It was a good show, the sun was out,
sailboats about (winter is almost over?)
and it seemed like a hundred cars showed
up. Including what seemd like scores of
Japan domestic market RHD vehicles came
down from Vancouver (mostly Sylvias and
Skylines).

Anyways, here's the 1200 report:


The old Datsuns didn't get much attention,
I think a lot of the kids didn't realize they
were made by Nissan.

Looks like a good venue. I'm feeling sleepless just looking at the photos... Do you know of any other places that have a photo report of the event?

Young kids ...

My Dad took my 1200 to the wheel alignment place the other day... A young guy from the workshop raced up to him and asked "cool car, what is it???"

Are we getting old? Maybe...

At least he didn't say "It has a carburetor, I've read about those". But I'm sure that day is coming ...

The show ended less than 2 hours ago, so far only three pics, but worth a look nontheless: Northwest Datsun Enthusiasts. WARNING: non-Datsun1200 related.


The vintage Datsuns that got a lot of attention either had 17" wheels or an SR20 engine ... I guess that makes an old car understandable, like "I recognize that part".

Quote:Sounds risky. The last time I let my mom drive my 1200, it was two years before she let me have it back. She drove that 1200 everywhere ...

VIDEO of Golden Gardens 2006. My white 1200 2-dr sedan is at the beginning in the parking lot as we leave to travel to the Gardens.

Video focuses on the S-cars (Silvia and Skyline). Has an old rock soundtrack.
