This thread is petty. I motion that moderators kill it.
I think that is the first sensible post in this thread. I could sit here for a few hours and type responses to everything posted, but you know what? I think I'd be better off wasting my time doing something productive.
At the end of the day, an argument based on peoples' opinions is never going to have a resolution, mainly because there is no right or wrong answer. Coming from what is supposed to be a Datsun enthusiasts forum, I think that 'petty' is the best way to describe this thread.
From what I can tell, bagging a 200B based on personal preference is perfectly acceptable, but arguments against this based on facts and even allegedly throwing it back at those doing the bagging is not. I've been a Datsun owner for a third of my life now and reading this sucks.
For those of you who are 'real' Datsun enthusiasts and are into 'real' Datsuns, here's a good one for you to discuss: which is a better car, a 240Z or a 1600? It's no stupider than the existing thread, so discuss!
