I took this small clip from the Video Option Drift Heaven vol. 15 where Nomuken teaches his pupil how to pronounce L.S.D. (Limited Slip Differential). All I can make of it is Ludesocksedaiski.
Now how would you pronounce that? :P

I’m cleaning up old directories on my old (retired) harddisks and came across this Finnish gem called Lada Raider. It is a Knight Rider spoof and features a Lada 2101 (aka VAZ-2101 in Russia) instead of the Pontiac Trans Am.
And beware: there is more to come from the old Banpei crypts. :P
Do the Japanese really have commercials for spam?
Yes they do:
Okay, I admit: it is not the spam you may have expected… But still, advertising for spam is spam. :P
I love the part where the commercial shows a thick slice of spam on top of a nigiri sushi! Amazing!
I had some good laughs on this Itasha video posted by youtuubeblows! Especially at the part where everybody starts dancing (@3:11) in their cosplay outfits and with the Evangalion itasha-van (or should that be dekoitasha?)! Not only does it show some Itasha to look at but also a serious otaku driftcar:
The Haruhi Racing Silvia S15 is a very beautiful one and apparently, judging by the screams by the Itasha girl, it can go sideways as well as any other drift car!
Now how long would it take before the Itasha catches on like this?
About 50% of the Initial D fanboys who buys a 3 door Trueno AE86 convert it to a Fujiwara Tofu replica and the same applies to the Delorean, Pontiac Trans Am, Dodge Charger and the GMC truck. I can understand all this since they all originate from inspiring heroic movies and series. What I can’t understand is this Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude:
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
A Bassie and Adriaan Honda Prelude, including the caravan! WTF!?
For the people unfamiliar with Bassie and Adriaan were a Dutch circus duo who starred in their own (children) television series. To illustrate it a bit more, here is on of the intros:
And it doesn’t get much better than that! :D :D
So the car does come completely with the matching caravan:
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
I’m not sure it is the real deal because I was unable to match the licenseplate of this Prelude with the intros of the series. The cars used in the series were all owned by Adriaan (the acrobat) and he did swap the Prelude quite regularly for a newer one, so it could be that the Prelude Mk II was superseded by this Mk III. But the seller does not mention anything if it is the real one or not, so I can’t tell if it is actually a replica or not. (but I do suspect it)
What the seller does say is that it is being sold off because his hobby got a bit out of hand. Now what would he mean with that? Either having too much Bassie en Adriaan stuff or having too much Preludes and caravans?
Additionally you will also get this cute Robot called Robin in the deal:
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
And no: it is not able to wash the car for you: the robot was limb during the series. ;)
The Prelude has always been serviced by the official Honda dealers:
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
Imagine driving this thing into the Honda dealership and requesting for the regular service interval. I think that would give a laugh or two! :D
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
The caravan also has the later type official logos, so perhaps it could be the real deal after all.
WTF: Bassie en Adriaan Honda Prelude
Just imagine cruising the Dutch highways with open windows, having the wind blow through your hair and getting laughed at by about everyone in the other and opposite lanes. Who wouldn’t? :P
Anyway, you can buy it here:

Hilarious: weird Rose & Mary Nissan Note commercial
This Japanese Nissan Note ad has been around for some time now. It features two guys called Rose and Mary who want to make their own Nissan Note:
This is the translated text of Rose and Mary:
Hi im mary!
Hi? im rose!
rose&mary we are!
we’re going to make a Nissan NOTE.
Wow!
First you attatch the tire!
tire! …it’s no surprising!
then attach Steering wheel!
Steering!
and brake pedal!
brake!
and one more brake? pedal!
brake!
Good milage!
Good milage!
and Milage Meter’s there so that you can make the milage at a glance!
at a glance? clearly!
Good milage!
Good milage!
and break pedal!
more break!?
Good-mileage,? fun-to-drive. Nissan NOTE
I have no idea if the pun of this commercial is supposed to be the Ken & Mary Skyline reference, but it surely would be very funny if it were!
