Datsun 510

In this episode I cover the Datsun 510, a classic JDM sports car. Some called it the poor man's BMW but I would call it the better buy. The same performance as a BMW for less money plus easy to work one, and easy to upgrade. A rally Car with multiple wins under its belt, this car is truly something special.

Thanks for listening!
