Sunday Drive

You never know what you will find at a rest stop in Japan, while out for a drive in the mountains the surround Tokyo, we spotted these amazing classic Nissans. The 1971 4 door Skyline with had an S20 under the hood and was in amazing condition. While we were talking to the owner of the Skyline a Fairlady 2000 roadster pulled into the parking lot, it turns out the little roadster has seen a number of track days. We spent the better part of 30 minutes talking classic Datsun/Nissan sharing stories about my own 240Z back home in the states (Project Z). It was nice talking to enthusiasts about their cars, after our goodbyes we all got back into our cars and went on to enjoy the mountain roads once again.
