Hilarious: Subaru RWB360

May 25, 2012 in hilarious

Could this heavily modified Subaru 360 have been the inspiration for Nakai-san back in the late 80s?
Subaru RWB360?
Or was it the other way around?

This 360 has been modified with the same ingredients as Nakai-san modifies his Porsches. See for yourself in this video: Read the rest of this entry →

Now this is obviously not the best spot to show off your kouki Corolla Levin AE86 at the JCCA New Year Meeting 2012:

Hilarious: Bassie en Adriaan movie trailer

November 28, 2011 in hilarious

In yesterdays post I touched the subject Bassie en Adriaan already a bit and while searching through all intros to find the correct Prelude (in which I failed) I stumbled upon this alternative movie trailer for the Bassie en Adriaan en de verdwenen kroon (Bassie and Adriaan and the disappeared crown) which is brilliantly done!

No it is not a Toyota Crown that disappears, but actually a genuine crown. ;)
In this trailer you will see the bad guys drive a Lancia Thema, the Dutch police pull a Volvo 340 sideways (yes, they really drove them in the 80s!) and see Adriaan do a batman like U-turn in the Honda Prelude!

Bassie en Adriaan Prelude
Back then I doubted if the car would actually be the genuine car since the intro movies featured a different Prelude. Yesterday I received the ANWB Magazine (Dutch JAF equivalent) and it featured an article on movie cars including the Bassie en Adriaan Prelude. I now have clarity on the subject: it is genuine!

This is a phonecam shot of a part of the article: Read the rest of this entry →

Hilarious: Mark II MX41 in Russia

September 2, 2011 in hilarious

I really had to refrain myself from laughing when I watched this video: it is a culture clash between a 70s Japanese car manufacturer (Toyota in this case) and the taste of its Russian owner… I must warn you that the music is fantastic!

A funky Russian song, wirewheels, a flashy blue interior and flaky blue metallic paint just made my day!
