Speaking of Japan and racing, not too long ago I watched "Grand Prix"
with James Garner. It has some incredible F1 racing footage from when F1
was worth watching. Anyway The James Garner character looses his ride
with a ficticious British racing team that maybe is supposed to be Lotus,
and is brought on board a ficticious Japanese F1 team (Yamura) headed by
a badly dubbed Toshiro Mifune. I had assumed Yamura was supposed to be
Honda until I saw a Pic on Rob's site of Garner posing alongside a Datsun
Roadster.
Was Yamura Datsun? Cool movie at any rate, worth looking for.

As for color, White with red?
