I want to share another Datsun roadster story with you all. My son 
Daniel is attending the San Francisco Academy of Arts. He was talking to 
school director, Tom Motano, designer of the first generation Miata, and 
I believe third generation RX7. The subject turned to Fairladys. Tom, 
has his own SRL311  story! He was in Tokyo, just turned 16 and had just 
gotten his license. The next day he went to a local car rental place and 
asked if he could rent a 2L. It was a low windshield 67.5 with a 5 
speed.  He was told that they don't rent those cars to kids who just got 
their license. But they admired his courage so they let him rent one 
against policy. Twenty  minutes later Tom got his first speeding ticket, 
and lost his license for three months!  :-O
