So the phantom 510 really exists? Looks good, Ron.

As a huge Datsun fan ( I still have the hat) ......well......I'm still a huge Datsun fan

[ZOO]

One of my all time favourite cars . . .

Ron, quick!! Put it away!! Its going to get wet or something!!!

Are you suggesting that the 510 actually ran and was driven???

This car is so awesome and has every dream go-fast part in it that was available!

It is great to see it out and I can't wait to see it run with its owner sitting behind the wheel wearing an ear-to-ear grin!!

I'd challenge it to a run-off with the TR8 but am not sure that the Triumph would run long enough!

Congrats, Ron! Beeeyoootiful car!!

The 510 is sick Ron.

(That's a good thing).

Looks great, Ron.

Now you need to start beating on it.

Ron: the last autoX of the year is being held by St Lac in Picton this weekend.

I'm sure the 510 would love to stretch her legs a little.

I'll have Jamie call Joyce and distract her for the day.

Thanks everyone....though, I need to get over someone asking if it was a Fiat!!!!!!!!!!Arggh. Yes, out and about driving it....it's getting better each day. Still a lot of fiddling to do, but, hey, who is in a hurry!!

FIAT ?? years Ago at Frisbe Tire while buying new winter boots for my 510 I had a guy ask me to pull my "Lada" into the shop I just sat there until he figured it out .
Good to see you car on the road. I will have my shiny one out next summer

If it helps - I've had people come up to me in the Vista Cruiser and say *hey - nice Charger*.

WTF?!


Wasn't the Lada made from an old FIAT 124's obsolete tooling? Thought I read that somewhere.

... Wasn't the Lada made from an old FIAT 124's obsolete tooling? ...

It was. It was made in Russia at the Toglietti plant, which was named after a prominent Italian communist, and almost all the parts were interchangeable with the Fiat 124

Next time someone says they like your Charger tell em it has a Hemi and sell it to them for a QUARTER MIL $$$$ ha aha ..

Jebus!
Looks like a no for this weekend... Circumstances beyond my control. And I have the new vintage "Pit bike" all ready to go, and the means to carry it, as well! Maybe Jeff's luck will improve if I don't show up!

A guy and his young son entered the last Eastern Lowlands Pastures Rally TSD in a 510. After the rally, they left before I could get my camera.
