Remembering Japanese cars from the past
This chicken race video is very funny to watch:
Apparently Gan-san’s reaction gets worse during the years: he doesn’t even manage to brake in time and stay within the marked area!
And you can even fit two people in it:
And if you thought those Midgets are for losers, how about this tuned Midget II sitting on a set of SSR Mk 1s?
I’d swap my Carina for that Midget II without hesitation! :D :D
This tokusatsu scene by Kamen Rider is hilarious:
Some Pharaoh dude driving a Prince Gloria A30 sedan is fighting Kamen Rider with fire. Especially the finale is brilliant: after a small flying kick he just disappears in thin air! :D
Two days ago Nissan launched their new Kei car called the Roox. Basically it is the same old story of a shoebox size car on wheels. You may wonder how do they would actually sell such a thing! Well, this is the way to sell such a car in Japan:
Just show how big the car is by having a couple of kids (and a rabbit) dance inside it!
Damn catchy tune! I’ve already got it in my head after watching the commercial only three times! So if you still haven’t got enough of that tune and want to learn the dancing routine, watch this:
Both the car, the tune and the dancing reminds me a bit of all those daikoku futo dancers… Maybe that is the public they want to attract with this car. Somehow I can picture a Roox filled up with a bunch of speakers, neon and smoke machine! :D
On Bosozokustyle.com we have several advertisement campaigns running and when we don’t have anything to show we use Google Adsense to fill up the space. Apparently is does not always work out okay:
Advertising gone wrong on Bosozokustyle.com
I wonder what those Bosozoku would actually think when they saw that particular advertisement next to their zokusha posing picture! ;)
You all knew Ken Nomura was able to drift himself to a third place in the D1GP this year, but what you didn’t know was that he has a much wider range of driving skills!
So what else can he do then? Well, parallel drift parking (30 cm space at each side of the car), popping a balloon while driving reverse, sharpen a pencil while driving reverse and last but not least: light a match while driving reverse! :D :D
Too bad he only uses his ER32 for the parallel drift parking… I really would loved to see him do the pencil sharpening with his ER34! ;)
The latest trend in Akihabara: Koike Style!
Koike Style is basically nothing else than using your computer while moving. This can involve walking/cycling/bus rides/whatever. It actually is quite a silly look to see someone walking with a laptop, or standing still pressing the laptop against their lap and typing as fast as they can to keep the laptop from falling! :D
I can see the use for it, but what I don’t get is why most of them use a full size laptop and not something compact as netbook or an iPhone to stay connected! ;)
