Johnny Lightning 85 TA


It seems my car has made it to the die cast molds, but this was 5 years ago. I recall a submittal for Your Car is the Star, but they never told me I was selected. Anyone see this on the pegs back in the day?
Re: Johnny Lightning 85 TA
That's absolutely freakin awesome!!!!!
I remember how excited I was when my 92 GTA and my 91 Firehawk made it into the book " ", I was totally stoked! I got an autographed hard-back copy from the author too.
Major congrats even if you did have to find out on your own! I would freakin KILL for that for my 92 GTA!!!!

Re: Johnny Lightning 85 TA
I seen the picture of the card in your post and immediately recognized it was your car before reading. That's a pretty neat deal for you and your nice Recaro.

Re: Johnny Lightning 85 TA
Thanks, it seems I'm out of luck with getting any reply from Johnny L. From some web digging, the deal was they would supply me a case of 12 castings of the car. They never delivered, and it was over 5 years ago. Anyone know a good lawyer? lol

Re: Johnny Lightning 85 TA
Well that's a little upsetting to hear that. They should of at least gave you some diecasts for reinbursement. Being that they made a diecast of your vehicle without your permission? But it's still pretty sweet for your car to be a star! Also, it would pretty awesome if they made a Johnny Lighting Firehawk diecast! either in 1:64 or 1:24. Would also love to see a Jamica Yellow formula as well.
