I take it this really is some kind of joke yes? Am I typing this message into a food mixer, a garden chair or a computer?

From the photograph, this item's original purpose is clearly identifiable as either a car auxialiary drive or timing belt.

Im really not trying to be rude Hans, but you posted a question and I have replied to it.

The markings on the belt indicate a manufacturer and have Japanese characters. A search on the brand name / maker clearly shows this company still to be operational and supplying the self same belt today. Unfortunately my Japanese skills are not good enought to persue the matter futher and identify exactly which models of car this item fits, so that you might be able to cross reference this with anything you have owned previously. Click on the link.....yes unfortunately you have to scroll down the page...

If you read my post carefully I was gently trying to suggest that you might have followed the few clues available and used one of the most powerful tools on the planet, ie Google, before posting to avoid what looks ultimately likely to be an embarrassing, if genuine, mistake.

Just as this would have only taken a few seconds at the keyboard, so would some simple thanks for my post

Yes and even within countries humour varies, because we both live in the Netherlands about 30km away from each other.

And yes, I did check the site from the manufacturer.
But me Japanese isn't that good.

Hi Ade,

I was replying to AJ's response, not yours.
If you brought in some useful information, I thank you for your post.

Thanks! This seems to be the right one.
I guess this solves the mystery.

Strange I didn't find it myself.
I'm in the middle of a mail correspondence with Marc (isellprojectorbelts) about belts for the Bauer T610 and the Visacustic 1000/2000.
