how old were you when you got your 1st roadster?

Post by Import_sounds-of-mid-GA »

thought it would be cool to see all the ages and such.......... let me begin, I got my 69 SRL when I was 14. I got it from my grandfather who had it since '84 and stop driving it in '88.... left it with 47000 orig. miles in a field for 17(+/-) years.

I started off at 14 as well. In pieces but there! Luckily it had the original engine taken apart as well but very usable. Fresh paint that had suffered layers of dust, and dings and small dents from the shop. By the time i was 15 I had it running I just turned 16 and I still cant drive it(legally).

I was 28 when I got my roadster, which was just last year. I got my Z at 18 though which started the whole Datsun thing.

It was 1975 and I was 17 when I got my first Roadster, a Sora Blue 64 Fairlady. I sold it in 1976, then #2 arrived in 1978, a 68 spl, and I'm still having fun in it 27 years later.

52 (last year). Bought it for my wife, but she decided the memory (she had a '66 1600 during early '70s) was better than the real thing, so it's mine. Now I'm trying to figure out how to buy another one plus a 510 wagon.

--- RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!! --- :twisted:

Arnold: you need to create a IMG link to a server where the pictures are. Many servers (like Webshots) will not let you do that, which is why Alvin and others post URL links to their pics. Steve (aka Mister Webmaster :P ) can help ya.
