I am amazed that you keep the hardtop on so much.

To be FAIR - it IS a beautiful hardtop - and the weather in NoCAL has not yet really caught up with SoCAL

A Beautiful Day in the Seattle area. Up to 78!. Amazing.
Got 4 of the DROPS Roadsters out for a 60 mile loop through the Cascade Foothills.
Two of us took a longer "warm up" route to the drive and got in a 166 mile drive.
As you can see from the board we are not getting hosed as bad as the Californians for gas.
Got more picture opportunities with last of the blooming cherry trees.
Mt Rainier in the back of the picture with the all 4 roadsters.

A few more years and I must look for a battery swap instead of a SR20 swap.
How is the 1500 running Ted?

Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

That looks good Richard, I drove today as well in the neighborhood with the white one day plates.
It looks that the most teething troubles are over. Thursday he goes to the car inspection.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Drove to cars and coffee and met up w/ Datsun65. Beautiful day in Houston and will probably have been the best meet of the year - weather wise.
