Now this is hilarious: Toyota USA picked up the Knight Rider concept and transformed KITT into a third generation Toyota HiLux Pickup! It even includes a Thanks old buddy! exclamation!

TwinTurboRS posted his 100th video and it is a very very very long street drift video (47 minutes!) from a long long long time ago on Youtube in the Funabashi near the pear area (Chiba prefecture) featuring many AE86s, RX7 FCs, Skyline R30s and even a Carina TA63 @8:45:

Even in the intro you can even see a 8 spoke RS Watanabe in a pile of discarded wheels! Madness! Enjoy 47 minutes of madness!

For my other blog Bosozoku Style I regularly visit various bosozoku style related sites. On AllJapanExpress I came across this pink shakotan Carina AA63:
Pink shakotan Carina AA63
Nicely lowered, overfenders and SSR Mk I rims at the rear. Just a few mods away from becoming a kaido racer! :)
I’m not sure what is worse on this Carina, the color or the bodywork:

Somehow I’m relieved this car did not have huge spoilers, oil coolers and a bamboo spears exhaust, but on the other hand it would have been fun to see such a thing. ;)
Never ever thought I would be posting about an Opel Calibra, but these two are actually very nice ones! They are JDM Opel Calibras and styled after the DTM example:
Reverse fetish: JDM Opel Calibra
Both have big overfenders, GT wings, Skyline GT-R special or BBS Competition wheels and such. Of course it looks nowhere near the DTM versions, but nevertheless very nice to see what Japanese can do with Euro spec cars.
Perhaps it is the same thing as we are trying to do when we mimic our own JDM styles. (´?`* ))?

I was cleaning up some old previous phonecam pictures and came across this Mitsubishi 3000GT I shot somewhere in September last year. It was patiently waiting at one of the railway crossings near my work:
Down on the street: Mitsubishi 3000GT
I could only shoot the picture from behind this van since it was blocking my way (I was biking)
When the railway crossing opened up I was able to follow it and was able to make this action shot:
Down on the street: Mitsubishi 3000GT
Even for a crappy (Nokia) phonecam I was amazed by the outcome of this picture! ?(´???)
The Mitsubishi 3000GT only sold in very low numbers in the Netherlands and this must have been the second time I saw one ever. Oh those fond memories of running this car in the first Sega GT against its Skyline GT-R rivals! (?????)
In 1970 Mazda showed on the 17th Tokyo Motor Show one of the most extraordinary concept cars for its time: the RX-500. After 40 years this car is still as amazing as it was in 1970,

The only thing that bugs me is: what is it doing in the middle of a forest and why do the boy and girl in the background embrace each other? Are they afraid of the whole car? Is ti threatening them? What mastermind thought of such a bad publicity photo? ??(?????)??
