>YOU MIGHT BE A DATSUN ROADSTER MANIAC IF .........
>1. Your email address refers to your roadster than to you.
Note my "correct" email address is walter@roadster.sps.mot.com
"omni" will replace roadster, as it is a mail server.
>2. It doesn't bother you to buy new roadster parts when you don't know
>where you put your spares.
What, we are spossed to use the spares first? No, I just "rotate"
the old stock and always keep things like floats, brake lines,
and other things in the garage in case someone in need stops by.
>3. You bought a second roadster before buying a house.
Of course!
>4. You spend the money to restore your roadster before buying furniture
>for the new house.
I have a new Carbeu car seat sitting in the family room. Isn't
that furniture?
>5. You're looking for a parts car and still haven't bought furniture.
Never can have enough.
>6. You find that you need a new house because your collection of
>roadsters has outgrown your garage.
Built a 10' x 18' shed to house a roadster, and spare's.
>7. You sit in your roadster in a dark garage and make car noises and
>shift, while waiting for your motor to get back from the machine shop.
Keeps the motivation up.
>8. Your garage holds more roadsters than your house has bedrooms.
Even par. Four bedroom house, four Datsun's around the house.
>9. You have enough roadster spare parts to build another car.
Of course.
>10. More than one roadster parts supplier recognizes your voice and
>greets you by name when you call.
You mean it is not my voice?
>11. You have roadster parts in your cubicle at work.
Only a few under my desk. Oh, I did build a distributor machine
for checking distributor curves... I'll keep it in the lab at
work.
Micheal's calender makes a nice addition to the cubical.
>12. Your Christmas list begins with a set of Koni shocks and Panasports
>for your roadster (and your significant other knows what these are).
Sigh, still waiting for the KONI's
>13. People know you by your roadster's year and color.
Excuse me, someone is knocking at my cubicle...
OF KIDS:
Picked up the latest fun machine. '99 Maxima SE. Basic package,
no sun roof, key fobs, but lots of fun.
Pulled up and picked up the kids at school. When I got home,
Liam (age 6) asked for me to pop the hood so he could see the
engine!
Emerson, 8,looked for a few minutes, and commented "I thought they
had four cylinders, glad you got the six cylinder".
Think it is in the gene's?
Cheers,
Tom Walter
