    I remember Mitsubishi writing a frikkin novel on the lower half of the doors on the old GTO's. basically told you everything about it, basically sold its self and drivers wouldnt get asked whats upder the hood. I cant remember what it said now, but when i was on the wharf i remember seeing lots of stupid ones on RAV4's and toyota ipsums, ill write it down next time i see one.

    How many bikes say motorbike on them?

    Haha, Also saw those zx/krr 150's with 'super real sports' on it. Brilliance. And right next to it, it had a yamaha I think with:
    "FULL FLOATER"... sounds like something you'd find in your toilet rather than on a bike. But what the heck, if it goes its cool. I'll ride a floater anytime.

    i saw one the other day that cracked me up, was on an SUV but cant remember which one but it said "XXXXX goes from urban place to exciting wild outdoors place with ease and supreme handling" or something to that effect.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I like the 'Largo' vans. At least they are honest about it being slow.
    Not like the Austin Allegro

    One of those SUV thingos says:
    "Anywhere and everywhere we can meet with our best friend Nature. Take a grip of steering."

    The one that gets me is the Mitsubishi Emina - it's too close to 'enima' for my liking.
    "Say - what kind of car do you drive?"
    "Uh..oh...um... I drive an Emina."
    "You don't say? I bet that really gives you the shits!"
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    The Tee shirts are better
    The one I saw the other day was great
    Star wars
    Star whores ...nice young lady to

    or
    wiggee buggy girl... that one Ihave noo Idea what she was thinking

    The funny thing is that Kanji is popular as a tattoo, and if you look at some of the naughty young ladies ..and me they have Kanji tattood ,, which effectively say the same as what we are laughing about

    As for packaging of Jap products, I cannot understand why they cant just ring up the local english school ....Even the big chev dealer in a multi million dollar show room had a spelling mistake on the shop window !

    My brother bought this t-shirt at one of those crazy asian cheap random stuff stores. It's got on the front "The crispy yum" and underneath "butter toast flavour cookies" with a picture of an old school japanese toy robot on it. I want one, but the store closed a couple of years ago. I'll email him to see if he can send me a pic... it's in pretty shitty shape though because he's been wearing it about once a week for the last 2-3 years.

    It's got this kind of writing on it... http://www.joshjacobson.net/pics/shirts/crispyYum.jpg
    but with graphics. I'll try and find some better ones.

    In one of Tom green's movies there is a drink vending machine saying
