- Yeah, we handle basket cases like you, too! The FIAT was up on my list when I decided on the Datsun. It wins on looks - except that I think that the boot sticks out just a *little* too much - and app

- I think your experience with different cars over the years helps explain this broader view. I started with Triumph TR-3's in the mid 70's, and feel lucky to still be alive after having a hood come u

- Interesting comments about rust. Ny roadster was restored 5 years ago with a full body off re-build. The PO took lots of pictures of the work in progress, and after 25 years, I must say there was ver

- For the record. I just bought a 72 Fiat 124 spyder, and my Datsun will be up for sale in the spring. Not that I prefer one over the other....but....the Fiat has a small backseat and I have three smal

- FIAT - Feeble Italian Attempt at Technology For what it is worth, I like them too. X 1/9s are funky but handle GREAT. All that they need is a little more power and they are AWESOME autocross cars. Si

- Have you driven a low-screen Datsun? Has anyone had this problem with the early cars? It's not something I ever thought of. Also, note that bodyshape can be different for different people. I know som

- Don't give up on the miata for that reason alone. The M1 version has more legroom, and the seat can be "fixed" to allow more headroom and legroom. It involves cutting a thick extra part of foam out
