Parkinglotslider521 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 So im trying to get what little of a Datsun following there is in the south east to band together. Im thinking local meets in each state with a regional once a year somewhere cool, st.augustine maybe? Either way, first on the list from ocala, florida Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sounds fun, I know the first show I plan to go to is in Atlanta next month but I will be heading to KY in April for a decent sized cruise. Would be great to have more shows/cruises within 3-4 hours of home :P Quote Link to comment
Datso72 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 My friend and I would be interested in that; we both own 510's and his brother is about to get himself one this weekend. We're from the Tampa area. B) Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Im living in Dallas,GA, but im from Port Saint Lucie,FL. Does that mean I'm counted under both states? lol jk. But theres a few guys from my area on here that may chime in on this one. Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Isnt it easier to just say south east? lol Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 We've been talking about that for a while. In fact, we actually have had a GA meet, and old school meet with quite a few Ratsuners'. Planning is the hard part Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Isnt it easier to just say south east? lol but then youd get that mississippi guy thats trying to put a v8 into his 520 chimming in. i think this was a deliberate act to keep him away, lol 2 Quote Link to comment
Parkinglotslider521 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hey now, if my silverado didn't need its 350 id be making motor mounts. (not really) But it would be nice to get a cruise in every once in a while. I know a killer stretch near micanopy, something like 28 miles of rolling back roads with lots of banked curves. Plus cafe risque could be the end point, so you'd have datto's, tits and bush all in one place! Quote Link to comment

Dat Lurka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 How about we ride the dragon? And piss everyone off with a line of slow datsuns trying to drive the dragon :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 God no... I can see my poor L18 jumping out and running home when we pull up to the dragon... 1 Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Haha yeah the dragon is not a place for the average datsun but man I'd love to take a fast Z screaming through all 318 turns. I will say that Bryson City would be a cool place for a meet but not this time of the year. It would be so flippin awesome to have a datsun meet on the gulf. Pensacola, Panama city, Destin, any of them. A convoy of Datsuns driving across the 3 mile bridge, a party on Santa Rosa island, then cruise down the coast to Navarre and cross the sound to Blackwater forest for some spirited drivin B) One can dream.

alabama_lowlife Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm in Southeast Alabama. I'd be down for a gathering in the florida panhandle, or somewhere this side of Tallahassee. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 ^ I think they still have a thing every Third Friday in Milton FL. Check it out sometime. Music, food, market, and a car show. Quote Link to comment
Parkinglotslider521 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah a friend of mine and his cougar lady friend drove to michigan to buy a top of the line 2012 370z with like 20k on the dash for 23 grand. So of course they hit the dragon on the way back. Lucky bastard. He said he had to stop twice on the dragon, oil temps kept spiking. On a 370! Imagine our datto's. Lowlife, you anywhere near geneva county? I got family there. Quote Link to comment
alabama_lowlife Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Dat Lurka, who could I talk to about that Milton get together? Parkinglotslider, I'm in northern coffee county, it's directly north of Geneva county. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I was told they don't do have the Friday fest anymore. Maybe in the summer they will. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Went to school in Tallahassee, I do miss those canopy roads white sand beaches and meandering rivers of the panhandle. I was also a river guide on the Nantahala (Cherokee for Land of the noon day Sun) in Bryson City, Now you guys are hitting my soft spot... Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 <-----Central Bama here. My 510 will probably never be finished though. When it is however, roadtrips abound. Lurka- old ass dattos on 3 mile bridge = 14 miles of traffic back-up cause murphys law Quote Link to comment

It was a blast! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Nantahala was great! But Ocoee is just so much better ;) Rapids are so much better and the water isn't freezing! 1 Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wasn't really my style of river riding. I like to find a nice slow stretch of chattooga and float down with a tube, bag of blunts, and case of beer. Rafting was a lot of work and I was Look at that face. I don't even know how to explain the expression. Must have been fun. Now I wanna go rafting.... Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 We used to take a raft and run the Ocoee on our days off. It was where they had the Olympic training grounds for kayaking. They used to have a scale model of a section of the river and had exact scaled models of all the large boulders in that stretch of the river. They would make up mock rapids so that they could get the rapids and holes perfect for the Olympics. Pretty cool.I remember Power house While in Florida you must try tubing down the Itchnetuckne.
