No votes yet

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!


DOTS: Two more Toyota FJ Cruisers

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
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:

DOTS: 1992 red Honda Beat

No votes yet

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!

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!


DOTS: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Last week I spotted a big Toyota parked near the office. A few hundred meters later I vaguely remembered what it was and returned to the spot. It was a Toyota FJ Cruiser:

When I saw the pictures on the net in 2006 and 2007 I always thought the FJ Cruiser was much bigger than this, in my memory it had at least the proportions of a Hummer H2. Well you can see it is actually smaller than the Volvo XC90 parked next to it!

Then after taking the second shot the crap-cam died on me again, so you will have to do with this shaken (but not stirred) shot of it:

There I fixed it: pringles FJ cruiser

Your rating: None Average: 5 (1 vote)

I found a new hilarious site called there I fixed it showing bizarre ingenious everyday fixes. One of them was a Toyota FJ cruiser engine fixed with a can of pringles:
Pringles powered?

Damn!! I did some dirty fixes on my cars in the past, but using a can of pringles to repair your air intake?? Well, hopefully this was only a temporarily outback fix and not a fix for your daily driver! :D
I would certainly use a can of Pringles to fix my air intake if I were stuck in the outback!
