Throwback Thursday: Jumping 510

I know the photographer of this photo sometimes comes by the site so perhaps he can ID who the driver of this car is and where it may be now.  Likely Jerry took this at an upper midwestern stage rally about 5-10 years ago.  The road is either a VERY smooth dirt road or a tarmac event which would be rare I think in the Rally America series.  Regardless...great car...great shot.

Throwback Thursday: Lego 510

We've featured a number of Lego creations in this blog in the past and we've done a few Throwback Thursday postings in the past.  Now we've combined the two!

A beautiful Datsun 510 in BRE livery with accurate decals and logos.  Lego has announced that it will produce in a real world kit form, the original Mini.  It would be cool if they made a limited run of other cars as well--particularly this one!

Throwback Thursday with Roger Mears...

This is the short course Pathfinder built by SPD products for Roger Mears and Sherman Balch racing and who were heavily involved in a number of Nissan racing projects over the years.  Not sure why they went with an SUV for this vehicle as a short course race would seem to suit a pickup much better...but what do I know!?!?!
