I participated in the Hagerty HDC Days Rally today from Golden, CO to Deckers, CO.
IMG_6759.jpeg
The scenery was beautiful and a wide range of cars were on the road. The only other Datsun was a 280Z owned by Hagerty and driven by the event organizer.
IMG_6760.jpeg
The event was well run and a free lunch was included. With a detour to get gas in Woodland Park I got up to almost 8500 ft in elevation. She struggled a bit going up hill in the thin air but did well. I logged about 170 miles round trip - the longest drive in a while.

It was a great way to spend a sunny and dry summer day in the mountains.

Just a perfect morning for a rip in the countryside. Finally no smoke in the air from wildfires 100s of km away.

At the Edmonton Z car club annual show and shine. We had over 80 cars show up. Lots of Datsuns, Nissans and many other Japanese name plates. Great weather and hundreds of spectators .

Redroadster68 here. It is not a Mitsubishi. It is a Nissan 240SX dressed up like a jdm Silvia . But it is indeed a North American car. It has an LS v8 . Sound absolutely insane ! Incredible build . It was my vote for best in show .
