Where are is the Solvang report and pictures?
What’s going on with all the Solvang pictures and reports? Looks like if Ted or Alvin aren’t there then there’s no report! Someone post some pictures and tell everyone about the show. I couldn’t make this year and figured I would look at the reports and pictures.

Re: Where are is the Solvang report and pictures?
David Premo, it is the impact of roadster activity increasingly being directed to the Facebook sites.
There were many pictures posted on the Datsun Fairlady Roadster Group page. It has nearly 7000 members.
Even our old time 311s stalwarts, like Sid. are participating much more on the roadster facebook pages.
I see some 311s members trying to educate the Facebook crowd about the value of 311s.org but
with apparently little success. It is sad.

Re: Where are is the Solvang report and pictures?
That is most unfortunate, as speaking for myself I could not stand the amount of pushed out ad content that accompanied the use/viewing of things on Facebook. I am surprised that generations that prefer streaming (to eliminate ad content for one reason) prefer such clutter.
Additionally, the ability to search back to the knowledgeable answers David Premo made 4-6 years ago, without having to re-ask and have him re-hash it seems both beneficial and more respectful of his time.
I know nothing of the logistics of Facebook Groups, but the ability and need of chosen moderators to oversee pages (and in some cases limit or shut them down) makes me curious how Facebook handles this. (without bringing up the topic of Social Media oversight and veracity of posted material)
I personally went into the TechWIKI and printed out the "steps for engine/trans removal" and taped them to my windshield, compiling notes on bolt sizes to augment / improve the steps for the next person. The list helped me and I wanted to try to improve it to help the next person even more.
Not sure how this would work in Facebook, and probably won't be investigating given my inherent mistrust of the platform. (admission of biased opinion on my part)
I don't want to make the commitment to maintaining a presence on Facebook, I like driving the twisties and fiddling with cars too much.
Ah well, like they say, "No pics, it didn't happen."
