Euro plates on bloody Lexus 4wd's is worse in my book

to the dude who spent a little while in japan recently- i know. They dont make their cars look stupid like that.

On another note, thats why i will always have a soft spot for that metallic purple pink color. I lived near the trust garage in sapporo, and that was their team color for every car. Their starlet turbo would murder corners faster than anything i have seen going around bends in real life here.

But in terms of advertising- last thing i would do when promoting my japanese car business, is drive such an obviously euro car.

I doubt it was his company car. This thread runs the risk of many believing unequivocally that it must have been some sort of promo thing for some magical business, but the devils advocate is not always on point. It was a private car, thats that. Unless we are all to believe that every mirage coupe (two door 'lancer') with a ralliart sticker is really a vendor for evo performance parts....

Actually, come to think of it, the devils advocate says they might just be.....

Well said mate. True Jap performance garages usually do a bloody good job with their cars and graphics and its the people who don't have much taste or ability in graphic application or knowledge of what they're doing that screws it up. For example I saw a guy drive a toyota camry with its toyota badge replaced with a BMW badge and another poor soul driving a toyota supra with the Mitsubishi ralliart sticker on the top of their front windscreen. Another hilarious example I've seen many years ago was a VW beetle with a porsche like bodykit with the porsche badge replacing the VW badge (sorry if I hit a nerve on anyone here on this or other forums but its damn funny).

lol gotta love it too when people cross-breed ralliart stickers etc onto their camrys.

There is a Camry getting around up here with the fully sik exhaust, custom air brush paint job, full body kit, and nothing else going for it...Usually seen with 4 blokes hanging out of the windows!!!....Why would you ****ing bother!!!!

[Buller_Scott]

lol... i have no idea.

im sorry, but i have a thing about camrys- its the ultimate non-discriminatory car.

it dont matter what color you are, what age, what gender, what sexuality, what body shape.... if you drive a camry, you're a crap driver.

unless people define ''good driving'' as driving 20km/hr under the limit in the fast lane on the freeway with indicator on, indicating that they plan to merge into the concrete barrier in the middle of the freeway, but wheels taking up part of the lane to the left of them too.

Ive seen the same sort off Polo here in WA (diff jap tuning tho), and after speaking to the guy who drove it....Turns outs alot of his customers loved the car as the tuning choices are huge. But no this guy didnt sell parts for VWs.
