I had a '70 Datsun 510 that was a great car. It was hard to keep on the
road tho' ... I always ended up going on logging trails and such.
Inevitably, I ended up bogged down, in my Sunday best, many miles into the
bush. The paint took a beating from the branches. Great car, albeit with
rusty front fenders. ( fibreglass were available. )
It ended up being my foul weather car while I had the 'B'.
