Duncan Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Cool! JNC Mag? Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Cool! JNC Mag? No, Vintage lightning from Japan. Koji told me they were changing the name but I don't remember. Sucks getting old. :( I can't believe that JNC haven't had your sunny in the mag yet. Edited October 8, 2009 by datrod Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) No, Vintage lightning from Japan. Koji told me they were changing the name but I don't remember. Sucks getting old. :( Tell me about the old thing :) Is Vintage Lighting a Car Mag? Strange name. I can see why they are changing it. BTW, Kogi's goon is badass. I didn't get a chance to see it closely, but what little I did see looked great. I can't believe that JNC haven't had your sunny in the mag yet. I think they shot photos of it when Burabuda owned it, but I'm sure they have a HUGE backlog of other cool cars. The B110's don't have the mass appeal of a lot of the other cars, so it's no biggie at all. Too many great cars and not enough issues :) It'll be nice to see the Radio Flyer Goon in the mag. It certainly is worthy. I can't wait! Edited October 8, 2009 by Duncan Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 So awesome Datrod! I am psyched for you man! Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 epic we wanna see the mag when it prints Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys. Yea I think that JNC must have more cars to shoot than ink. Just look at all the cars at JCCS. At least half of them are magazine worthy. And most of them are from So Cal. :( I should get a copy of the mag in November just in time for christmas.:D Edited October 8, 2009 by datrod Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yea Mark. I talked to Koji today and he said his wagon is not finished yet. Could have fooled me.:lol: That thing is WAY TO CLEAN. He told me there is no headliner in it. I went over it pretty good at JCCS and didn't even notice. :eek: I guess I'm going to have to give up my WAGON MASTER status with all these fine ass goons showing up. And when you pick one up, well end of story there. :lol: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I saw those guys at JCCS! Lightning magazine (Vintage Auto - 旧車) is a great magazine, heavy on Datsun and Sunny in particular. Mar 2006 - Datsun 1200 on the cover Another - Sunny Meeting six page article That's the only two issues I have. Edited October 8, 2009 by ggzilla Quote Link to comment

I'm going to look and see if I have it here at the house. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 hmm, wasn't somebody (i won't mention any names) talking about selling their red goon a while back? :lol: boy goons are still on the rise and i may just have to join duncan in building my own so i can be in the squad with the rest of the oldish farts :cool: Quote Link to comment

I needed money a couple months back. And I might again real soon.:( But I think I'll come up with something to sell. But it won't be the goon. I told my wife we can sleep in the goon but we can't drive the house. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Which goon had the custom billet champagne glasses in the console? Very cool. Quote Link to comment

He told me there is no headliner in it. I went over it pretty good at JCCS and didn't even notice. :eek: When I went by, he had the windows up and I couldn't see into the car too well. I certainly wasn't going to put my hands on the glass to block the reflections to see the interior! The stance, the rims, and especially the "1600" grill badge are really nice. I hope he brings it to one of the smaller shows and we can check it out up close. I'm finding that goons are like 1200's. They are very dependable and cheap to drive, so people generally don't give them up until they are run into the ground. Good for them, bad for me! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Congrats John. Your wagon deserves all the attention it gets. If anything it gives myself & others something to shoot for. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Which goon had the custom billet champagne glasses in the console? Very cool. That would be my radio flyer. I kinda like billet. If you look at my car up close you'll find alot of stuff I made. No wonder I don't have any money. I should be working on customer stuff. But I keep finding more junk to make for the goon. Sorry I didn't get to meet you at JCCS. Sure like your cars. Quote Link to comment
