Remembering Japanese cars from the past
A few weeks ago I posted about this Datsun 240K GT, so my heart skipped another beat when I spotted this ad on Marktplaats (Dutch auction site) today:
Datsun 240K GT on Marktplaats
But immediately I spotted that it was actually a wanted ad and not a sales ad. Apparently ssaam, hf4ever, Sam and serdaraydintr did not spot it that difference easily…
BTW: I’ll post the interesting example pictures from the ad later this week.
I already posted this video in the Bosozoku Style Meeting Monday. The video contains a groundscrapingly low Carina RA45 on deep dished steelies at an Odaiba meeting earlier this month. The Carina clearly has some challenge with the conquering the pavement:
And that sound: lovely!
Definite necessity for your family album, a picture of yourself and your buddy building your own kaido racer out of your dads old Nissan Leopard F30:

Somehow I think this Russian VAZ-21059 (aka Lada 2105) got a small identity problem:
JDM or USSRDM VAZ-21059
Or could it be that it is actually a 21059 replica powered by a Mazda 12A or 13B?
Last monday I cycled to my work and saw these two ice cold Germans parked on the opposite sides of the street:
Ice cold Germans: Audi TT and Porsche 911
In one way they are both great German workmanship and could be seen as friends, but on the other hand they are in the same segment and could be seen as rivals. Nevertheless a nice sight!
When I returned from work it had snowed during the day, the two Germans were still parked on the opposite sides of the street so it gave me the opportunity to shoot the same picture again but this time both covered in snow:
Ice cold Germans: Audi TT and Porsche 911
I know: in the meanwhile the amount of snow fallen in the Netherlands was way more than this, but the next day I found the TT parked somewhere else and the nice duo shot was not possible anymore.
I believe the Porsche is owned by one of the people living on the opposite side of the street (so the Audi side ;) ) and the TT is owned by someone a few blocks away, at least, that’s where I see it parked when I pass it on my way to work. The Porsche is bone stock and the TT is tuned to the full extend and is groundscrapingly low.
BTW: both photos were shot with the Helios 44-2 lens. The second picture “failed” due being taken at 1/4th of a second (so that is 4 on your camera display!) without having anything steady to support the camera except my two legs.
I’m sohohohohohorry! But this North American Toyota Cressida promo (or should I call it a soap-opera) is sooooo cheesy!
Enjoy part one:
And enjoy part two:
Now, my wife would probably divorce me if I wake up like that guy Allen! He really woke up like he had some sort of wet-dream and mumbled a lot of stuff about Cressida! ;)
