When I found the picture of Fuji International Speedway I posted last week I got an Initial D feeling from the whole scene. So I could not resist modifying it with some comic sound effects from Initial D:

Comic version: Fuji Speedway International visit
Even better to keep this version in your family album, right?

I know: airbagged cars and Itasha don't mix, but these airbags are a different kind of airbags: they replace the original item of this Lancer Evo V:

Airbags in an itasha Lancer Evo V
Yes, that's of course the perfect airbags for an anime loving itasha owner! ;)

Just for the record, this is how the whole Evo V looks like:

Very nicely done, but not exactly my cup of tea! ;)

Currently I'm at the AEU86 Meeting but because you may get bored I thought I'd share this manga I came accross this week: Arthur's Garage (Sakuhin Arthur).

The manga is about a garage owner called Arthur who sell used car and does a lot of shakotan cars. The manga started out underground but soon got published in Kodansha's Young Magazine. Initial D was originally published in Young Magazine as well, so that's a good start.

I love the sight of this:

Not many people know it, but my first name is officially Arthur. ;)

Can't wait to lay my hands upon one of the issues. :)
Anyone knows where to buy them or get scantranslations??
