the510keeper Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 What is the date of this still have not found it. I know what time to be there just not when Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 January 28th. This will be an awesome run! The run will be great, and the car show in the evening will really top it off for those who haven't been to this show. It's the largest longest running weekly cruise-in in the country. Usually a few hundred vehicles show up. Can't decide whether to bring the 510 or 280ZXT. Quote Link to comment

speedgato Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good times!! Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 We had a turnout of about 30 cars. 20 or so older Datto's, and a few newer Nissans. Represented were the 240/260/280 crowd, 280zx, 300zx, 1200, 620, pl510, hl510, and 350z. Good drive, y'all missed out. I see the 720 in the top pic, but didn't see him with us up in Phoenix. This is where we had lunch. It was at the old-west-ish of Tortilla Flats. This was a cafeteria style lunch, hot dogs, nachos, burgers, chili, etc. Quote Link to comment
speedgato Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 720 had girlfriend with dentist issues............. Quote Link to comment
