Cool Japanese Transport

May 22nd, 2008 by Neil

On the way to the station tonight i spotted this Japanese guy pulling up to the Jihanki for a drink, probably a late afternoon fix of Green Tea.

I was just writing recently about how Japanese mothers drive huge “mini” vans, big enough for 8 people, while their salaryman husbands drive considerably smaller cars. Neil has spotted an extreme example. Check out this salaryman, ripping up the stre…

I saw someone riding an ATV down an island road last weekend. The rims were not as cool as the one in your pic though.

Woah! You see that kinda crap in the country here, but never on major roads. That’s probably because all the gas-guzzling SUV’s would flatten anyone stupid enough to be on one of those.

At least it’s safer than a motorcycle. I’m curious at how fast it is with such small tires. Anyone have a link to this atv’s site>?

G’day Neil,
Have enjoyed going over some of your entries over the last months.
In relation to the Quad, while in Germany , I saw quite a few of these registered on the road ,some quite heavily modified for street use too.
It certainly spun me out the first day I saw one parked with registration plates on it.
I also saw one of these in Germany too , check it out, GG Quad

Hey Ben … thanks for the info and good news on making it to Sweden …. i’m sure i’ll see some updates on facebook and get more detail on where you’re working.

As for the Quad … you’d never guess what software they use to design it would you. We have a few demo sets of this rendered up quite nicely. Will try and find some and send you a few pics.
