Wow, not -THE- Phill Brook, famed authour of the "Fair Lady"? <g> Too short
a notice plus I have other plans that weekend. However, if the roadster bug
bites me, there's always next year!
I trust someone will take and post some pics. I've found a few from the 2002
and 2003 gathering that had me drooling.
Cheers.
Pete

Hi Pete.
Welcome to the roadster list.
There are a lot of good roadster resources in your part of the US. With
Rallye Enterprises close by and Sports Imports in the east of the state plus
the North-West Datsun Enthusiast club you should be able to get plenty of
help.
On the 9th and 10th of July there is a large roadster gathering at Mt Shasta
in Northern California. I'm heading over from Australia and I believe there
will be also about a dozen representatives from Japan.
If Gordon Glasgow makes contact, he is a handy contact. He is a Seattle
local and like me he has a 1966 model (1600) with 2-litre conversion.
Personally, I prefer the more "classic" look of the low screen cars.
Regards,
Phill Brook
