The Datsun takes on Daytona !!!-VIDEO ADDED

[RutRoe]

So I trailered my 521 down to Daytona with me since I'm down there for damn near 2 weeks... and boy has it been fun. I've gotten more comments and had more conversations over this thing than I ever have with any of my other cars I've ever had.

I was shooting a piece about some of the history and how the used to run on the beach and we had time to snap a few pics...

Hope you enjoy !

Ha ! Assuming you didn't see my age in the info thingy, if you saw I joined in 02, which I think I actually joined in 01 before one of the crashes, then that would mean I was 11 or 12 when I joined here :)

I still can't believe how many people love this truck...


Today, I was back in ATL and while I was gone, my friend Kyle Petty was driving the truck. Someone saw him in it because we've been putting lots of pictures of it on twitter, so they pulled up next to him to try and take a picture, he slows down, cops sees all this and pulls them both over.

He said that the cop walked up and asked what was going on...Kyle told him "I don't know where the registration or insurance or anything else is...this is my friend's old truck and I'm picking him up at the airport..." by this time the cop leans down and realizes it's Kyle...he laughs, they chat for another 30 seconds and then he waves everyone off..

So I guess my truck is a real attention getter :)

Boom goes the dynamite

Looks fun as hell! But after driving my car on the beach in Daytona and cleaning up after it for 3 months haha, I dont think I will again.
