DOTS: Miata hunting! (part 8)

Even though I have collected plenty of Miatas already to fill up another three parts I still want to keep this Miata hunt to one single Silver Miata I spotted:

The Silver Miata was parked next to an small industral zone with some car shops. Since I spotted it on a Sunday I don’t reckon it was parked there by one of the shops and since I also just spotted earlier on some guys fixing up an old Celica on a driveway around the corner I suspect it is owned by one of them…

As you can see the Miata had a small bump on its nose but apart from that I must say this a nice looking Miata! It is not the looks I like, but rather the, I hate to say this word, stance of it. It has been dropped till the tires barely hit the fenders and, even though it does not have massive camber nor very wide wheels, it looks very nice this way! Only thing I would change were a bit wider wheels to fill the fenders to the max…

The Miata is owned by a member of the Dutch MX5 Club:

I did have a look on the MX5 Club forums, but I haven’t been able to track down the owner. Perhaps anyone around recognizes the car?

Commerical time: We, motor sports

The last bunch Hide7031 posted so far are the commercials for the Nissan Skyline R31 series. Especially the third commercial shows its 80s brilliance: We, motor sports. That’s about everything you need to know!

The other commercials continue with this catchphrase and do we actually see the 80s Ken and Mary jumping in the fifth commercial?

Commerical time: Ken and Mary love the Skyline Japan

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!

Commerical time: very sexy Datsun Sunny B210

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

Hilarious: the LL Brothers


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
