Do the Japanese really have commercials for spam?
Yes they do:
Okay, I admit: it is not the spam you may have expected… But still, advertising for spam is spam. :P
I love the part where the commercial shows a thick slice of spam on top of a nigiri sushi! Amazing!

Down on the street on Thursday? Why?
Because it is a sad day for the Nissan 200SX S14 rustoseum:
Nissan 200SX pushing the daisies
The 200SX passed on! This car is no more! He has ceased to be! The S14 expired and gone to meet his maker! He is a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! He be pushing up the daisies! HIs metabolic processes are now history! He is off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, He’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-CAR!!
* sorry for misuse of the dead parrot sketch *
When I returned to take beautiful fall pictures of the S14 yesterday it had vanished. As you can see the dead leafs even cover the spot where it once stood:
Nothing but dead leafs
I checked the RDW (Dutch license plate registration) to see if it was now re-registered by someone else, but its entry has been removed from there meaning it is no longer a valid registration. That can either mean it has been sold off to some foreigner or has ended up at some junkyard. I fear for the latter…
When I first saw this Carina TA60 sedan I thought the quad headlights were either originals (without the citylights) or taken from a Celica:

But I was wrong: they are from an Audi Quattro!
If you look close enough you can see the original sidemarkers are missing their citylights:

Now that’s creative! :)

I’m curious how this project will turn out in the end!
You can find the porject here.
BTW: this color is the exact same color as my dad’s Carina wagon used to be!
Super Sonico what?
You read it right: a Lancia Stratos Itasha:

Looks quite good, doesn’t it?
And its butt?
Super Sonico Stratos Itasha
Not too bad either!
And en-profile?

WIth a set of oldskool rims it would have looked much better, but apart from that: I’d dig it.
Random picture of a Mark II Grande GX71 I found on Minkara with the same chin spoiler as the Carina GT-TR I posted last week:
Same chin spoiler
I definitely want one! (Both the Mark II and the chin spoiler! ;) )
Last week I realized I haven’t posted about the Nissan 200SX S14 rustoseum since the end of March. Would it still be there?
Yes it is still there:

It is only the beginning of fall, so not many leafs are on it yet…
But the low sun gives a great opportunity to shoot pictures like this:

A bit dark and gloomy looking S14! ;)
Summer didn’t do the car much good either, just take a look at this:
Nissan 200SX S14 in October 2010
It is not only birdcrap that is on there, there is also mold on the steeringwheel. You will have to focus on the top of the steeringwheel to actually see it… I’ll take my manual lenses with me next time to be able to capture the mold better.
Also the left mirror has been smashed now:

That means the same thing as with the Legend: things will only get worse from now on. :(
I’ll see if I can shoot some pictures of the car covered in leafs upcoming weeks. Would be cool to compare with last years picture. :P
