Hello Roadster people,

I sold "Spike" the Roadster yesterday (locally), and wanted to wish you all well and express my gratefulness for all the help I got and friendships I made along the way. I will be seeing some of you around at meets, shows and such -- it was a great ride.

I hope this is not the end of your journey. Will you be getting another one? We will all miss you.

Anyone we know who bought it?
See you at SCS, Garm, with your latest project!

Linda

I would do a 510 2-door if got another Datsun. Or a Bluebird. I can't have a convertible.

I will miss seeing your avatar with updates. I too will go this route someday and say goodbye to a 43 year friendship

Sorry to hear it Garm. Why can't you have another convertible?

Cancer. On April 1, 2014 I had a three hour surgery on my ear for melanoma. Got it all, but... The sun is, unfortunately, no longer my friend.

Just get a big floppy hat like Ted has.

Seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Chances are the sun that caused your recent issue was probably from many years ago. I figure at my age, any damage done now won't manifest itself until I'm gone.

I had first one 15 years ago and how I run a hardtop most of the time......missing a few lymph nodes , but all is good...Fishing is even harder on you....

My brother is going through radiation right now for a quarter size spot on his face........

My mom has to be checked every 3 months and has gone though tons of them.....and she is 87......

70 SPF is your friend.......and don't let it get you down......

You have been a great and willing resource on the board, look forward to seeing you at other car events and backroad rallies. I am probably one more season away from the same decision, as a wide brim hat does not work after 3pm, so either hardtop on the roadster or a coupe (need a backseat to be able to bring the two kids along to car events).
Good on ya Garment, and good luck with new car projects.

Good luck on what ever the future brings you. As was said, you have been one of the infosources that make this a great site. It may be painful but stay with us to give us access to your brain.
Sunscreen has always had a place in the glove box of all my cars.

Roadsters look OK with the top up too.
