Your right Jim! I believe we can collectively change the perception of the
value of our cars.
If everyone would write to various car magazines and tell them we would like
to see articles on Datsun roadsters.
Some of the more talented people on this list could even write and submit
the articles and supply the photos.
We would see a noticeable change as people became aware of just how special
a roadster is.These cars deserve to be shown for the fast, nimble and
reliable cars they are. This must be a positive campaign that would target
the major magazines. Z-car mag is just getting started so I would not
consider them a great influence on the marketplace at this time. I have
been collecting URLs and photos for over a years now and the wealth of
knowledge available on the Net is amazing. Now if we can get the media to
look at events like Shasta and different road racing events we can increase
the awareness of other car buffs. That's my 2 cents.
