[Roadsters] NIssan needs to be made aware of what the Roadster did for their History

[BARTERDUDE at aol.com]

Got this from one of the roadster enthusiasts.  Can you believe this  BS, 
if it wasn't for the roadster the Z car wouldn't have come to  fruition.  We 
need to start a campaign to get these snot nosed young pukes  who don't know 
about the roadster, some education:
 
   Unfortunately,  Nissan USA is not planning anything stateside according 
to a corporate affairs  person in Tennessee.  The fellow I spoke this 
morning said he would check  with Nissan Japan, but he had not heard of anything 
there,  either.
 
Chatting a bit, he didn't really  have a reason as to why the company's not 
celebrating the 311.  He didn't  exhibit much knowledge about the car in 
the first place, but noted it "didn't  catch on" like the Z, which formed the 
basis for its 40th anniversary promotion  by the automaker.
 
Anyone know contacts at Nissan in Japan to build a fire?
