[Roadsters] Another Roadster on Craigslist

Tue Oct 16 22:21:12 MDT 2018

We had a blast doing a quick fun run up to Mt. Umunhum on Sunday! On Sunday
I drove up to Mt. Umunhum with Mike (bikermike) and his '67.5 SPL. My
friend Andy also joined us in his NB Miata.

I love this drive because its freshly paved and full of turns. If you can
get past the roughness of Hicks Rd., Umunhum is a dream to drive. I tried
to capture it, albeit with one hand:

I'll give you more of a heads up for the next Bay Area fun run, hopefully a
longer one!

Remember, DATSUNS ARE DRIVEN!
