We all know the Nissan Skyline C210 was better known as the Skyline Japan. What we never saw so far were the commercials featuring a Ken and Mary driving the C210 while Mary states she loves Japan.
There are some gems between these commercials: the helicopter commercial is quite good and the very un-ken&mary 2000GT commercial is also very 80s. Funny to see how Ken and Mary never seem to age at all!

Creds go to RA64Freddy for finding this weird Toyota Chaser JZX100 nosejob on a Nissan 180SX RPS13:

It kind of resembles a Sil80 but then much better looking IMO. Now should it be called a Chas80 or rather a 180X?
Jeremy Clarkson once declared the Nissan Sunny to be the worst car in the world, ever. Obviously I don’t agree with him because we all know the Alfa Romeo Arna was worse! Anyway, to prove Clarkson wrong I’ll show you how sexy a Datsun Sunny B210 can be:
I must add that anything is more sexy than that huge bloke stripping down to his stubbies, so compared to him even Clarkson would have been sexy! ;)
If you still have no idea what this commercial was for back in 2006, you might get some clues in this commercial

Last week I posted the Mark II Grande with MC Hammer pants (aka harem pants) and on facebook Brad Hogan commented with a link to this video of the LL Brothers:
The LL Brothers was a TV show duo in the early 90s consisting of Takanori (older brother) and Masaya (younger brother) performing synchronous dance like shown in the video above.
They did immitate a lot of popular US rappers, like for instance MC Hammer or Will Smith as show in this video:
Observe their TV Intro:
Apparently they were very popular back then and they somehow managed to convince someone to create three (!) films! Insane! :D
I’m glad Hide7031 did not post up the too well known Ken&Mary Skyline commercials. These eight relatively unknown commercials were actually a quite a surprise for me:
I did say I liked the GC10 commercials better than the Ken&Mary ones, but I do have to admit I think the fourth Ken&Mary (GT) commercial is the best so far: showing the GT on a trailer (racing purpose?), Skyline waving goodbye with its rear wiper and then showing Ken and Mary with a bunch of binoculars as if they are watching a race…
Stay tuned for more commercials! :)
It has been some time since I posted the last rustoseum, so here are some more! What about this poor GA61 Celica XX? It already looks way beyond reasonable repairs:
Toyota Celica XX GA61 Rustoseum
It was supposed to be the flagship of the Celcia XX range… What happened? Did the owner think it got out of fashion? At least the 15 inch 6J Celica XX rims look salvageable…
How about this Silvia S13 in the foliage then?

Nissan Silvia S13 Rustoseum
Sure enough its headlights were stripped, but apart from that it still looks quite complete… Maybe still salvageable?
And the last one, a (former) white MR2:
Toyota MR2 AW11 Rustoseum
It still looks okay and complete: not too much rust. Now is that picture playing tricks with me or does the car next to it have some bosozoku exhaust pipes??
