Carina Sightings: Carina Coupe on Mooneyes Mania Cruise

November 19, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

I came across this nice Carina Coupe last week on Japanese Nostalgic Car blog:

Carina Coupe on the Mooneyes Mania Cruise in March 2008

No idea what the specs of the car are, but what I deduct from the looks of the car it probably is an AA63 4AGE powered coupe. I don’t think you’d need a revmeter for tuning the 3T-TGE unless you want to look interesting. ;)

I’m not too sure about the rims: they look like Konig Rewinds however those wheels are just as rare in Japan as the Wantanabes are here in Europe. Maybe someone after an Irish-twincam-look?

Better again!

I’m finally better again!! :)
I had the flu since last wednesday but still felt dizzy after recovering. Went to the doctor and it turned out one of my Eustachian tubes is clogged and that’s making me feel dizzy.

Will start posting again soon! :)

Carina Sightings: Danish Carina tractor

Okay okay… I know… I’m slacking here, but today I’m ill and feel like I really need to go to bed EARLY. Something that did not happen in the past few days. :(

Anyway, here it is: the Danish Carina van tractor

I was probably already beyond saving anyway, but still… I would at least tried to save it! :(

Best motorcycle ever: Honda Cub

November 11, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

I remember when I was in highschool I always wanted to have a moped. I actually got a 1967 Typhon Blitz (rebadged Motor Morini) and I was very happy with it. But actually I always wanted to own a Honda C50, also known as the Honda Cub.

I see it got elected as best motorcycle ever:

I think they forgot to mention one thing that can destroy the Cub: rust! Like every Japanese vehicle they are prone to rust. Back in the early 90s they were already rusting away at the front and rear fender (most of the surviving had only a small piece left) and slowly deteriorating the rest of the frame.

Still a great bike though! :)

What do I do for a living?

I’m an IT Architect at Spil Games and I always have great difficulty to explain to people what that actually is. Well, my colleague found this great video on Youtube about it:

I think that explains it perfectly at 1:05 till 1:42!
I’m a mix between all three architects in the example. :)

Hilarious: The Mysterians (Chikyû Bôeigun)

I came across this hilarious movie when looking through these 50 stunning Asian movie posters. (Thanks to I.Z. Reloaded!)

The Mysterians Movie Poster

I really love the description on IMDB:
So this film concerns hooded aliens who come to Earth with plans to capture and have sex with Earth women. So they release a huge bird-like robot named Mogera (it later returned renovated in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla) to prove they mean buisness. The army manages to defeat it by booby trapping the bridge and blowing it up while the monster is using it. Then the battle for the cosmos begins with the Mysterians and their ray firing ships and the humans and their markalite lasers.
Hooded aliens who want sex with our women!! OMG! Keep them away from our women!! :D

I really love this American trailer:

In case you want to watch the (more superior but less funny) Japanese trailer:
