I drove to work on Friday. It was 37F when I left in the morning but it was
bearable doing 75-80mph top down. Why subject myself to unnecessary wind
chill? I was going to meet a Ed, a new Datsun Roadster!

Ed recently acquired this '69 SRL, powered by a hot-rodded L-Series with
Mikuni induction. It even has (imperceptible) widened steel wheels!

We were able to hang for a bit in the evening talking Datsuns. Really happy
for Ed as he's smitten with the car, previously owned by racer/enthusiast

We didn't have time for a drive but I made a short video of our meeting,
and Ed left his mark with a nice burnout :lol:

The 9pm drive home from SSF to San Jose made me miss my hardtop dearly but
hey, it's part of the adventure when you #doitinadatsun =F0=9F=A5=B6
