DOTS: 1980 Mazda 626 Hardtop Coupe
January 30, 2011 in dots
Imagine when you go visit a friends party and you spot this Mazda 626 hardtop coupe parked on the parkinglot near the house:

Of course I immediately took a picture (with my phonecam, hence the crappy quality).
And another one up close:

A really nice preserved example! 
So we went inside and enjoyed the party. Only after two hours my wife found out the Mazda was actually owned by one of the people at the party!
The owner inherited the 626 hardtop coupe from his mother, drives it ever since and even became a member of the Dutch 626 club this year. He doesn’t need the car as a daily driver and the car is parked safely in a parking under the building he lives in. He even took it the car all the way to Hammerfest in Norway! Nice to meet someone liking the old Japanese cars as well!

Not only the Carina TA17 is entirely in kyusha style, its owner as well:

Don’t be fooled by the 8 in the date: that most probably stands for the 8th year of the Heisei period.

Hilarious: The A-Team dubbed in Japanese
January 28, 2011 in hilarious
I had a great laugh when I watched this A-Team opening in Japanese!
That sounded so great that I started looking for more footage on youtube…
Most of it is blocked, but I was able to catch this nice few minutes of good old Japanese dubbing:
TASUKETE!
Imagine what the Japanese might think of our good old Manga Video dubbing from the early nineties. Or worse: the Tokyopop Initial D dubs!

I found this picture on Karl Alexander’s facebook wall and it put a smile on my face. The Tortoise and the hare, the Starlet and the Trueno:
