Hmm

It's got me stumped......

It would appear that in japan the word for C210/C211 has the same meaning as the word "Japan" or something...because if i type "my japan" into google i get heaps of C210/C211 sites

They seem to refer to their cars as "My Japan"

Am I right, or is there some other explanation?

[Rezz]

Got me stumped man, I tried doing the same thing as you, but I just get the usual "Japan weblog" and tourist type websites...

That said, I don't think anyone refers to their car as "my Japan", must be some kind of re-occuring phrase in the search results?

check this out:

Case Number 1

Case number 2 (note the text on the shirts)

Case number 3

Case number 4 (follow the links and you will find much more of the same)

This is how i got the impression that it might be the same word or something

it only happens with c210/c211's seems that c211 = japan lol

I just typed "my japan" into google and it didn't work...but those sites above are what i was talking about

[Rezz]

Yeah, just reading through those sites you posted, and the C210 was dubbed "Japan" because it was the first massed produced sports sedan/coupe to be sold simultaneously throughout Japan back in '77. Much the same as the "Ken Meri" KPGC110, I think the advertising at the time for the C210 "Japan" had alot to do with emotional themes, trying to stike up some 'o that old flower power free love '60s bizzo.

... hence "my Japan"... it's kinda emotional type reference.

it is correct that's what they called them...nickname!

colleague still has his C210 and told me this before.

I'm curious to know what you were searching for......

What sort of results were you after with keywords "my Japan"?

[V8skylineMAN]

Believe it or not Jason, I still keep an eye out on Yahoo Auctions Japan for your hotplate rear tail lights... nothing yet, and I really don't want you to get your hopes up, those C210/11 hotplates are rare, even for here!

Thanks buddy, your a legend! I look occasionally but i have to use babel fish for every little phrase on the page, because for some reason there is an error when you try to translate the whole page from jap to eng...
