Honestly I do love Top Gear, but I simply can't find the time to actually follow it... Most of the time I just wait for the reviews and see if I really need to see an episode...
People already speculate that this actually might be the last series of the new Top Gear, which I can understand since all three of them are already presenting the new format for 8 years now (I know, May only 7...) and it slowly starts to become difficult to make the series even better than last season. ;)

Back to the old series: I found this clip from the old series (1991) where Jeremy Clarkson test drives a couple of the finest Japanse kei cars:

I was really puzzled on how much he actually liked them! Was he more forgiving in his early years or did he become soft for the little ones??

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!

As I said last week in the Honda Beat DOTS: I would come back to the FJ Cruiser parked behind it... Well I want to talk about this yellow FJ Cruiser first:

Yellow 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
I spotted it parked a few villas away from the 2005 light blue Honda S2000. I took some quick photos of it and put it aside (for better times...) and didn't think about it for some time. Combined with the pictures of another yellow 2008 FJ Cruiser it was able to make it as a posting!

Here another snapshot of the Honda Beat together with the yellow FJ Cruiser:
The other FJ Cruiser after the jump!

I already thought finding a Toyota FJ Cruiser would be quite unique, but when I looked a bit further down the road I spotted a small tiny red cabriolet: a red Honda Beat! Opposed to the (RHD) Suzuki Cappuchino the Honda Beat was never sold in Europe, let alone in the Netherlands! So this Beat only drove 12 years of its life on the Japanese soil!

Down on the Street: FJ Cruiser and Honda Beat
So unless you would go to a JDM car meeting this should be a quite unique shot!

I'll come back to the FJ Cruiser in a later DOTS, this week is focussed upon the Beat!
Read on for two more Beat pictures!
