Finally met Alvin! Great time cruising up and down Highway 9 with a beautiful sunset as always. Giving me serious seconds thoughts on selling the car...

Great meeting you Peter!
Hot summer evening in San Jose. Last Wednesday I met up with Peter and his 1967.5 SPL. We did a quick blast up Skyline. Chatted at the vista point until mosquitoes ambushed us. Loved the silver/red combo and JT Stainless (twin-pipe) exhaust.
Switched roadsters. It was refreshing to drive a stock 1600, and reminded me how cool these cars are.
Enjoy the pictures and video

Alvin, how do you manage to catch video while driving? Do you have a GoPro or something, just curious. Thanks

Just looks like so much fun! What a blast. Both cars look like "keepers" to me!

Great question I'm embarrassed to answer.
I use my iphone 99.9% of the time in every video you've seen me post from my roadster. I recently got a GoPro Hero black 7 that I used for a few clips in the video above. Don't laugh, but I failed to mount it to the car with a suction cup. I just held it. At around ~1minute in the video above you can see me holding it with my right hand via the mirror

My intention with the drive was to have Peter "keep" it
Exhaust sounds good and looks fantastic JT
