I thought I would get into the spirit of christmas and offer up a set of genuine datsun 1000 short spear indicators (2 pieces), New Old Stock.
 

 
These will be free to the winner of this little x-mas comp and I will also cover any postage charges, this is open to all members on here.
 
I thought we could all post a reply as to why you or someone else on here deserves them.
I would prefer these to go to somebody that will use them on their car and not just ebay these once they get them.
Replys end Jan 1, 12:00PM and on Jan 2 a winner will be chosen.
Hopefully we can find the member that deserves these the most.
 
I want this to be as fair as possible so this will be decided purley on the replys given within this topic.
 
I look foward to your replys,  Ash.

I know these are rare, they almost never show up for sale and if they do they cost a small fortune, and even then they go almost instantly.
 
I thought these would be a nice gift to someone in the 1000 community.
 
Merry X-mas all

That's an awesome response, keep the replys coming everyone.

Dundee is a hoarder, will he actually use them? Haha.
 
I reckon it should go to someone who is close to finishing (and certain to finish) their project.
 
Which leaves us with......         erm........  umm......?
 
 
Ashley, I don't want to be a stick in the mud but;
 
My vote: Keep it and hold onto it. All the possible candidates I would like to vote for will either stash it, sell it or never finish their projects.

After all of your efforts getting this website together I think it should be someone else offering this sort of thing.
 
If I HAD to vote, then I would vote for botoneta because he is garunteed to use them and he is garunteed to finish his projects looking at the immacculate collection of Datsuns that he already has. If I'm not mistaken these lights are actually applicable to his model/year?

Chris, I agree that these should go to someone that will actualy use them rather than shelving or selling them.
I bought these while I was building my B20 project.
Now that I have a 1967 2-Door instead, I have no use for these as it uses the round guard indicators.
 
Currently these are sitting on a shelf with no car to go on.
These realy should be on someone elses pride and joy.

While the nominations are floating around, I'll nominate myself.
 
Apart from my obvious good looks I have had a terrible year and probably deserve a pick me up. Not many know but not long after I got my thou I fixed her up with motivation to get ready for a cruise and had a great old time, although I was finding it tough to get out in the shed because I was fatigued all the time, Less than 2 weeks later I'm in hospital with testicular cancer and going under the knife to have the mongerl dragged out of me. Recovery and chemo etc and I'm getting over it when my dad takes a spill. Shattered the T2 vertebrae and geting spinal caging done. Not to mention I've had a few sour deals trying to do the right thing by my thou, like getting a GX engine for it, which turned out to be a complete lemon, and a 60A 5 speed, which has a broken rear case and input cover and no clutch lever (which was promised). The lack of integrity of some people is amazing. It's like not many people have a concience anymore.That's about the worst half of it, compared to that the rest seems trivial. As for the car, I've been through more with Fang that most of my other cars put together so she isn't going anywhere. I'll cut my other nut off before that happens. And it isn't like I haven't done my fair share for the Datsun community either. Freebies, discount's, storage and next to free forigners and gearbox rebuilds for some. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hard done by or a tradgic case by any means. I'm well aware that there are some out there who have seen true tradgedy.
 
There you go, just like in Notting Hill I have stated my claim to the last chocolate cookie. And as it happens one of my guard repeaters is broken and glued together. Not that I'll put it on straightr away but it will probably break again when I respray Fang next year.
 
Vote for Revhead001. You know you want to...

I want them for my coupe
But I'm not nice , friendly and helpful like everyone else so I know I don't deserve them

Your probably right d, but they are going anyway.

I could use one myself, as if the parts are pretty much impossible to get here in the states. the right side one was broken when i bought the car. took a long one, cut it down and glued together. can't tell except for the extra screw in the front of it. but my vote is for revhead. Hope next year is much better for you.

My 'C' situation was not a secret or even unique, I didn't really tell everyone as I have only just recently gotten the all clear from the doc. It was ironic that on the August Vic cruise, the 'goth chick' and I wanted to organize a cruise for Mivember and raise some cash towards mens health, 2 weeks later I'm in emregency at the Angliss, 5 days later I'm in surgery. It was literally that quick.
 
I also forgot to mention that before I got sick my wife and I were organising a holiday to New Zealand. So we waited to get tha all clear before we moved forward with the holiday plan. We missed all the good flights we had booked so now it is costing an extra $1500 in flights and had to downgrade the accomodation. Dang. Dad was almost at the edge and making funeral preperations so we almost were going to cancel the holiday but like a ledgend Dad pulls through the operation and we're on track again. The next day more quakes in NZ. We are determined to get there though. Come rain, earthquake or shine we are going to get there dammit. She'll be right.
 
And my bloody K is broen on the eyboardand I have to eep rewriting everything that has a in it...
