mr. "K" passes.

Post by dodgydan »

Yutaka Katayama (Mr.K) passed away at age 105. may he rest in piece. he was "the father of the Zcar" and is now driving a nos 240z in the sky. even datsun designers run for a long time.
its not the having. its the doing...

Came here to post this. Read his obituary over dinner:

Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson
