Me and Mitch will be there early. Also, our friend Dave is bringing his 720 up later this evening. It will be the first Super Cruise for his truck.

 

Wish we could find more people around these parts to hang out with, but mini truckers are scarce around here. E

If it will make you feel better, I will bring my 620 instead of the 240z. :-D

Naw, you don't have to do that. It's just nice to meet people and hang out a while. Either ride is cool. Hope to see you there! E

[darrel]

5 mini trucks, 5 roadsters, 4 s30's, 1 510 wagon and a '96 impala ss from the springs who has a 240z but isn't done with it yet.

 

And there was a couple of other s30's rolling around but didn't park with us. One was a 71 or 72 and the other was a faux ferrari.

[denveratsun]

Yeah...good turn out...next time we nail down a way better parking area! :rolleyes:

 

Plus the other 521 that was there but didn't stop...the light green one...so thats like 16 Datsuns!!!

 

Not bad since there have only been like 4 for the last 3 years :cool:

 

Thanks for hookin it up Darrel...and the rest of you Coloratsun folks...

 

See you up there in a month...

 

anyone got any pics? :huh:

[PEZi720]

any chance you guys will be there next month again? i used to go to this all the time when i lived in golden, but now that i'm in the springs it's a bit harder... maybe next month i'll be there again if everyone else will be there too!

[darrel]

Some of the roadster group brought up the idea of going to the cruise before I did so I just let them know the minitrucks go there every month.

 

 

Unlike the caddy people, I don't think anyone would want to block off a lot just for us, unless golden realty wanted to let us do that. I don't think that is the spirit of the cruise. The golden realty lot is perfect for the datsun group if some get there early, not to block off the lot, but to at least establish a presence.

 

 

Right now, some in the group are thinking about the October cruise, but i will gauge interest a couple weeks before the september cruise.

[OG lil E]

All I can say is wow! The Datsun folks came out in force on Saturday. I never did any counting, but our little corner parking lot was jam packed. We got up to Golden a little late, so we lost the bigger side of the Golden Realty lot. It won't happen again!

 

I started taking pictures, but between dodging the weather, talking to tons of people and all the other stuff going on, I only managed to take a few. Hopefully next month I'll get more. But, here's the few I managed to snap...............

 

Here's the early birds. Mitch is in the middle, Darrel is on the right, and Dave is on the left. Mitch's son Thomas is behind the wheel of Mitch's 720.

 

 

This is Thomas, Mitch's kid. He is mini-truck krazy already at 10. He talks about getting a 620 Datsun of his own one day.

 

 

Here's our buddy Darrel, chillin' out in the shade. It was nice to meet you Darrel. Dug your 620! Glad you came out!

 

 

Here's Dave's '85 720. He just picked it up recently, so he hasn't got a whole lot done yet, but he has big plans.

 

 

 

 

This was the engine in one of the many Z cars that showed up. Things started to get crazy about this time, so I wasn't able to gather much information on the car or who owns it. It was beautiful!

 

 

This will give you an idea of the number of people that came out. This was early, too. At one point, the lot was so full no more cars could come in, and there was just walking room in between the rides.

 

 

Here's Mitch's 720, Denveratsun's 521 and Dave's 720 all out in front sealing up the lot. It was good to see you again Denverat. We HAVE to get together and do a mini truck run somewhere--soon, before the snow flies again!

 

 

Sorry there weren't more pictures. I'll try to take more next time. E

[darrel]

The silver 240z was Daniel (240zman on classiczcars, zmanco on hybridz), it's a turbo engine run with megasquirt.

 

Make sure to make it out to our track event on sept 11th and don't be shy about asking to go for a ride or two. I will have my 240 out there.

 

Daniel as well as the green 260z with the 3.1L (gerry) will be there.

[PEZi720]

I'll have to make it out again for sure... the last time i was there is was just me and mitch

[OG lil E]

We're going to have a mini truck Cruise-In on September 18th. We did it last year and it was nice. I posted it in the events section, but here's a handy link so you can check it out.

 

We hope some Denver/Colorado area Ratsun people will come out. E

Just a heads up, the colorado wyoming roadster group is planning on coming to the golden cruise. They will come down after a car show in Greeley at Erlichs Nissan(11th yr). If there are any datsun trucks in that area I am sure they would be more than welcome to crash the car show/bbq. I don't know how many roadsters will make it, maybe as many as there were last month, but could be more.

 

Make sure someone lets the air out the the caddy groups tires so we can have more parking space. ;-D

 

I would go to that but I will be teching cars for the z club track day the next weekend. I will bring my 240 to the golden cruise after I get done with tech.

[PEZi720]

not going to be able to make this month :(

 

broke after vegas... plus i'm racing early sunday morning in fountain... so no can do

[denveratsun]

That sounds great Darrel... :cool:

 

Gonna be there with my 1969 Dodge van and all the family this time...sorry Ratsun :rolleyes:

 

 

Its gonna be way more comfortable than the 521 :P

[darrel]

Kya, aren't you supposed to kick someone in the azz so he will make it up here this time?

[PEZi720]

Yeah....I wish I coulda made it out to see the race..I love going to the races!!! :cool:

 

I was supposed to go kick some AZZ so that a couple more folks would make it up to the cruise, but I never got around to it. I talked with Bob yesterday though and he has been way too busy.

 

Hope the weather holds for November.

 

Plus, I hear that Littleton Blvd is the spot of another good cruise night on the second Saturday of the month...not sure if its still going on or if theyre done already.
