Simple number 3 works for me best i think

Andy

 

Yep I agree no.3 it is

 

number 6 i reckon

 

My Chinese is darn rusty, but I do believe the Chinese characters mean "Sky Dog"?

Does that signify something?

 

Hi Rt The kanji is Japanese, and what you said is quite interesting, the kanji is translated as Ten, and gu tengu, then ten mountain goblin (can see the Chinese sky dog, sort of)

I think (disclaimer my Japanese is not that good) the ten is translated as heaven (sky) and the gu as goblin

Very interesting cheers

KEEP THE VOTES ACOMING

Why is this on a scooby forum? well everyone knows scooby drivers have the best taste (hehe)

 

Jack has just seen the pics and reckons no. 3 looks best

 

3 & 7 together, best of both worlds - Looking good

 

Why would you put Kenji on a non-Japanese car?

I'd personally go for someting like number 3, but maybe with a fat stripe in the middle with 2 pinstripes either side, if you know what I mean.

 

3 and if you really want it 7 as well!

 

Yes it does say "SKY DOG" in Chinese.

I'll go for picture 3 or you can try your surname translated.

Ray

 

Thnx for that ray

seems twin stripe is the winner

Just done some research, seems the tengu never appeared in chinese mythology (or i have not found it yet), the tengu was a winged goblin that taught the yamabushi fo fight, many of the fabled ninjutsu schools have strong links to the tengu, and some wood carvings show the teng teaching their arts of ken jutsu (the art of the sword) to people, it is one of the few things Japanese that did not derive from china,(even though the kanji here may be identical to "sky dog" in Chinese, it is does not mean sky dog in Japanese) that along with the beloved meneke neko (spelling?) you know the cat you see in Chinese takeaways, its paw is raised and a big gold coin around its neck (incidentally what is called in Chinese?) (irashai irashai- “come in come in” heheh spelling?) to invite you to come in, its good luck for shop keepers and the like.

Very fascinating I will do some research into the “gu”, part of the kanji see how dog, changed to goblin form the original Chinese kanji into the Japanese.

Cheers dude, keep them coming

OO its like a cultural lesson all in one

Here is the kanji for dog, as you can se it is different to that of the Chinese

 

just found:
Tengu is a mythical mountain goblin. Tengu has a red face and extremely long nose, and carries a hauchiwa (feathered fan). Part man and part bird, tengu have supernatural powers, though they are mischievous rather than evil.

Tengu are worshipped by yamabushi (mountain priests), they usually wear the costume of yamabushi with tall geta (wooden clogs). Minamoto Yo****sune (a great warrior in 12th century) is famous for being taught martial arts and strategy by a tengu on Mt. Kurama, north of Kyoto.

Tengu also have been known to abduct children. In the Kamakura Period (1192-1333), there were many sudden disappearance attributed to kidnappings by tengu.

There is a saying "tengu ni naru (to become a tengu)," which means to become conceited.

 

It's gotta be no. 5! You get the stripes and the writing together, nice.

 

Cheers beef

 

Being a bit of an expert when it comes to all things oriental,
the writing in question actually means "I wish I was a Caterham"....

(only joking, looks the db's) no 3.

EB

 

3 or 6!

 

Catflap, r u riding a sushi-bar or something!?
Doing some research myself found this one here : http://www.tengu.cc/

CHeers!
Matt

 

HEHEH easy i thought caterhams were expensive westfields


Light blue touch paper and stands back.......

thanx

 

HEHHEHE

Had to do loads of work to get the picture, ended up drawing it again myself as the one on the site is too small, that has to be the maddest name for a restaurant heheh

Trying to figure out what cat flap would be, asked a Japanese friend and he did not know

There may not be a catflap in kanji, but I can make cats door, or cats entrance may use these in the kanji instead of the tengu, but I do so love tengu, been fascinated by them for many years, and their wiley mountain goblin ways

 

How about something like this (belongs to a guy I knew at university)
It's called the Fresian Seven

yeh ive seen that one before, hehe it looks fantastic, i want something a little unconventional dare to be different and all that

The stripes look nice, but its been done to death, I might opt for the kanji and if i dont like it ill go with what everyone recons, the 2 stripes, they are cool in a retro sort of way

If i go for the stripes im gona put a big number 6 on the back, with a small caption

"i am not a number, i am a free man"

 

Catflap go against what everyone says on here, I mean look at the new scooby shape!!!!

Stripes are boring as ****

 

You could be right damaja mate

Stripes look very nice on the 7 style car, but the kanji is different


Just got to try convince goold old salsa to make up the stickers (hehe)

 

If it's Honda-powered, you should put the kanji inside a red circle (Mitsubishi Zero stylee). Kind of like the BAR Lucky Strike livery -- pity your Westie isn't white

 

Yeah Kanji different mate, if you wanna be different go agaisnt the grain not with it.

 

Ive seen a caterham with the lucky stripe sticker work, looked realy nice

 

Just leave it has it is / plain and simple, dont go and max power the car mate.

 

Having heard one of these at a Bassingbourn track day, they sound fantastic and go like a bullit.
However, whatever way you decide to dress it up, you cant polish a turd!!!.

Sorry, only joking again. I'm a Caterham owner and I couldn't resist it.
I like the sound of a red circle number thingy ie lucky strike....

respect
