We had taken the car to dinner in Scottsdale, right on the main drag. There were a couple of Lamborghinis and a Ferrari among the Teslas and Mercedes parked and being valeted. Where was the crowd looking at cars? Around a little red Japanese car of course. It was fun letting my wife answer questions and tell the story of how we found it and put it together. This is the car that we found underneath a tree in the high desert of Arizona. There was an engine in the car but it was in the front seat, the transmission was in the trunk. Lots of help from the group here and 311s.org. My quick story is that for years I had told myself that I'd lose 100lbs and buy myself a sports car. I've dropped 175lbs and my wife ended up with the sports car. It is well worth it though; just watching her have fun with the thing is a joy. Anyway, its fun to have people acknowledge the car and appreciate the effort we've put in to it. BTW, my wife put in at least as many hours as I did, she earned the right to say the car is hers.

Since this year's show is postponed I'll be posting images/memories from past shows. I will miss the friends, family and cars from my favorite annual classic car show! Fun Fact: 2003 was the first year the show was held in downtown Solvang! Prior events were at Nojoqui Falls Park. Solvang 2012 http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Solvang2012.jpg Todd and EveAnn Osborn with their '68 SRL in 2003. They organized this inaugural downtown show! http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/OSborns.jpg Bob Klemme in his '67 2000 race car at Solvang 2006 http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Klemme.jpg Wet and Wild! Solvang 2015 was a deluge...but the show went on! http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Solvang2015.jpg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As many of you know, the domain team.net was officially registered on April 11, 1991, by the late Bill Caloccia.? I have been managing the mailing lists on autox.team.net since then, actually for a while before that.? I took over? from Jim Muller, who took over from Dale Cook, and I wish I had archives of those first few years.? Actually I may have some in my office, on 1/4 inch tape cassettes.? Every now and then I consider trying to revive some of the old HP-UX boxes I have to see if I can still read any of those tapes.? Maybe someday. Anyway, in the beginning I was routing everything through the servers at the University of Utah Computer Science Department, where I was employed.? When my fellow sys admins started noticing just how much network traffic there was on a certain box, my boss strongly suggested I make other arrangements.? So I went about getting a network connection at home.? Back then, it was not that easy, or cheap.? And as I recall, the first dedicated Team Net server was an HP box with one of the first 100+ megahertz CPUs, and even with a deal through HP, who worked closely with the U in those days the system set me back about $2,500.? Hardware has improved since then.? And that money didn't all come out of my pocket, I initiated a fund drive among the list members and got a great response.? Back then it was all checks in the mail, and I mailed a thank you postcard to every contributor, or at least most of them, no doubt I missed a few.? And for some time there was an annual fund drive to cover the rather high cost of having sufficient bandwidth from my house. So here it is 29 and just everybody has fast network available to them.?? I dropped the fund drives some years back, though folks do continue to contribute to the cause.? Now a few clicks in Paypal can take care of it, though some still prefer to send checks. Yep, things are different now.? And with the Covid-19 pandemic, a LOT different.? But the Team Net mailing lists are still chugging along, providing those spending more time at home a bit of distraction, entertainment or education as we keep our beloved vehicles rolling along the roads. I plan to keep it going as long as I can, who knows how many years I have left.? April 11th is also my birthday, 66 this year, and I certainly won't live forever.? And I fear that when I die, Team Net will die.? Sigh. But for now, enjoy and stay healthy. mjb.

Around this time, everyone would be preparing cars and planning trips. For me, it's almost a ritual. A pilgrimage. Way more than just a car show. From the butterflies in my stomach as I approach that roadster-lined street early morning...to simply placing a name to a face with fellow owners...I love this show.

Like old times, today I made a blast down to the little Danish town on my way to a friend's. Saturday in Solvang is typically bustling, but not on this early morning: Somber was word with vacant hotel lots and closed signs on all bakery's. Despite the lack of dozens of roadsters and people, hazard tape all over Main St. Park and missing lunch with Ron Eastman+SocalROC, I immediately pretended it was The Datsun Roadster Show day with some staged photos and places I've always wanted to park in front of but never had a chance...I even hopped over a gate like usual to get the shot. And just like that...I arrived back home this evening in San Jose, 612 miles later. #WhenWillThisSR20Break More on my adventurous roadtrip back from Solvang shortly, enjoy! 1st Street The site of the Datsun Roadster Show: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5623-scaled.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5625-scaled.jpg My FAVORITE spot for breakfast during the Solvang Show http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5658-scaled.jpg My "gangster" shot from the balcony above Fitzpatrick's Tavern...imagine the entire street filled with roadsters and people http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5630-scaled.jpg Near Paula's Pancake House: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5591-scaled.jpg 1st and Copenhagen....the Nexus of the Datsun Roadster Universe http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5648-scaled.jpg Those lovely Santa Ynez Mtns. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5673-scaled.jpg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I arrived at 6:30am and explored the empty streets: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5625-scaled.jpg You can see more Solvang pics over here: https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=306034#p306034 http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/323A8962.jpg As cool as it was to visit Solvang, it was not my primary destination on this trip. I left Solvang and headed back up North to Paso Robles to meet at my friend Kevin's home. Kevin recently listed his 1969 SPL known here as "Spike" and I wanted to join the new owner (Raj) as he picked up the roadster. When I arrived, Raj, his family and Kevin were already getting familiar with Spike: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5696-scaled.jpg A little background on Raj, I met him through Francis around 2001. Raj had a 510 with a KA24DE and a '68 SRL, both regretfully sold. He's currently building an SR20DET-powered 510: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Image010.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Image004-e1588029130602.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-26-at-8.37.20-PM.jpg Raj's interest was grounded on the importance of having a roadster that was ready to drive, mechanically proven. Cosmetics were not a priority. Spike was perfect, and you may have seen my rave review of the car here: https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=301542#p301542. Kevin helped load up the soft top and a comprehensive set of spares--one of which included the coveted competition Aluminum oil pan. Kevin described how he removed it because of the heavy rallye/street use Spike saw....yes we had a brief chuckle about my comp pan mishap :) http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5692-scaled.jpg Unlike the usual car purchase exchange, Spike was not trailered or shipped, it wasn't babied or light-footed back home with its new owner. Raj simply carried the torch and drove it like he stole it. Kevin and Heather kindly helped with the transition by leading us on a fun run via Peachy Canyon Rd out to 46 where Raj and I would begin our coastal journey. Raj and son Brian heading out on Peachy Canyon Rd. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5697-scaled.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5707-scaled.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5717-scaled.jpg It was genuinely hard for Kevin and Heather to let go of Spike. I think this send-off put them at ease: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5721-scaled.jpg And that's exactly what he did, Kevin and Heather handed him the keys and we embarked on an epic fun run up the coast via HWY1 back home. I had to be there for the changing of hands of Spike, and to escort Raj back in true, Datsun roadster fun-run style.

Raj was blown away and all smiles . Enjoy the video: https://youtu.be/eTyLxRyd7j4 Kevin listed Spike on 311s to the community first, with what i thought was a ridiculously low asking price...but this was one of those transactions not based soley on squeezing cents.When I found out that Raj was seriously interested I knew I had to be there and thought why not celebrate with a nice drive back home...a taste of more funs runs that Raj can join us on in the future! I'm stoked and so is Raj. I'm also (not so) secretly happy to see Spike staying local, so maybe i can grab the keys once in awhile. :) http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_5676-scaled.jpg My roadster is filthy and the SR20 continues to impress me after all these years with no signs of dying...612 miles within 12hrs and only two tanks of gas. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/323A8931-e1588030470123.jpg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Glad to see that Spike has found a new family.? Pics of lone car on Solvang streets are sad but beautiful.? As a laugh, maybe Harlan could post one of them on the Solvang site as the 2020 "get together" photo.? Car show - population: 1.If there's a silver lining to all of this, it's that I've been getting loads of work done on my car, and even some house projects to keep the boss happy.? I'm sure I'm not the only one.? We should have even more cars next year, and with more 'shelter in place' inspired fixes and mods!Erik null -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you have pics of the process or any details on what they did? My 68 Solex Roadster is almost ready for paint and I would like to also update my port hole window hard top. Are the side windows behind the door custom cutouts? Looks like the top was built up around the rear window??? Any tips/info will be appreciated. Recent work on my roadster includes full engine rebuild with all parts matched and balanced (85K original miles), NOS late model Solex (replaced the original old style Solex), Evans waterless coolant, new heater core - valve - cables, seats stripped to metal and rebuilt/reupholstered, all new interior carpet and panels., new wheel bearings and suspension wear parts all around, new calipers and rear cylinders, new lines, new shoes/pads, new rotors, new comp front springs and sway bar, new fiberglass rear springs, new Bilstein adjustable shocks, chassis coated, body work done, etc. Hope to get to painting soon.. Being in San Diego, I never use a top, but would like to make it look nice in case I ever do. Thanks / Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
