Duncan Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) There was only 6 1200's this year, but I had a great time. There is a good set of photos at http://www.dimequarterly.com Look at the link under the "What's new" section. Matt (Burabuda) showed up with a ridiculously nice JDM sedan and easily won 1st place. I'm still not sure how they judge them, but I got second place. (Again, I'm scratching my head in amazement) It's nice to get a plaque, but it's more fun hanging out and gaining a lot of tips and info from my fellow Datsun maniacs. I'll see if I can link it directly, but here's Matt's JDM sedan And my coupe (no, I'm not the bearded dude in the photo!) Those photos don't do Matt's car any justice at all, and they make mine look much better! I like that kind of photography :) Also, look at the difference in the front side marker lights. American vs JDM. Moises (Moisabamf) was there from Ratsun, as well as Angelo from No Cal. I had a great time hanging out with those guys and talking shop. Jaime was also there and it was nice chatting with him. He is a walking encyclopedia of Datsun facts. I'm sure there are more 1200 pics that will pop up, but Matt and mine were the only decent ones I've found so far. (No dis intended to my fellow 1200-ers) Edited October 14, 2008 by Duncan Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 The 1200's were well represented for sure. I snapped pics of all of them i believe. Ill be posting pics on the JCCS thread [events section] soon. Quote Link to comment

Burabuda Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 thx guys. had a great time :D as for the rest of the guys in the show, i don't think most of them got over to our section, and it wasn't because a mystery person nabbed our sign ;) i think it had more to do with us being in the "backwater" did you notice people's bewilderment when i got the jdm award? "huh? jdm sunny, wtf!" my only gripe this year, aside from the dust :rolleyes: was the electric blue mazda parked in the 1200 section. what's up wid dat koj? :mad: i had my buddy took this pic on the way up: Quote Link to comment

When they moved the mazda in on you guy's. I just stood there thinkin that don't match. And all the different cars had plenty of room, but the 510 section was packed in way to close. It wasen't like the didn't have the room. I just don't get it. Oh yea that's one clean 1200, And good idea to roll without hub caps. Quote Link to comment
