hi andy, thanx for the help, i'll check it out. have you heard the story
of how the datsun roadsters came to be nicknamed Fairlady? nissan/datsun
had execs in the usa at the time, they attended a broadway production of
My Fair Lady. one of them was infatuated with the leading lady of the
play, and promised to name a car after her. don't know if he got lucky on
that one, but hence the name.. thanx, Cya
