This is more of a "Well, it looked like a roadster" kinda post...
Wife heads off to work this morning and 30 mins later I get a text: "
Hey, there's a car for sale you might be interested in over on Moorpark near the freeway entrance". (Like I need the encouragement for yet another car?? Laff...)
Me: "What kind of car is it?"
Her: "Not sure, looks like your Datsun."
Me: "Which one!?"
Her: "Oh yeah... the roadster."
I ambled over on my way back from visiting my S30 at the shop (undergoing some "no-parts-available-must-rebuild-existing-dammit" work).
It was an MGB.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......
THATS AWESOME ! U make stickers ?

No, not me but this has been around for a while. Sorry, don't recall who made them.

I spotted this roadster in the Level II parking lot at Blackcomb Mtn in Whistler, BC on Saturday. It looked familiar and it turned out to be a former Ross Mullen car visiting from Socal.
I hope you enjoy the drive home as much as skiing the best mountain on a perfect 28C day!

I went out on Sunday (Mo's Day) and saw a red 69 2000 with all blacked out chrome bits, motoring down Los Al Blvd before turning in to Rossmoor. Since I live on the other side of the blvd, I was surprised as I have not seen it before. (and that just proves mine is spending too much time inside a closed garage door.)

Yumi and I were out thule-ing around the Burlington flats today, lo and behold a nice 1500!
85 hp! And 3 seats!
An honor and a pleasure to meet the highly skilled and enthusiastic owner of this spectacular car!
Wow.

On this past Friday, May 25, at about 9:45 a.m., I saw this red Roadster cruising south on I-5 near Mission Bay in San Diego. Anyone on here?
Traffic was thick and I was driving, so I only had a brief chance to get a photo. Framing isn't great, but it's all I have:

It was great meeting you pebbles. I sure like your new roadster too. Can't wait to cruise around sometime and especially the mt baker run.

Thanks, I got them from a tire shop in California that specializes in taking regular radial tires and turns them Into white walls. About half the cost of other white walls tires. They are 2" but the shop can do pretty much any size, and also does different colors too!

Spotted this one a few weeks ago on the 405 North in LA heading into the Valley. I was in my Blue BMW 325i. Honked and gave a thumbsup
