While looking through some of the previous posts i noticed that buddyclub's english on their buddyclub.com.au site is truly appalling to the point that it looks like it was cut and pasted from a tranlating program....so i decided to test the theory.

I took the following text from http://www.buddyclub.com.au/product/racing_spec_breakpad/racing_spec_breakpad_content.html

You suppose wide travelling stage from street winding to the mini- circuit drift and handle and seriously considering easiness. The braking efficiency which is stabilized in the wide temperature limits is shown.
*Proper Temperature: 0〜600 degree Celsius
*Material: Titanium & carbon

(a description of their type sports brake pad)

I then took the Japanese description from the buddyclub japanese site of the same product http://www.buddyclub.jp/r_brakepad/index.html

and cut and pasted it into the translator on http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html
and got the following computer translation:

You suppose wide travelling stage from street winding to the mini- circuit drift and handle and seriously considering easiness. The braking characteristic 狽 ・which is stabilized in the wide temperature limits you show. 0 proper temperature limits: 0 - 600 ℃ 0 materials: Titanium & carbon

i think the similarity is too close to ignore...conclusion BUDDYCLUB IS SPRUNG!!!

I invite everyone to try and spring other companies doing the same thing...
