I already knew Japanese commercials were wacky, but this commercial by Up Garage doesn’t even try to make sense at all:
WTF?! I definitely want to buy my tires there! :D

It doesn’t happen very often that I post a picture in the Hilarious postings, but this week I’m on holiday and I don’t have much time to do postings…
Anyway, found around the interwebs: the Honda vacuum cleaner:
Hilarious: Honda vacuum cleaner
I surely hope it is still an electric vacuum cleaner: four stroke vacuum cleaners leave some nasty carbon monoxide around when cleaning inside a non ventilated room… ;)
Happy Hachi Roku day! :)
Like you probably know or already read/heard it is today hachi roku day!
What is hachi roku day then? From Japanese hachi translates into 8, roku into 6 so in other words: 86. Today it is August sixth. Get it? If you are from Europe probably not, but in Japan and the US this date reads 8-6, hence it is hachi roku day today! ;)
To celebrate hachi roku day I have some funny AE86 videos for you today! Let’s kick off with the AE86 dry run:
So how about a Corolla E80 FWD vs RWD commercial comparison? South African FWD:
vs US RWD:
If it were for the moonwalks alone I’d surely pick the FWD!
Now how about the epic old man George doing donuts?
And to prove the hachi roku can also be cute:
hachirokuuuuuuuuuuuuu! :D
I think I still have to give some education on my son: he claims my Carina is a racecar (yay!) but he can’t say roku-rei yet!
Honestly I do love Top Gear, but I simply can’t find the time to actually follow it… Most of the time I just wait for the reviews and see if I really need to see an episode…
People already speculate that this actually might be the last series of the new Top Gear, which I can understand since all three of them are already presenting the new format for 8 years now (I know, May only 7…) and it slowly starts to become difficult to make the series even better than last season. ;)
Back to the old series: I found this clip from the old series (1991) where Jeremy Clarkson test drives a couple of the finest Japanse kei cars:
I was really puzzled on how much he actually liked them! Was he more forgiving in his early years or did he become soft for the little ones??
Now I certainly know I did something wrong with the education of my son: this guy’s son seems to be younger than Ollie and he is already fully capable of adjusting a sidedraft Solex carburettor!!
I guess teaching Ollie this stuff won’t do much good either: he prefers to use hammers above a screwdrivers. ;)
What were the great sci-fi icons during the
80s? I can come up with Knight Rider and Robocop! Toei must have thought the same, so why not create a tokusatsu TV series around a cyborg human and a Pontiac Trans Am? So behold Mobile Sheriff Jiban:
Just like in Robocop a cop gets killed and is brought back to life. The little girl giving him all the shiney stuff is his little sister who is the only person who really knows who he is. One little problem: she wears a Bomb Ring which will detonate if he comes too close, so he can’t approach her anymore…
Apparently someone without car knowledge translated the Japanese wikipedia page to the English page and thinks the car is a Mazda RX7 (FC-2S). If you search on Jiban in English all results will state the same. It doesn’t take much to recognize it as a Pontiac Trans Am instead.
If you read the Japanese wikipedia page it is clearly described as a left hand drive third generation Trans Am. I know, I know: never trust Wikipedia… ;)
