I finally got my head and my computer ( which is only marginally more intelligent than my ECU) around this groups thing so here i am . we need to meet some of you northerners sometime for a datto frenzy, some of us are willing to drive, would you belive it. glad to see pics of your new (my old) cherry wombat, looks good. you shold here from me again soon. as soon as i can get some more kerosene to run the computer.
bye now

EFI 240K coupe, 240k coupe off road monster, 120y coupeQuote:

Thanks people its been a good respone so far. Now all I need to do is get it out into the main stream.

I am in the process of letting some of the car clubs know about the group and am going to see if I can put a few flyers around anywhere. (Autobarn, supercheap etc).

the more people that join the better the info and knowledge of parts around the state. plus if any one is wishing to sell/buy car/s we will know where to find them.

I went and signed up, under another name though (existing yahoo username)....
twr510, from when I was playing with a 1600, before I saw the light....!!

Yeah him and also Dat16 is a datsun owner here.... Theres more so everyone who knows people on this site who are from tassie give this thing a plug could you?
It would be great to get this off the ground!!

Good luck with your group as it could be just what you need.
There was an attempt at a Datsun site in Canberra i think, [turbodatto??] but it looks to have folded due to a lack of interest there.

Keep our old 'Datsuns alive in good old Van Diemans Land. Come to think of it, whatever happened to "Luv_my_68_wagon_1000". Hes a Tasmanian & another possible candidate for your group.

edit... I finally got Ruo's site name right.

hi wombat racing
I think thats a great idea, as I would love to meet other tassie datto owners and talk about datsuns, and where to find parts and hard to find bits.
I own 2 120y coupe's in launceston which are both in immaculate condition.
Anyway hope to chat soon.

GO THE DATTO!

Sorry, fair enough. It must be hard being a 100/120A (Cherry) owner. There are only a few about.

Good luck with your group.

Chris

The group is for all Datsun owners not just a certain model types.

Im not trying to steal members or anything I have just found it can be hard to find or track down parts or cars in Tasmaina.

I dont know of many 100A owners in Australia and until recently thought I was the only owner in Tassie. (found another owner down in the south). If there was a group like the one Im setting up Maybe I would have know earlier.(I now own that car also).

Why can't you do all of that here? Yahoo is pretty crappy in many ways. This group started at Yahoo in 1998. And I'm really happy that we don't need to go there anymore.

Yahoo's way of dealing with us there when they converted to yahoo groups, was just horrible. I vowed to never login to another yahoo site ever... But I like Yahoo Japan auctions unfortunately (no japan ebay), so I limit my yahoo interaction to that.

So there you go.

Chris

I'm from Sydney, but I'd be happy to plan to come on down for a good cruise or carshow in tassie.

Great idea mate i was thinking of something along these lines myself...
We need to organise meets and whatnot to get the dying breed to share their pride and joys with one another!!

I will definatley join and so should ALL of you tassie datsun owners!
