    Fleet, great find ... one complaint .... is there ANY chance you could scan at higher res ?
    Now got a headache from struggling to read the first 3 pages, so will be back to read the rest later.

    Have had this problem in the past with the scans you post, but this is one article I really want to read all the way trhough .... and not because it confirms posts from many years back re the perfromance/handling I promise not to raise that point again.

    Okay, this site can take bigger scans, correct?

    that was a good read, although reading them say how options on the datsun push the price to over 5 grand i can't adjust to the price scale from back then..

    Yeah, that was kind of expensive for a Datsun back then.
