Chaiman Kaga is hilarious and why he chooses to eat a whole, raw capsicum in the opening credits is something I will never understand. Judging by the look on his face, he didn't understand it either.

I speak Japanese a bit so some of the translations are really funny. There are an awful lot of un-translatable colloquialisms in Japanese and listening to the ridiculous American English attempts is priceless. The selection of dishes is also incredible, especially to a western palate.

I want to see Jamie Oliver vs Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai using something like truffles! That would be a fantastic battle.

I agree totally. The Iron chef was a great show (Japanese version) and the American voiceovers were very "special".:D :D

I would like to see Jamie vs Iron Chef Italian using something like eggplant. :)

How about Iron Chef French vs Gordon Ramsay!!!:twisted:

I remember they did one with tuna,,,

started off with this massive bluefin,, about the size of a small horse,, 30 seconds with a sharp knife,, ended up with a couple of nice steaks:D

VIN plate 5/79 S3? you say, OK I'll double check. thanks. Iron Chef - Japanese cuisine show- the host and the three master chefs were quite amusing, little old lady judge was a bit full of it though.
As for the mention of Jamie Oliver? Pardon me, but to me he is a foul mouthed boor.

If it has a VIN plate it is a S3 - they were not invented when the S2a went out of production. Note that I doubt it is labelled as a Series 3 or anything anywhere!
Series 3 is easily distinguished from the Series 2a - a few checks:-

Windscreen hinges : S2a hinges are part of bulkhead and windscreen frame
S3 hinges are bolted on, single hole.
Instrument panel: S2a Metal, in the middle
S3 Plastic, in front of driver
Door checks : S2a Sliding bit is on bulkhead
S3 Sliding bit is on door

There are quite a few other differences, but most of them are on bits that can easily be swapped, so are not very definitive. The key, of course is chassis number, but as I said, if it has a VIN plate, it is an S3.

Thanks John, I am now the proud owner of an Ex Victorian CFA S3.

First time landy owner, what the wot would I know. But I learn, and learn.

Best show on TV: Iron Chef

Worst show on TV: Iron Chef America

Iron Chef (Japanese one) cracks me up. It's as much comedy as cooking show but I almost always want to try the things they make. Most look delicious !

However... did you ever see the one where they hung up that slimy fish and filled it with water so they could skin it / butcher it ? **** that was 'orrible ! Made Mekong River catfish look attractive.

Jamie Oliver V's the Iron Chefs would be a great to watch


My favorite Iron chef is the one who uses the razor sharp ninja sword/machette to cook with.

The voice overs while crap give the show a monkey magic type of atmosphere which makes it watchable crap.
