Phlebmaster Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks for the information phatdave!! I posted your story to the urban dictionary for the "Origin Of Ratsun" :D I hope they approve this. Origin Of Ratsun Quote Link to comment
Tompsukka Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 In finland every datsun is a ratsun cause "D" is not so finnish letter so everybody almost always says "komee ratsuni!" ("nice datsun!") :D 1 Quote Link to comment
makya Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 " ...Situation that calls for the all Knowing the most brilliant of all...the one thay call....." Suddenly, a rustling from the bushes stops them all silent. A whisper comes from there and a voice is heard to say " you must go to the Maker of the DVD...They call him...." all eyes were upon the redeye.... and he says" What the fuck you looking at me for? The bush is talking...." and then all of them turn back to the bush, the one that talks..and it continues...." Bonzai." Well at that some of them laugh and say almost like a secret word or phrase.." ... CALL IT GOOD?"....laughter and a sense of relief comes across them all. and then... and enigma.....the one they call "Bleach" appears. They all bow before him and ask" The one from the north says it shall be called RATSUN. My Lord should it be so? At which the one they call Bleach says.... And I quote after many years and and many beers" Yeah what the hell.. if we refuse the one from the north they might send down some more or their god awful rock acts and shit do you guys really want to listen to any more Brian Adams songs.....?".....:D Dave, can you work in a "Holy Rusted metal Batman!" ? it just keeps running through my head reading this.

DatDoug Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Story round the campfire is that a long time ago on a typical cold rainy Washington nite Frank was driving home and came upon a poor stranded kid on the side of the road. The fact that the kid had a Datsun & that it was raining like a cow pissin on a flat rock, Frank pulled over to help. The kid popped his head from under the hood and it was Icehouse. Frank said, "Damn you look like a drowned Rat son!" Ding! A lite came on in Jeff's head and there it was.:D Now I want to know how Jeff came about his nickname "IceHouse":blink: Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 i think it might have something to do with the beer.. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Now I want to know how Jeff came about his nickname "IceHouse":blink: Icehouse was one of my favorite things back when I first signed up for NWDE back in the day. I just wanted to keep it the same for all the forums so I still use it. It really has no meaning. I do remember loading a 521 so full of empty boxes full of empty bottles it looked like a canopy :D Icehouse beer is good :D Quote Link to comment
RandyinRenton Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Somebody has Datsun parts in Renton? Does somebody have an email address for Tana? I'd hate to phone her out of the blue to ask about Datsun Spares. Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 If you want to contact Tana, better to call than email, but you can still email her. I've PM'd you her contact info. She mainly deals with 320 and 410/411 parts, but you can still ask her for stuff on other models. Quote Link to comment
mikko1200 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 also...Finnish Noun: ratsun Genitive singular form of ratsu. a horse or knight(in chess) Heh...also in western Finland they have a local accent were D is not in use. They replace it with R. So Datsun turn to Ratsun there. Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am going to add this thread here: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=12128 Read through it. A Japanese guy was using the name Rat-Sunny for His Sunny at least as far back as 1995. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but He actually beat Us to it!! Interesting thread, though!!

Skib Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 thats badass tho :D the origin of ratsun dosent pertain to just the name IMO but the joining of like minded Ratsuners, thus forming Ratsun.net. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Rat-Sunny is not the same as Ratsun. Not even spelled the same. That's like saying "back in 1981, my uncle said 'Ratrod-like Datsun'". That doesn't mean he invented the word "Ratsun". Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I invented the question mark Quote Link to comment
