Happy 5/10 Day

Time to celebrate the Datsun 510. Does Hallmark make cards for this occasion?

Dude, that's a one way ticket to the dog house.

Yeah no kidding...

I've been driving my 510 wagon for 25 years. With 5 other vehicles, it is still my daily-driver.

Did you give it a card on Mother's Day?

The local 510 club came to the ~Jefferson 500 Vintage~ two weeks ago.

Here's some pics (I was half-owner in a 510 ProRally car about 25 years ago).

I tell you the 510 still ranks very highly on my list of vintage racers I'd love to own.

Have my eye on a project car, but no room at the inn.

Maybe I should shed my Triumph badge and go Datsun?

You are right it is a mother, but no card.....

Thanks for the great 510 pix. Here in the Daytona area, I think I have seen one other 510 on the road in the last ten years!

It sounds like you are thinking very clearly. This is the best thought you have had all week. How can you go wrong with a Datsun?

If your wife is against the 510, please pass the lead over to me.

Since they don't exist around here anymore and I'll likely never own one, I created an homage instead. This is the paint job on my race car:

Car is in Canada :) With history so the sell is not likely to let to leave the country. He is holding on to it till the right buyer shows up.

I'm open to all cars, but like the Spit or GT6 due to my knowledge of the chassis... Still life is about learning.

We'll see what happens in the next yr or so.

If we buy a larger house I might snap it up and work on it over time.

Can't afford a new mortgage and racing 3-4 times year.

Last Friday when we brought my wife's new '09 Miata home, I took this shot to compare old & new Japanese Technology. I thought my daily-driver 510 was small & red, but her car is smaller & "Redder"!!<img src="" />
