Props to team Racing Mate

the blue potato · 05-21-2006, 08:46 PM

Got some BIG stickers in mail today and just looking for possible placement:

freedomgli · 05-21-2006, 09:04 PM

Whoa! That's sweet! Any word on where I might be able to get some? And I noticed your new "Nostalgic Roadster's Official Club" signature. What's that all about? Is there a website or a hi-res image?

Bryan · 05-22-2006, 02:52 AM

I'm fighting the urge to ask...oh well...

the blue potato · 05-22-2006, 08:44 PM

I have a few more - I get them from Japan direct....here is the Yahoo Japan store:

SPIDE'SStore

You never did forward the info to me but I think I've found it on my own.

Spide's Store.....Ha Ha.....that has certain connotations in the UK

Other Racing Mate goods:

I think I'm going to have to get me one of those Hesketh Racing stickers....

Mr.Woolery · 05-27-2006, 01:33 PM

This one made me bust up laughing:

I need this decal! :ROFL:

Greg G · 05-27-2006, 06:22 PM

^ That sticker will get you the WRONG kind of attention at stoplights!

Unless that's what you want....

way to live out the stereotype- i get hassled enough as it is..

Doesn't the cloverleaf symbol mean "disabled" in Japan?

freedomgli · 05-27-2006, 07:52 PM

Racing Mate happened way before Japan created their unique cloverleaf/cane type symbol for handicapped.

freedomgli · 05-27-2006, 07:54 PM

People often speculate but the Racing Mate cloverleaf is most likely an Japanisation of the Italian racing quadrifoglio.

You have to admit, it's kind of a funny coincidence.

Since you have the RM logo as your avatar, do you own many of their products?

roadsternut · 05-27-2006, 08:36 PM

More RM spots:

Polished louvered hood is awesome. I was thinking about starting a thread with nothing but pictures of polished aluminum hoods.

Looks neat but that could be dangerous when driving into the sun!

Is Racing Mate still in biz? I can't find a link for them...

Dude, I embrace the stereotype with my car. Heck, my license plate even says "THUPER".

I use it to 1) keep people off balance, 2) as an inside joke for true car enthusiasts who can see past the stereotype, 3) to goad the ignorant--especially musclecar drivers, and 4) to make it that much more humiliating when I beat said musclecar drivers when they insist on racing me.

Think of it along the same lines as what Marty (an east coast drifter) does. He's a competitive drifter that drives a pink Miata with a Hello Kitty motif going on. It's a crowd favorite, especially with the girls. =D>

jesseclee · 05-28-2006, 12:03 PM

Alright- I can't take the suspense anymore- What in God's name is Racing Mate?

Dave,

By the time you're done with it, no one in the local Miata club or on your Whittier to Irvine commute will even recognize your car as a Miata. You'll be driving around a car that's obviously extremely customized bearing a license plate that essentially says, "I'm gay, spank me."

Any potential street race adversary will see that it's a setup.

If you want to challenge dumbly macho guys to stoplight drags, just rev up your engine at the red light. Why even bring your sexual orientation into question?

Just my $.02...

Bill
