WTF?! Some 80s guy riding his BMX bike is getting chased by a Dekotora truck and a Nissan Laurel C32 policecar?
It is actually a videoclip by Cadillac for the song ????????NO! NO! NO! shot in 1987. I think it is supposed to look like some 80s teen series with the obvious hero, the school and the bad guys (Dekotora truck driver and the police woman). And of course the Nissan Sunny B210 going sideways (a different sideways than drifting ;) ) brings the comical factor in this clip!
Some time ago we did a feature on the bosozoku style Nissan Fairlady Z S30. This week we feature a video with Daijiro Inada looking at the Nissan Fairlady Z S30 (and its successors) including a very nice bosozoku styled version of a Grand Champion Fairlady Z copy by Daisuke Shouten!
Part one:
Very funny to see Nomuken making the mistake of how to start a carburetted car: he wants to start the Fairlady by turning the ignition key. Lucky enough they show him how it is done properly. Funny enough: Daijiro Inada can’t drift, but surely he can start a carburetted car properly! :D
Part two:
Note that this bosozoku styled Fairlady Z has the rear lights of a Skyline C210 Japan and a (badly fit) G-nose. In my opinions this is one of the best looking bosozoku styled Fairlady Zs I’ve seen so far!
It looks like it just rolled out of the factory a few days ago and the owner slapped on a set of SSR Longchamp XR4 at the rear and a set of 2 piece Watanabe RS F817 rims at the front! Then thought a lip would finish off its 80s looks!
I just stumbled across it tonight while searching for something else. Reading the description (Official Pixel Car Role Playing Game) kind of made me almost click away, but since I played forum based role playing games in the past it made me curious and I started reading the introduction. From what I understand it is a car related role playing game which actually is quite well balanced.
I tried to register, but unfortunately they don’t accept new members anymore. So that’s why I’m asking: anyone familiar with Pixel Car Life?
To quote Jalopnik:
Did you miss Gymkhana sensei Ken Block take James May for a spina few hundred spins on last night’s episode of Top Gear? No need to cry. We’ve scoured the interwebs and found the clip for ya!
Well, I did miss it and I’m not really happy I watched it… I’m getting a bit tired of the pre setup, staged, slowmotion videos of Mr. Block.
Don’t get me wrong here: I think he’s one of the best and talented drivers on this whole planet and he’s awesome when he takes tight corners and spaces with his Scooby! You can almost consider him as one with his car!
However…as you can see in the Top Gear clip this whole round is staged and set up beforehand. All cameras are perfectly in place and several shots are taken multiple times (see differences in tiretracks, skidmarks and smoke) and especially the finale jump is one big show setup. Must have taken them several runs to get that one right… Well, at least they flattened the ramps each time. ;)
Of course there was one run with James May and all his comments and reactions are genuine, but it is very obvious this is another arranged Ken Block video, just like the previous two… And that’s what what bores me…
Damn!! I did some dirty fixes on my cars in the past, but using a can of pringles to repair your air intake?? Well, hopefully this was only a temporarily outback fix and not a fix for your daily driver! :D I would certainly use a can of Pringles to fix my air intake if I were stuck in the outback!
