Japanese rustoseums (part nineteen)

February 1, 2011 / banpei / 3 Comments

What is the chance you find two Mazda Cosmos together? One out of a billion?

So what is the chance you will see seven together?

Mazda Cosmo scrapyard
I thought the Cosmo rustoseum photo I posted a year ago (mother of all rustoseum posts!) was a single incident, but apparently there were more!

According to the photographer, Komin, there were about 10 Cosmo wrecks. Only 1,519 Cosmos were (hand)built by Mazda, so imagine what this Cosmo scrapyard could possibly be worth for a collector/restorer!

Hat tip to Gred for finding this gem!
Picture originated from [Komin’s photo blog] (Check it out: very interesting and beautiful pictures!)

Video: Ride height control on Mazda 323 GT-X

Why would you buy a Mazda 323 GT-X? Most people would answer 4wd, but this video show you why your wife would buy one:

To lower the car when she needs to lift her shopping bags out of that big hatch! Now I never thought of that! ?(???)?

DOTS: 1980 Mazda 626 Hardtop Coupe

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 / banpei / 0 Comments

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:
