I did post about a Gloria Y30 and Newman Skyline cassettes before, but non of these were exciting as this Exciting Explosion cassette tape by Calsonic:

I wonder what the Exciting Explosion on that tape actually is… :D

After posting the Reverse Fetish Simca Rallye 3 earlier this week I remembered taking this picture of a Simca Mille during summer:
Down on the Street: Simca Mille (1000)
As you can see it differs a lot with the Rallye 3, but that is quite natural for a car that had a production run of 17 years! This model is, obviously, an early model and is featuring the 944 cc (33hp) variant of the Type 315 engine that also made its way into the Rallye 3. It has only one third of the output made by the engine in the Rallye 3!
The license plate reveals nothing except that the car was officially imported to the Netherlands in 2010.
Reich967 uploaded this 1990 US Nissan 240sx commercial (a pink 240sx!?) I thought I saw it somewhere before…
Perhaps this 1979 US Datsun 200sx commercial?
Yep, that’s the one! (ยด??)
Some months ago I posted the hilarious Rose-Mary Nissan Note commercial, but at the same time I already had in mind to post the other hilarious Nissan Note Heidi commercials:
So, what is fuel efficiency then?
Maybe commercial part two answers it:
Hmmm, I still wouldn’t know… :D
Another European car in the reverse fetish: a Simca Rallye 3!
Reverse fetish: JDM Simca Rallye 3
The Simca Rallye 3 was the last generation of the Rallye and only 1000 were made. The specs are amazing: this less than 730 kg heavy (thats the curb weight of the normal Simca Mille!) car is powered by a 1294cc engine that is capable of an output of 105ps (103hp) and is placed behind the rear wheels. It means this little package has a 35/65 front/rear weight distribution and that comes near the 911. Think about it as the original Mini made by Porsche!
To keep this tail happy package on the road the Rallye 3 was lowered, fenders were rolled out and a big spoiler on the rear was necessary for downforce:

The black and white theme was the original color, just as the Celica Supra/Datsun 280Z wheel design is original as well.
Imagine this little engine outputs more power than the average 1.3 liter engine nowadays:

Crazy! ( ???)
I can imagine why the Japanese owner of this Rallye 3 is so fond of his Eurobox. (*????*?)

The photo of this Carina GT-TR in a field really looks like it could be right out of the original Carina A60 catalogue:

I love the big fender mirrors and I wish I would have a larger version of the photo and print it as a large poster!
BTW: anyone got an idea what rims are on this Carina? They look a bit like Hayashi Streets but they clearly aren’t…
