New addition to the garage...

[Zedyone_kenobi]

Well after a while soul searching an many long drives I came to grips that I think the Z is at a stopping point. I will continue my projects until she is closer to 99.9% done, but I had to snag this up. Will be wiring money to the guy this week. We eshook hands and the deal is finished.

Meet the Z's new mistress in the garage...

Awesome. There seems to be lots of roadster action in my area. Not sure why, but I'm always seeing stuff on Craigslist near me.

I've never driven a roadster so I don't know anything about them other than they're pretty. Are they "unrefined" in the creature comfort category? And what's the performance reputation?

[Zedyone_kenobi]

Here is the crazy thing. I have never driven one either, but I have heard wonderful things. I just fell in love with the looks, and Datsun knows how to build a great driving car.

As far as performance goes, A 2000 with webers make 150 HP. Same as a 240Z. So it should be a fast little car.

Haha!! So you didn't know any more than I did and you bought one! Kudos!!

I think I might have done the same thing, but I'm officially out of room.

[Captain Obvious]

And they are pretty... In my mind, I put them in the same category as the Fiat Spyder, the Sunbeam, the MGB's, and others. Toyota made a roadster very similar as well. I'd never seen one of those before and just met a guy near me that has more than one.

[rossiz]

nice! looks super clean.

i remember having soooo much fun in my mom's '74 mg midget back in high school - the little car effect: felt like you were doing 80 all the time, even when you were doing 40 ;}

That is beautiful! I love the white with the black top and the Panasports. Classy and sporty, I love it! Congrats on the purchase.

Is the car from the SF Bay Area? I almost went to look at one locally that could be it's twin. They are great cars!
