Russ-
Wow, sorry to hear about your truck. Just glad no one got hurt.
The show was great! Initially there was fear of rain, but Friday and
Saturday turned out to be beautiful days. We attended the both Friday night
and Saturday. There was more interest by on lookers than I had anticipated.
Quite a few came up and told about the roadster they used to have.... Even
while cruising the Center on Saturday night I heard several people yell
"Datsun 1600!!" from the crowded streets.
You would have enjoyed it!
I stayed Saturday night and drove back this morning with my girlfriend-IN
THE RAIN. I should add that my car has no top or working wipers, but I
found if you keep the speed above 75 the interior stays pretty dry ;-)
Thanks for the reply Russ. We will have to get the cars together sometime.
