Message-ID: There is a great thread started on 311s.org, about who you met while driving your roadster. Here are a few stories/encounters that were memorable, all starting with a drive in my roadster. SR20s and Llamas In 2010 I was driving my roadster towards the freeway near my home. A red Infiniti G20 stopped at an intersection next to me and the driver started chatting. We both replied that neither of our cars were stock and pulled into a Jack in the Box parking lot to check our rides out. The owner belonged to an internet forum for the G20 cars and was on his way to a G20 gathering. Later that day I would learn that he was the owner/proprietor of G20.net! He invited me to join him and drive the roadster to the meet, saying the members would get a kick out of it once they saw what was under the hood. (the Infiniti/Nissan Sentra series had SR20 drivetrains). I happily obliged. The meeting place was waaay up in the South foothills. Great driving roads http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06055.jpg Next thing I know I'm at a private residence. That also happens to be a llama farm. With more than a dozen Nissan/Infiniti SR20-powered cars on the long driveway and garage area. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06066.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06069.jpg It was weird. But what a great group of folks. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06079.jpg What was crazier is that an old friend was there. Scott Higashi drove his SR20VE-powered B13 Sentra over 150miles from Northern CA to be at this meet. It was so good to see him. He was a roadster owner many years ago. He is wearing the hat and red shirt below. Sadly, Scott passed away in 2014, may he rest in peace. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/higashi2.jpeg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06054.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC06062.jpg After a great BBQ (have you ever tried a llama burger?) a few of us went for a drive on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I've met some wonderful folks through my roadster. Let's hear your stories! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
