I owned in earlier years both a 1972 Datsun 250Z and a 1974 Datsun 260Z, two-seater sports coupes. But what I really wanted was the Japanese model, which had right hand drive and was dubbed a Fairlady. I've no idea why it had that model name.

I named the first one Eliza and the second one Audrey, because they were both my Fairladies.

A friend had one that had become something of a street rod. He tucked a 350 cubic inch V-8 into it, and it fairly screamed. His personlized license plate said DESIRE. Yep. A street car named DESIRE. YCLIU!
