Come On P L E A S E !!!

SOMEBOBY out there MUST know who this JOHNNY LIGHTNING chappie is??
Your toy companies make models of cars with his name on them I've even heard about him over here (was rather a long time ago though)
If George W wants to keep him under wraps thats fine by me (just tell him to PM me when he gets a spare moment or two)
Other wise SOMEBODY put me out of my misery and let me into your best kept secret since ........... well anyway just let me know!!! :uhoh:

:confused: Well thanks for the tip kris!
I have just sat through 12 pages of Googles idea of Mr Lightning and his toys. I even think I won a free dvd on page 9!!
Seriously though, (well maybe not too seriously) I can remember in the early 70's a car in HOT ROD magazine on the short circuit racing scene called the JOHNNY LIGHTNING SPECIAL PARNELLI JONES COLT FORD and after going goggle-eyed with Google, I can only assume that the fellow didn't exist at all and some body just made up the caracter and it has certainly caught on.

Thats my revised opinion.......unless someone else knows better!!
