Thread revival:
I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but Black Friday IS the day after Turkey Day, so---- to get those good deals, here's some suggestions:

1. Let's just get it out of the way first off, the 12 volt blanket- various sources. The only thing better would be a Datsun 12 volt blanket.
2 JBL Flip or similar small portable Bluetooth speaker. Great for travelling and deters crackheads from going for a stereo since you can remove or hide.
3. Car detailing gift certificate
4.Cafepress items found on this site--shirts, hats etcs
5. Datsun hats, mugs, blankets etc with your own photos. Walmart photo kiosks have various products.
6. Seat heaters
7 car cover
8 Roadster calender
And??????
Post your ideas here

Not saying I'm forgetful, but a couple of these might help getting on the road without those embarrassing delays looking for keys and wallet.

....got one of these last year from the boss. She is awesome!!

and now to add to the list...

a GoPro is a neat thing.
maybe a garmin?
how about a set of two piece EMPIs?
or a set of center caps there for?
new tie rods?
a new center link?

I'd add a set of KONIs but that is pretty crazy money right now.

I like the custom T-shirt idea. Or buy a T-shirt here (not here, me, but here on 311/Cafepress).

I suggest the real Christmas gift is not an accessory, at all.

It is the gift received in spending more time on the road in our Datsun roadster.

That is the gift that keeps on giving.

AMEN!
It has been nearly 2 months since I took part in a local rally.
Now that I have my windshield frame back, I can look forward to some summer drives for Christmas :)

You know, going by what Bob said as a gift to to a roadster owner, hotel and dinner reservations about 150-250 miles up a scenic road from home would be ideal.

you sir, are doomed to get coal unless you apologize to the old man. Never upset the Christmas Karma. Best to leave out cookies, hot cocoa, and, just to be safe, a nice IPA or two.

A road rally registration, or motel reservation, for one such as the SoCalTT, which is free.
