Back in the 70s Mitsubishis best selling car was the Galant. About every model in their lineup was a Galant: Galant Lambda, Galant Sigma, Galant FTO and lets not forget the 1970 Galant GTO!
The commercial has excellent styling and jazzy music. The Hip up coupé sounds catchy and it is extra newwwwww!!!

Now this was a huge laugh for me: the Dekochari!
Dekotora is an abbreviation for Decoration Truck (Torakku). Chari means bicycle, so mixing it up with the Dekotora abbreviation it becomes Dekochari! Dressing up your bike into a Dekotora is just hilarious!
The soundtrack is called Ichiban-boshi Blues (by Bunta Sugawara and Kinya Aikawa) and the footage comes from a video called Dekochari Yarou.
If you thought that wasn’t funny enough, how about the Dekochari at 0:26 being driven by Daijiro Inada?
And how about another one just for the road? :P
I just love the composition of this picture: the Mooneyes logo on the truck is watching this four door Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30!
I’m watching you: Nissan Skyline DR30
Yes, the RS-Turbo isn’t Moon Equipped and sits on a set of Formula Meshes… It is just as if the logo was saying: I’m watching you! You’re not even Moon Equipped! :D

I spotted the pictures of Davy’s Carina at first at Phils car blog, then headed over to Garage Slipway to read the whole story behind its run on Hampton Down.
Davy’s Carina TA63 at Hampton Down
Here the Carina is still running fast, but after only a couple of laps he heard a loud thudding noise and pulled up in the pits. Apparently nothing looked weird and he headed back on the track.
Had a look and couldn’t determine what it was. So what the heck I went out again. Then halfway around the track BANG, then no power. To be specific, no fuel as the line snapped and wrapped around the driveshaft which bought my car to a halt at the first hairpin.

The fuel line was probably grabbed by the driveshaft after it had some sort of in imbalance. Seen such a thing happen with Mux’s Levin AE86 and it turned out that one of the bolts on the rubber pivot was broken off. You can imagine what happens next when you are driving hard on a circuit. :o

I must say the JDM zenki Trueno AE92 bumper suits Davy’s Carina very well!
And this is how the Carina remained the rest of the session:

Parked up in the pits. A sad sight. :(
Photos were taken by Matt Malcolm.
Yes, it is indeed a painful (pun intended) sight to see a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 this way:
Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
I don’t think it will get the title of the most expensive itasha ever since I’ve seen several Ferrari and Lamborghini covered completely with anime vinyls.
On the other hand Haruhi blends perfectly in with the blue periodically correct racing stripes:

So even though it may be painful it is also done with great taste! ;)

Someone took the time and effort to make a compilation video of 5 minutes of the Abunai Deka Nissan Leopard F31 chasing other cars with a catchy 80s upbeat song under it:
That’s about 30 episodes in 5:05! Pure overkill! I don’t think I can handle much more Abunai Deka than this! :P
