No, the Japantreff is August 25-27 and Shasta is July 12-16 and Queen Mary Japanese Classic Car Show is October 1.

I wish Japantreff was 2 weeks before NCF show, because work starts again last week of August!  

Alfadatsun, any pics of your sss?

[alfadatsun]

Here is one of my 510 sss

Nice 510! Soon to be nice 610  

[alfadatsun]

Also you seems to have nice cars,you have a picture of carburators like these

8-) 8-) 8-)

[Jylppy]

Seems that alfa sleeps with these parts - and polishes them when ever possible..

[matbighat]

Sorry to say usa to europe airfare is most expensive ever, so I probably won't visit this year  

Anyway, here's my latest project  8-)

[alfadatsun]

steeringwheel on wrong side,call to Datsun and  ask for replacement as guarantee,so i can take it

[mortica]

steeringwheel on wrong side

Wheel is on the right side ...I´ve been honoured to sit in C130 which have right sided steering. I find it quite confusing.
Nice car matbighat, and automatic  8-).

[matbighat]

Alfa OMG! you sound like an American   (I get that all the time!)

[mikko1200]

Wheel is on the right side ;)...I´ve been honoured to sit in C130 which have right sided steering. I find it quite confusing.
Nice car matbighat, and automatic  8-).

I once drove a RHD C130 with a "dog leg" 5-speed. That needed some serious concentration. After that I tried a semi-automatic F10, but that´s another (strange) story.

matbighat: You couldn´t know this but that part of Finland where Alfa lives, it´s more american than US...there´s everything bigger and better than anything else ;>

[zedric]

i have one RHD C110 too,but it´s 4 door sedan

nice skyline

[matbighat]

Too much damn American TV will do that  

Actually, I drove home from the docks and had no problems with the steering wheel being on the WRONG SIDE!

240K does not sound as nice as "Skyline," so I will be changing the badges soon  

[zedric]

the steering wheel is not wrong side,it´s a right side  

[GynZi]

matbighat: You couldn´t know this but that part of Finland where Alfa lives, it´s more american than US...there´s everything bigger and better than anything else ;>

It's the finnish west coast ;)

VERY nice car, btw. I sure would like to have one... or even try one  :P

[matbighat]
