Was a pretty good turnout Saturday, wish I could have stayed but I atleast made it down this year.

 

To those I could not find sorry I missed you and to those I found good to see you again.

 

Nice to finally meet Mrbigtanker in person ....even if he did tow his truck there...and got beat by a 6yo in connect 4....

He is up by  one game only. I did win the the third game. And I gave him a nice gift for winning.

I had a great first Canby (but they would not let me park inside the fence?!?!?!) I was really impressed with how many Datsuns there were!

 

I actually got to meet DatsunMike, Draker, MrBigTanker, Ted (thanks for the transmission), Wayno (thanks for the T-Case and conversation), Nanners, and others (note the order of this list is completely arbitrary).

 

I now have the stuff I need to put my Datsuns back on the road so I may see you guys at other meets this year (blue lake maybe?)

 

Can't wait for the cool vids that are being made.

Nice seeing a lot of you again next time I'm taking only one Datsun as much as I love to sharing my Datsuns with everyone Its a pain the ass at times. Both datsuns made it home with no issues. It was the first time I let my gf drive any of my datsuns especially my 200sx and she fell in love with it.

I want to know​ what Morton thought when you guys handed him a Prius, of all things, to sign.

 

 

Too funny. Prius is now hanging on my wall in the garage.

 

 

Short version .. After going over a few different wordings John Morton said "i got something"  layed the matchbox car on table and came up with all the wording you got on the thing himself ,, smiled a big ass grin and handed back to me.. 

 

 

 

 

After at least 3 times of me and FAT510 chickening outs.. :lol:  we noticed him with just one person so .

   We went in thinking just something off the wall but safe like "Flatcat,, sorry you couldn't make show,, get well soon,, idiot" Signed Mario Andretti .. 

   SOOO after we convinced him we weren't completely fucking insane, and that since you were a hardcore hotwheels collector having a matchbox was even more of a dig.. He smiled and thought what we were doing was somewhat funny so he played along.  We discussed "racier" ones,,, one of his included you being called an ass,,, but the young woman next to him gave him the  "are you crazy" look ,, so he thought he shouldn't sign his name to that. We laughed and agreed..   So the discussion changed to why would you even want this,,  and Ratsun came up and trolling each other in general .. He said he heard of that word alot but didn't really know what i meant,  so us and the young lady explained it was when some gives people a hard time or starts shit for their own entertainment,,,, that's when he smiles and said " i got something" 

 

Boom

How random and rare of a collectible to behold than a Datsun racing legends signature on a fucking Prius.

 

 

Appreciate it. That's too cool. Beyond what I could have expected from you.
