Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I just figured out Canby is 2700 miles from me... One of these days I'll make it but man that is a long way for a t-shirt... Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 its more than a t shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Every year guys come from farther away. Don't be a wimp. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 just get on a plane, bribe a ratsuner with some beer to pick you up. buy at tent at freddys down the street... or pack one with you. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 You also have a datsun/nissan meet in Duluth, Georgia in june. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Going to a datsun meet with great cars all over with nothing but a tent is tough. All the years my 72 was not running z meets hurt so bad. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Shhheeeeiiit dude, you think you have problems! Convincing my wife we need to come over for Canby is hard going. I'm hoping 2015 might be a goer (the junior Ratwagons will be old enough then). 1 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I couldn't bring myself to go all the way to Canby without a Datsun. Tht would defeat the purpose of the trip. However, I am interested in the meet in Duluth. I just joined the site Monday so I have very little knowledge of the different events. I have heard Canby mentioned on other sites and figured it was really the major meet to go to. I'll definately try to make Duluth this year, hopefully Canby next year. Thanks for the info on the Georgia meet :) Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Lol, luckily I don't have to convince anyone anymore. I can even drag the son along for a family fun trip, but the 620 wouldn't make it to Canby in its current form. Especially with only one brake working. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 They have t-shirts? Dang I need one haha Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 its more than a t shirt. Yea Skib, I know. I have seen how much love goes into these builds. This community is better than any other community I have joined and I hope to be able to be a part of it for the forseeable future. Was just trying to make a funny with the t-shirt quip. I honestly have a ton of respect for you guys and hope to make it out in the near future. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yeah its kind of a bummer to go without a car, but I went last year for the first time without my car but its still fun. Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 They have t-shirts? Dang I need one haha that's what I was thinking...then I remembered I bought one last year lol. and honestly I went in a Honda last year. still worth going. it's fun to meet people and put faces to the names. the way I see it Muslims have Mecca, Datsun guys have Canby...as part of our religion each member should make the pilgrimage at least once in their lives 4 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 This is the one I found in my search, there are likely more in your area, you need to talk to the locals about the meets closer to you. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/32580-datsun-nissan-meet-619-ne-georgia/ Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think I have a plan. My sister lives out near Redding, Cali so I save my money this year. Then I find a great 510 out there, store it at her house, the fly out for before Canby and drive the car up. I honestly want a 510 so bad that I would probably sell organs just to get one after seeing the awesome builds on ratsun :P If that doesn't work I will just have to work on getting that 5-speed for the 620 and rebuild the L18 before the trip.

I did not see that one. I am planning on going to the one in Atlanta next month. They have one every 3rd Sunday with any 1910-1989 vehicles included. Not all Datsun, but still looks like a great time. Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 That duluth meet was for 2011.... Also yes the third sunday meets are loads of fun. lots of bitchin rides show up. as far a a road trip to canby, I've been wanting to do that for a long time. if we plan far enough in advance I'm sure we could get some people to convoy.

datzenmike Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yeah its kind of a bummer to go without a car,but I went last year for the first time without my car but its still fun. That's right who could forget the tazer fest? Quote Link to comment
Siempreloco Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Canby is a goal i'm working towards as well, one day all of the NC/GA/SC members are gonna gang the fuck up and go cross country in a datsun conga line. many oics will be taken, many lulz will be had, many break-downs will be fixed beside the road...

HRH Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes, and might I remind Chet that was insanely stupid, not to mention dangerous, as you can very easily stop your heart with an electric shock. Luckily he was fine. Quote Link to comment
Siempreloco Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also- the atl vintage class meet is wicked, i went all the down from Asheville NC for the first one. Just stay away from the guys in the yellow/skittle 620 and the baby blue 620, they're a bunch of fags. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 matt, its funny how you say chets stupid... it made lol in real life... i cant say that chet got it that bad tho.. the guy with the laser used up a majority of the power on james. chet was getting at the most a bad static shock.. still, chet = dummy at canDy... trololololololl and ten OP, are you gonna come car or not? skib went without his last year. you can too Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Cant get them working in 5 months? even my sorry but cannot use that excuse! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Comparing a local meet to the nationals at Canby does not compare. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm throwing everything into it, Hope I can make it out but its more a work thing. 2700 miles is a long trip and I work 4 days a week. I may just save up and fly out, have to get a nice Ratsun member to pick me up. Quote Link to comment
