That last sentence can be taken in so many ways.....lol

heh, hehe...I really should re-look at my posts before I hit the send button....

Alrighty everyone, I'm going to roll the dice and see if I can pull off a decent event. Registration is still a question mark but I'll keep the faith.

So, Datsun Matsuri is back on.

I have a few things to work out before I can open registration again so watch for that on Monday.

Apologies for the drama.

In the mean time, shake the Datsun trees to see if any other Datsun Nuts fall out.

[DatsunDave]

Less than a week to go. Any others interested in attending, please contact me asap to register.

I'm still working Dave, removing a couple of broken bolts in the head today!

[DatsunDave]

Keep at it Jason.

If it is any inspiration; my engine is sitting on the floor in front of the car with the timing chain tensioner undergoing surgery.

I'm planning on the trip up, but it will be weather permitting. I think that a lot of people are in the same mindset.

Hope to see you next weekend....Aron

[DatsunDave]

Thanks for the heads up. If you know of others who are going to make a late decision, maybe have them post here so at least I'll have a general guestimate of how many may attend so I can plan accordingly.

[DatsunDave]

Ash, hope you can make it. I know the roadster crowd are planning to leave Friday if that means anything.

"A bunch of us are meeting at exit 99 (Whatcom Road) near Abbotsford at 10 am Friday morning on the Trans Canada", Ross from Sports Imports.

[DatsunDave]

Ash510, I hope you come to the event. The roadster guys are kicking the 510 guys' butts as far as turn out is concerned.

I'm headed up this evening with the wagon.. although its reliability is still questionable...
