Well the writing in the circle is toyota in Katakana.

The next 4 characters including the - is corolla in Katakana as well.

For the last 3 characters...I have no idea...I can't read Kanji. However the last character, when on its own is 'kawa' or river.

I guess I could ask my Japanese teacher before school holidays!!!

this is a fantastic page for searching for kanji...
just select a few elements you can recognise, then count the number of strokes.. then pick the correct one.

Sweet cheers dude! Makes sense now!

Basically says:

Toyota - Toyota Corolla kanagawa

Maybe relates to the car and area it came from or dealership.

ANyone else got stickers like these on their cars?
