Celebrate by taking a drive (or at least staring at it in the garage) for a bit today!

Before I can drive, I'm still waiting for rain to wash away road salt from the last snow, but I like the idea of at least running it in the driveway. It's starting to warm up around here, and I can't wait to ZOOMIE ! ...Happy 311 !

3/11 is, indeed, Datsun roadster day:

Also includes a good video on rebuilding a "steering" (sic) idler box.

Ha, cool... might not have noticed! Rain here likely today (all week too, but I'll take that over snow and ice any day unless I have no where to go) and I just fired her up the other day so she may remain quiet, but I hope others will be able to get out and drive! I will however go into the garage and tell her how much I love her... and keep working on my heat shield between the exhaust and intake manifold...
Cheers all!

70 degrees here in CNY today. I did go to the garage and take the covers off to stare at them for a bit.

Happy 311 Day!
Took Sora out for quick spin.
Solex roar, fuel smell, wind in air. Check!

Grrrrr…. Inches upon inches of snow in the forecast. Spring has not sprung up in these parts, but it has been teasing us. Last year I had the roadster out early April…
