For anyone in the SF Bay Area, I thought I'd point you to an event: the 8th annual Danville d'Elegance in Danville, CA. This is a premier event, benefiting research for Parkinson's Disease, and is extremely well attended by amazing cars from around the State. Check the link here:

I will be there with a few cars, including my '68 Datsun 2000 Roadster aka: "The Red Rocket". There will be a couple of Z cars as well that I know of, so if you'd like to join in, sign up!
Everything comes out for this, from pre-war vintage, to old race cars, to 60's muscle and new exotics and even Japanese vintage! Check out the gallery of pics from prior years here:

Bring out your SPL / SRL, and maybe we can outnumber the British roadsters! If you don't want to show your car, just come out and look - that part is free, and downtown Danville is a great spot in September!

I've always wanted to go to this. We will be driving down to LA for the JCCS show that weekend, so for everyone that's staying in the Bay Area go to this show

I dig well-organized local car shows. Although I'm not registered, I will try to attend this event on Sunday. I'll look for your cars Dave.

I'll be there Sunday and will try to be there for the parade at 11am. Hope to see you there Eddie. I'll keep an eye out for the Datsun Dog!

I saw you headed north this morning on 101 a little north of Prunedale. I'd say it was about 0730 or so. I was southbound in my e30 M3 to go racing in Marina. I was surprised to see a roadster out and about that early in the morning.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!
