My mom used to have one when I was a kid, But that was 35 years ago so I might be wrong. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Phil Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I saw it at the Goodguys show at the Pomona Fairplex in California and the thing was a crowd pleaser. I assume it is the world's fastest Metropolitan. There were a few other hybrids there. Check out the radical VW Beetle. http://groups.msn.com/Datsun280zClub/bigphils78280z.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=282 http://groups.msn.com/Datsun280zClub/bigphils78280z.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=283 http://groups.msn.com/Datsun280zClub/bigphils78280z.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=284 There was a nostalgia drag event that weekend as well. This big block nitrous sniffing Z ran a couple of 9 sec pass and the crowd loved it. http://groups.msn.com/Datsun280zClub/bigphils78280z.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=285 http://groups.msn.com/Datsun280zClub/bigphils78280z.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
