Best motorcycle ever: Honda Cub

November 11, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

I remember when I was in highschool I always wanted to have a moped. I actually got a 1967 Typhon Blitz (rebadged Motor Morini) and I was very happy with it. But actually I always wanted to own a Honda C50, also known as the Honda Cub.

I see it got elected as best motorcycle ever:

I think they forgot to mention one thing that can destroy the Cub: rust! Like every Japanese vehicle they are prone to rust. Back in the early 90s they were already rusting away at the front and rear fender (most of the surviving had only a small piece left) and slowly deteriorating the rest of the frame.

Still a great bike though! :)

What do I do for a living?

I’m an IT Architect at Spil Games and I always have great difficulty to explain to people what that actually is. Well, my colleague found this great video on Youtube about it:

I think that explains it perfectly at 1:05 till 1:42!
I’m a mix between all three architects in the example. :)

Hilarious: The Mysterians (Chikyû Bôeigun)

November 7, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

I came across this hilarious movie when looking through these 50 stunning Asian movie posters. (Thanks to I.Z. Reloaded!)

The Mysterians Movie Poster

I really love the description on IMDB:
So this film concerns hooded aliens who come to Earth with plans to capture and have sex with Earth women. So they release a huge bird-like robot named Mogera (it later returned renovated in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla) to prove they mean buisness. The army manages to defeat it by booby trapping the bridge and blowing it up while the monster is using it. Then the battle for the cosmos begins with the Mysterians and their ray firing ships and the humans and their markalite lasers.
Hooded aliens who want sex with our women!! OMG! Keep them away from our women!! :D

I really love this American trailer:

In case you want to watch the (more superior but less funny) Japanese trailer:

Carina Sightings: 2 Carina AA63s on NCML

November 1, 2008 / banpei / 2 Comments

I found these two videos on Youtube. In the first two Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 sedans are chasing a Nissan Silvia S15:

While in the second (third of the video set ;) they get chased by a different Nissan Silvia S15 and a Nissan 180sx:

I have no idea what NCML is, but I suspect that NCML is an abbreviation for one of the circuits in Japan and this event was held on 15th of september 2008. Anyone knows what NCML is??

Hilarious: RX-4 Wolf in sheep’s clothing

JNC posted this as a Halloween greeting:
Mazda RX4 Wolf in sheep's clothing

I think it is really hilarious: the RX-4 was already a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but now it is really a sheep in wolf’s clothing! ;)

Nice photoshopping btw! It took me a few seconds to find the flaws. :P
