Hi Leslie, welcome aboard!
Actually, we had a pretty good Patrol following here for several years - we took over a smaller forum, and migrated all the posts. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the prior owner, and the rest is history.
We're in the process of setting up patrolforum.com (as well as nissanpatrolforum.com), because we've had some interest both locally and abroad. We've got the reach, we've got the resources, we've got [some of] the expertise, so it's happening!
Love your collection - I'm actually well-aware of the Patrol from the poster - My friend Les provided a lot of the vehicles for the shoot. I've got a few of the original prints in my Datsun memorabilia collection here at HQ.
The blue one in the BaT discussion was a joy to work on... I almost wish it hadn't sold, because it was a clean, unmolested example. I think it sold for WAY too little.
You're probably familiar with Eric Dixon from SoCal ROC (he has/had a few Patrols). Do you make it out to JCCS?
Sorry for the firehose of questions - it's always a pleasure meeting someone as die-hard as myself!
Thanks for popping in, Leslie - if you'd like, I'd love to have your input on patrolforum.com as we move forward.
