First time driven in 15 years.
I revived this car after a long 15 year sleep. After replacing every coolant device,charging and braking components.. I ended up having someone in bay area tear the Lz2.3 down to "freshen it up." So...after missing every car show & most of the fun runs this summer..I was fortunate enough to meet and join Gino and some of his friends from Datslocos while I break it in. I'm still working out some bugs in suspension & braking...but for the most part..I had more fun than I could of imagined. I brought along one of my buddies who helped with the revival. We all met up near Saratoga and drove to San Gregorio State Beach. Then we unknowingly drove up some sketchy loose gravel road to Skyline Blvd. It felt so surreal to be around other folks who share the same passion as me and to be around a bunch of beautiful vehicles such as the Datsun 510. Many more beautiful moments like these sure to come..

Story behind my plates
I ordered the license plate as an homage to my late great friend Derek Israel who passed away doing what he loved..racing a 510. He died in 1997 at Sear Point Raceway when a part of a previous crash went through the netting and struck his neck. He was only 28 and had just come off winning the championship in GT4 Class. I'd known him since we were kids and he was influential in my decision to own one. His first 510 was a yellow bubble flair with BBS Rims. It was a special little car with lots of memories..That car had the plates JPN BMW.
