Oh dear! The 'boss' is away and we're useless without him...with no-one to crack the whip, the usually-reliable RSM team gets all lethargic and no use to anyone and it's you, our loyal readership that suffers. It's Tuesday and we've not fed you any tasty retro related motoring morsels yet. Hopefully this batch of splendid Japanese classic car videos we've discovered on The 'Tube will go some way to apologise for our unforgivable lack of effort.
Video Number One: The awesomely titled 'Funny Case : No Suspension Cars'. I want to get a sticker made saying that to put on my back window!
Video Number Two: Japanease Old School Street Racers. 37 seconds of low-flying goodness...you can even forgive the bizarre spelling of the word Japanese!
Video Number Three: '1994' Ten years too late for a George Orwell reference I'm afraid so I'll just tell you how much I like that black GC110 Skyline...I like it a lot.
Video Number Four: コロナ 吸いこみ？is the title which means 'Acting silly with cool cars near the beach'...actually that's a lie but my translation reckons the title is actually 'Corona Sucking?' and I didn't want to put that because I quite like Coronas and my Mum always told me that if you haven't got anything good to say, don't say anything. Wise words Mum, thank you.
How do you follow that? Easy...with a short clip of an overpowered Marina Van caught on film whilst parking at The Ace Cafe recently. Two things are worth mentioning: 1. It's so loud that it woke my cat up even though I'm listening with headphones and 2. You'll be worried that he's going to go through the window...an understandable fear but it's OK, he doesn't.
Phew!
