Hi everyone,

This is my introduction:

I like Datsun Roadsters and currently own a couple of 212's and a 69 1600
(being put back together).  My father-in-law bought the car in the mid 60's
later gave it to my wife and I.  Visit my website.

I recently began to show my 212 (Solvang, CA & Z Nationals, Orange, CA).  I
am going to continue showing the 212 as much as possible.  I entered the 212
in the Pep Boys Virtual Show.  Who knows, maybe we'll put the 212 at
Petersen's Museum over the weekend (if I get enough votes).

Andy, I guess the chrome jobs will depend on how deep your pockets are...
:-)
