more and more
I won't tune it cause i love cars that are in their original configuration (yeah, i know, i will change the wheels
)Excuse my english, cause you know, i'm a little froggie as was saying F. Zappa (i'm a fan of him for more than 30 years now).
Many thanks for your first answers ; but, i'm sure i will have a lot of questions !
