Happy Hachi Roku day! :)

Like you probably know or already read/heard it is today hachi roku day!
What is hachi roku day then? From Japanese hachi translates into 8, roku into 6 so in other words: 86. Today it is August sixth. Get it? If you are from Europe probably not, but in Japan and the US this date reads 8-6, hence it is hachi roku day today! ;)

To celebrate hachi roku day I have some funny AE86 videos for you today! Let's kick off with the AE86 dry run:

So how about a Corolla E80 FWD vs RWD commercial comparison? South African FWD:
Moonwalk, GT-S commercial, old man George doing donuts and cute little kid saying hachiroku on the next page!

Let's continue (and finish) the highlights of Japan Classic Sunday 2010!

First of all these two blue Corolla KE30s drew my attention:

I briefly spoke to the owner and his buddy. They surely love to keep these old Rollas alive! :)

Another Corolla, but this time PetzK's AE86:
Three more highlights (AE86, Datsun 280C wagon and a Levin BZ-G) after the break!

I just uploaded all worthy pictures I took at Japan Classic Sunday 2010. I haven't commented them yet but I surely will do that in the upcoming week. I'll also start posting pictures from the meet now and then. Let's kick off with some highlights!

Trip to the JCS 2010
The trip to JCS was already a highlight! Five old/youngtimers cruising on the highway and of course we could all keep up with modern traffic. Only the TE71 (currently an AE71 with 20v blacktop) had some difficulties now and then: who says a blown headgasket can keep you from going to a meeting? So he just filled up that radiator with some water now and then... ;)

Go here for the Honda Beats and Haselbeck AE86 highlights!

No hilarious posting today? Well I already posted something radical earlier this week and this US commercial is somewhat hilarious as well! ;)

I know it sounds a bit weird dissing the AE86, but I had a very good laugh when I watched this US commercial of the new Toyota Corolla GT-S AE86: it is cheesy, it is very US and it even has a (double) Toyota jump in the end!

It takes guts to redesign one of the worlds most popular cars! (eclipse and lightning sound!)
Introducing the new Toyota Corolla...reborn!
This sports liftback was reborn to please you with its balanced handling!
Reborn to please your friends with its surprising performance!
Reborn to please anyone with its low Toyota price!
The 1984 Toyota Corolla sports liftback!
Reborn to please the world! (another eclipse and lightning sound!)
Okay I admit: they were right about the car: it surely pleased me with its handling, it surely did please my friends with its surprising performance, it surely had a very low price and apart from me it also did please the world by featuring as main car in Initial D! :D

Last week I already posted 86jnosakuretu48te's Mc Donalds drift run and if you watched it right till the end you would have noticed him drifting Ebisu North reverse and entering the Paddock with insane speed. He wasn't alone that day: ae86lan joined him and captured some of his insanity on video:

This is not the same run as the Mc Donalds run, but I think you get the picture. ;)
