Re: Roadster Sightings
Reposting a recent Roadster sighting here.... no pics.
http://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.ph ... =+sighting
Spotted 6/17/14 stopped at a light around 7:45p this evening at Foothill Expy and Hillview in Palo Alto, a red Roadster with black wheels. It looked like a low windshield car. No front grill. CA Plate "THE-522" or something close.
Was it anyone here?

Re: Roadster Sightings
Yes a guy on FB posted about some problems he was having on Road trip. But did not get a definitive answer on FB. Might be coil, but he was unsure of coil part #. He has an EI. Too bad he didn't post to the List for an answer. Anyway looks like he got a tow, vacation over.
Good to carry spares

Re: Roadster Sightings
I was out in my Roadster today and saw this old one on a trailer. In Mesa, Arizona.
Don't know anything about it or where its going?
It looks to me like a early Roadster, but not sure what year. (Early due to exposed hinges on trunk).

Roadster Sightings - Bonsall, CA - Labor Day
I spotted a shiny red roadster on Labor Day, headed west on Hwy. 76 in Bonsall, CA. I only saw it for about one second (I was headed in the opposite direction), but I'm pretty sure it was a high window model, top was up, and had fog lights. I didn't catch if it was a 1600 or 2000. Was that someone from this forum?

Re: Roadster Sightings
Indiana roadsters?
Passed a silver 2000 (judging by grill) in NW Indy/Brownsburg (86th/1000N) this afternoon; I pointed and gave emphatic out-window-thumbs-up as i drove by (in blue sedan).
Believe it or not... it's the first roadster I've ever seen in person (other than my project)--and relatively close to my house to boot.
