I met Ken in 2021 by chance near the Bay Trail by my work. He was walking
his dog and noticed I was driving Sora. Ken was a huge car enthusiast, and
fellow Datsun Roadster owner.
His '70 SRL:

He also owned several race cars:

I bumped into Ken on a Thanksgiving Day drive up at Alice's Restaurant. He
was in his Porsche 912, totally excited to share photos of his stable with
others:

He is survived by his wife Ruth(below)

Rest in Peace, Ken

I have not driven a manual transmission car in 52 days due to a leg injury.
Yesterday donned my ankle brace and fired up Sora for a quick drive.
Running through the gears, hearing the Solexes roar and the aroma of fuel
all reminded me how therapeutic classic cars are. Shhh?don?t tell my doctor!

Hi all
I have been neglecting my Datsun ,but it is time to get it on the road again. I was at the Solvang years ago and saw that the brakes can be upgraded to either Volvo or Datsun parts. Which is better and is there a better option that I should look at? Also the reason it is not running is the fuel pump . I was thinking about installing a new electric one?, suggestions ?
Thanks for your help with this.

Good morning,

I have changed my email address. Does anyone know who I contact at the Roadsters Club to have this information updated?

Thank you and enjoy your rides,
