Information, map

Are you going? If so we could maybe meet up.

I plan on it. Friday or Saturday. Maybe both days!

A little far away for me, let me know if any 1200's, B210's and 610's show up, also 710's, I would'nt mind getting a 710, love that round shape, racy stance, makes a nice modified street car.

Jaime, I'll keep an eye out for 610 & 710 cars. Of course I'm always on alert for B110 & B210s ...

I had to drive out of my way today to look at some local 1200s ... just a drive by ...

reminder, it's this Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

There is a write up on the 2003 meet here.

recap: the springtime weather was fine and sunny, around 75 degrees (23 celsius).

Unfortunately, there were even less 1200 parts this year. However, I did buy:

- elusive 280Z hood emblem ("Datsun" badge)

- 1200 repair manual by SP out of Sydney, Australia

- 1971 Motor Trend Magazine that had a "new car guide" that listed the 1200 along with a photo (25 cents)

I only saw a few 13" wheels and tires this time, including:
- a nice set of 5.5 inch slotted mags (jelly beans) for $80
- a set of three 6-inch wide Chromadora magnesium wheels ($130, but sold! already)
- a couple sets of black-center alloy 14" Enkeis (classic style)
- six 175/60R13s for $60 (two brand new, I should have bought them)

But for the car-crazy person, it was a great experience. Literally thousands of cars for sale, from a 1918 Oakland to a hot-rod 1926 Dodge to '60 Edsel up to "newer" muscle cars like 454SS Chevrolets and Shelby Mustangs. Quite a few british roadsters and volkswagens, but the only Datsuns I saw were several Z-cars. Oh and several L-series engines and a couple of Z18s.
