stumbled across this pic ...  ...and thought to myself that it looked a bit like a fish out of water parked outside a council house in "whereverville" rather than downtown tokyo... what others have you spotted?? |

An exercise in 'how to make your van more difficult to fit in a parking place', perhaps? Don't recognise the van it's based on - presumably a Japanese import?

This off on a tangent but still car related and about being out of place. I've always liked 50s American cars and particularly old 40s/50's pick-up trucks. I'd love one.
The only thing that puts me off about 40s/50s trucks is that the people who drive them always have to be dressed in 40s/50s clothes, with the hair just right, the right boots, the right jeans with enough turn-up to make a pair of shorts out of, the keys on a key chain etc etc.
So I've always had this strong desire to own an authentic survivor-looking 40s/50s truck, but to turn up at meets and jump out of it with a wet look 80s footballer mullet, a bright purple shell suit with dynamic graphic flashes, a pair of Adidas samba and a massive ghetto blaster, smoking some JPS king size fags... and just stroll up and join in with the chat like I fit right in... and then wait for them to point out I'm in the wrong era.
I just think that would be excellent. I'm a bit odd like that.

I get Classic American magazine and, when they report on big shows they always have pics of women the wrong side of 60 dressed like ONJ in Grease and the guys dressed to resemble James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. Frankly, they look bloody ridiculous. They also always have sodding Rockabilly bands with female vocalists that just look wrong and, and, and..... I would dearly love to go to one of those shows but, christ on a bike, the whole 'look' puts me off big time. |

Ahahahaha Stepping out of a 1940's survivor Dodge, but dressed as MC Hammer in shimmering gold, and doing that sideways crab shuffle he used to do, over to the rockerbillies while shouting "UH OH UH OH HERE COMES THE HAMMER!" Minds would be blown. People would be so confused. I think some of them might cry. |
