Remembering Japanese cars from the past
One of the most powerful NA 4AGE engines ever: the Formula Atlantic 4AGE engine!
Peek-a-boo: a 240HP 4AGE!
A lot of people confuse this engine with the 20 valve silvertop used in the infamous panda Trueno in some wellknown anime series: it is not the same engine! The Formula Atlantic has been a 16 valve throughout its 15 year career in these series while the 20 valve TRD silvertop was used in the Japanese counterpart used in Group A.

This is one of the most amazing second hand car dealers I’ve seen so far: Flex Auto has two mint Hakosuka Skyline GC10s, a Cedric 430, a Crown MS50, a Crown MS60, a Nissan Cedric Y30 V3.0 Turbo Brougham VIP (that is surely the longest car name ever!), a Skyline Japan, a Toyota Corona GSS hardtop coupe and, of course, a panda Toyota Levin AE86:
I’d wish the secondhand car dealer around the corner would feature such a magnificent lineup!

A month ago I posted about this Nissan 350Z parked in my neighborhood. Apparently it is a regular or a new resident: I found it parked in the same parkinglot covered in snow!
DOTS: Nissan Fairlady 350Z
So I quickly took some nice snapshots with my EOS/Helios combo. :)
Everything gets more beautiful when covered in snow:

The Z-logo looks even better when it is covered with a tiny film of snow:

Unfortunately I focussed on the indicator light below the logo and not on the Z itself. :(
Also the mirror looks a bit lost when covered in snow!

Last, but not least: what does the rear of the car remind you of? A Prius perhaps?

Maybe a bit mean, but when I saw the rear covered in snow and I tilted my head a bit it really resembled the silhouette of a Prius. ;)
The Toyota America must have been thinking forward 30 years when they made this TE72 Corolla Liftback commercial:
Almost all Corollas from the E70 range have transformed into rustoseums, so better put a TE72 in a museum when it was brand new! :P
BTW: this actually happened at the Louwman Museum: they put away a bunch of brand new Toyotas every year to ensure they are preserved. :o
I think the title already explained it: bunch of weird Japanese lunatics show the browser war. Prepare for some Chrome vs Opera vs Firefox vs Internet Explorer insanity!
A few weeks ago I posted about this Datsun 240K GT, so my heart skipped another beat when I spotted this ad on Marktplaats (Dutch auction site) today:
Datsun 240K GT on Marktplaats
But immediately I spotted that it was actually a wanted ad and not a sales ad. Apparently ssaam, hf4ever, Sam and serdaraydintr did not spot it that difference easily…
BTW: I’ll post the interesting example pictures from the ad later this week.
