Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought "rice rocket" all started with the Japanese Motorcycle invasion; an invention of the Harley boys.

Blech! I hate friggin'Skittles.

But, I like Swedish Fish.



If I hated Swedish Fish, would that make me a racist?

There are a lot of things from Sweden I'd eat. The GTR from Nissan has apparently taken the fastest Nurenburg ring lap, kudos to them. The vehicle looks like a locomotive, not pretty in my eyes but it's clearly fast and at 70K it should give Porsche some headaches for sure.

Actually, I would like to visit Scandanavia in summer after Global Warming makes its climate seem like SOCAL.

It's not what you said. It's the way you said it! - nah you're probably right about where it came from but it's still a derogatory term.

If Racist tones are welcome in this forum Richard then allow me to re-calibrate my thoughts on you guys as a whole. (are you calling me a Bigot now? - wow!)

BTW the fastest lap time charts are littlered with Nissans as well as Porsches.

Can't wait for a group test between the 911 & the new GT-R

'ring Lap Times

I agree, the modded 350ZX is freeky fast. I have had three or four 300 ZX's and loved every one of them.


BTW-No we do not welcome racist remarks and I am not calling you a bigot. However, I was trying to figure out what you considered racist.

That might be right. Many folks call the Japanese Big Four bikes rice rocket, as they are rockets.
