As datsunmike mentioned in another post, maybe some of us come here to 
talk (or at least listen and learn) about these little cars we love - as 
a temporary shelter from some of life's harsher realities.  It's called 
the "Datsun Roadster List" for a reason - the other stuff I can get 
elsewhere, if I want - but this is the only place where it is "All 
Datsun - All The Time".

P.S. - After a massive cleanup of my garage a couple of weeks back, I at 
last have working access to my Roadster. There's hope that she'll see 
the road again under her own power by next spring!
