Michael,
Cool look, very inspiring. Gorgeous view.
What color is that, do you know? Mine is exact same non-stock color, still on the Search for "something similar".

I drove out to Redington Shores to check on our now condemned beach house. This is pretty much ground zero for the last 2 hurricanes in Florida (Helene and Milton).

Not quite sure the exact code as the roadster was this colour when I purchased it in 1984.FergO2k wrote: Fri Nov 01, 2024 8:14 am Cool look, very inspiring. Gorgeous view.

I did a small repair on the rear quarter a couple of years ago and NAPA scanned the paint and did a match that came out almost dead on.
A photo of the paint can & label is below. If you can't make out all of the info on the label PM me & I'll type it out for you.

Difficult times, sorry to hear/see this. I understand that insurance has become expensive, if you can even get it. I hope the future days ahead are better for you... that's got to be pretty heartbreaking.Nded wrote: Fri Nov 01, 2024 1:17 pm I drove out to Redington Shores to check on our now condemned beach house.

Here in the great northwest we worry about volcanoes and earthquakes... no bubble is safe.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
It was sunny and 80F in Western New York today Nov 5th. That's close to Buffalo so who would have guessed
Drove 60 miles along Lake Ontario from Olcott to Lewiston, the mouth of the Niagara river. Not many leaves left on the trees but lake views nice and a few stands still open. Love my new top.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
On Sunday I joined my friend Geoff for a quick blast up our favorite twisty road. I've been on may drives with Geoff and his Lotus 7...

...and this time he took his Ford Cortina!




On our way home spotted a rubber bumper MGB...tried to roll him but he wasn't havin' it( see video)

Enjoy the Solex Sounds:

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Finally got some rain here in the Bay Area this weekend. Working in the attic area above my garage. No driving but I do have a nice roadster view

By Sunday it was dry enough to get out and drive

Met an amazing Father/Son duo today. Turns out they have lived in the same neighborhood for 15 years...even saw each other's cars on the road but only met in person on Thanksgiving day! I took Sora over and we had a great chat. Datsun Roadsters unite folks!

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
I agree, you meet the nicest folks. I'm 1000km (600+) miles from the border and find Bajaroadster from this forum. Enjoyed several beers and 80 degrees. Apologies to those dodging salt trucks. Fantastic guy (& his wife) and very nice 67.5! (yes, he drove it here and it burbles almost daily.)

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Always nice when a member makes it this far south. Was great to meet Dave Rieseck and Dave Murray, both members of this forum. Last year I got to meet with Ross Mullens and his lovely wife when they were travelling through the Baja. Any other members that would like to escape the cold weather for a bit , come on down for a visit. There is an international airport ten minutes from my door. Google Loreto B.C.S. for a preview of the area. Temps this time of year in the low 80's (F)
