WTF: Hotwheels Skyline KPGC110 GT-R Christmas bargain

December 3, 2011 / banpei / 9 Comments

Yesterday I was doing my Christmas shopping (actually us Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas) and had to buy some wrapping paper in a bargain store called Blokker. My eye fell on the bargain Hotwheels sale and couldn’t resist going through the bin. My heart skipped a few beats when I found the beautiful 2011 edition Skyline GT-R KPGC110:

For a bargain price of only 1.99 euros! That’s less than 3 dollars. WTF?! Lucky! Bargain!
So I dug deeper and found three more KPGC110s and a few others! (more on that later in this post) Unfortunately no hakosuka Nissan Skyline 2000GT-X or BRE Datsun 510 Bluebird. :(

In the end I bought two KPGC110s, one for my son and one for me (at work): Continue reading

What car did this Levin borrow its grille from?

November 8, 2011 / banpei / 3 Comments

It is always nice to see owners mix and match parts from other cars. In this case this Levin is a mix and match of a kouki Levin (eyebrows on the headlights and bumper with wrap around indicator lights) and some grille I’ve seen before…

Now where did I see that before?? Is it from another E80 Corolla? Can’t remember the E80 ever had such a grille…

Perhaps another Toyota then? So how about this wagon then?? Continue reading

WTF: Japanese cars in the Red Light District!

October 22, 2011 / banpei / 0 Comments

I visited Amsterdam earlier this week and while waiting for my train on the Central Station this Amsterdam tourist postcard caught my eye:

Yes indeed: a third generation Mitsubishi Galant, a Nissan Sunny N13 (Pulsar N13 was sold here as the Sunny) and a Datsun Cherry N11 (Pulsar) and ehrm…somthing in the background. ;)

Somehow I knew in the back of my mind it was bad that I spotted these Japanese cars first and a second later the five brightly lit red windows behind them… And I know: it is also a really bad thing to admit… :(

Anyway, I just had to buy this postcard as proof and what unfortunate soul should I send it to? Any volunteers that wish to receive greetings from Holland? Or should I just send it to Japanese Nostalgic Car and see if they can appreciate it as much as I did? :)

WTF: Seibu Keisatsu 2003 full car lineup!

Be amazed, be very amazed: the full lineup of cars for the 2003 reunion movie/episode!

Apparently someone got access to the props department and I must say that all those cars with red flashing lights is an amazing sight!
Too bad I couldn’t find any footage of the 2003 episode. :(

WTF: Trampio Trueno AE86 replica?

October 11, 2011 / banpei / 3 Comments

This is a real WTF?! In my brains the words Trampio and Levin are connected like fire and smoke, so how come this Trueno is featuring the Trampio livery then?

First of all the Trampio Levin AE86 never featured the N2 flares since it never competed in the N2 series, so it can’t be the original.

Second of all there was no Trampio Trueno AE86, only the Levin… Continue reading

WTF supercharged V8 powered Celica XX GA61

WTF: Drop a 1UZ-FZE SC in a Celica XX GZ61

October 6, 2011 / banpei / 2 Comments

What is even more impressive than the Motorfix 1UZ (with ITBs) powered UZE70 Corolla? A supercharged 1UZ Celica XX GA61 (aka the Celica Supra mk.2) with its supercharger sticking out of the bonnet in Mad Max style!
