True, there are a lot of cool little vehicles over there that never make it here. After looking at the first two again, I thought about the Mini Cooper. And yes, the new style xB is pretty sick for a box on wheels powered by a gocart engine

ratpackv8sonly · 04-29-2008, 03:38 AM

Did someone say Mini!!!!

I have a 1969 as a daily driver cause of the gas. 37-41 mpg.

ratpackv8sonly · 04-29-2008, 03:39 AM

Anyone have any more info on these? If it eas for the scion it would make it worth buying finaly.

72freak · 04-29-2008, 03:53 AM

I spent about an hour looking all over the net for some info on these. NO Luck! I did forward the pic to a friend in Japan that may be able to trace the plate on the 72 looking one. We shall see!

ratpackv8sonly · 04-29-2008, 04:01 AM

Sounds good. I to will try to get intouch with a friend in Toyko Japan to try and help out. May take me longer though to get info.

CG · 04-29-2008, 04:21 AM

I still haven't heard back from the person that posted the pics.

I think it is. According to the article the company doing these conversions in Japan is called Blow Dream Factory.

Here:http://www.blow-net.co.jp/

NOne of the trucks on thier website look like those top ones though. Hmm

knsmodels · 04-29-2008, 04:57 AM

I think this is where they are all coming from......pretty cool

http://www.blow-net.co.jp/

sorry guess we where all doing the same research at the same time.....lol

tcb-1 · 04-29-2008, 05:00 AM

some of the Japanese trends are a bit outlandish to me, but those freakin' ROCK!!!!

oh, btw my 99 Civic (bone stock with no mods, thank you!) takes me back and forth to work all week on 10 bucks of gas.

Before this fuel mess started, I was going to pick up a new full size GMC crew cab 4x. Guess that will have to wait.

IvelDesigns · 04-29-2008, 05:04 AM

based on the plate in the first pic, yeah, that's the company that made them. i found their site, but i didn't see any pics of the mini burbs.

Riveted1 · 04-29-2008, 05:06 AM

Haha... I was like WTF are these guys smokin? All posting the same stuff... then I looked at the times.

Wish I could read Japanese. All I could really understand was "Jerry Beans" meant "Jelly Beans." (And no I'm not being racist... look under Line-up #3 Jerry Beans.....)

Sport/Truck · 04-29-2008, 05:10 AM

That is neat....It would be cool to have those here.

Dude that is sweet, i wish i still had a pic of one of the little vans they had in Kuwait I could span it with my arms but it was super dorky. I wonder where you can get those body kits.

B52fizzle · 04-29-2008, 05:33 AM

BAGGERSOCAL · 04-29-2008, 05:55 AM

absolutely!! and wheelie bars.

CG · 04-29-2008, 08:46 AM

A bunch of people on the other forum asked about the pics the guy posted too, here is his response......

Ok, Ok.

Those teeny vans are from a categorie known as "K-cars". They feature a 600cc OR LESS motor that avoids a LOT of tax and registration fees, usually made by Daihatsu or Suzuki. They cost about 8 Gs brand new.

eg Suzuki Cappucino

http://japanoid.com/

http://www.suzuki-collection.com/car...1332/index.htm

The guy standing next to them is 5 foot tall.

If you look carefully, 2 of them are actually NOT vans, but miniature station wagons.

That's what I was thinking.... but a Blown 454!!!

EDIT: I just noticed they're right hand drive too... Those things are super badass!!

Someone said the dude next to the car is 5' tall?

CJ5 Convert · 04-29-2008, 09:27 AM

In my Farm Show Magazine I'm always seeing the used mini trucks from Japan and China. It is becoming a large industry here. Because they can buy a street legal car to haul feed around the farm. There are bunch of importers out there I'm sure they are bringing those vans in too. Just search mini trucks and farm use.

Bah, hang tight the picture didnt load....

The one in the first pics has Blow on the plate so it must have came from that site. That would be a cool daily driver. Chop the back off and make a truck out of it.

Those are "way cool",
