Maybe not as rare as the rusty Cosmo collection but this Skyline DR30 collection is equally rusty and extensive!
Skyline DR30 rustoseum collection
The Fairlady Z Z30 appears to be a bit out of place here…

Just by that: a Carina TA60 in my own hometown! :)
Toyota Carina GL TA60
When cycling to work I spotted the rear end of a Carina on a (closed) parking lot of an office building on the other side of the parking lot of the local fire department. I stopped and a fireman opened up the window asking if I was able to find whatever I was looking for.
So I explained I spotted exactly the same car as mine in the parking lot behind the fire department. He told me how to get there and I made a few snaps with the ancient phone I’m currently using (my own got stolen last week during a break-in). I also made one with my old analogue camera, but I’m still waiting for the black and white film developer chemicals so I can’t show it to you yet…
The Carina was registered in 1983 as a beige car. It looked quite solid to me, didn’t have too much rust (except on the steel rims) and believe it or not: it is, just like mine, an automatic as well. Only big difference is that this car is a GL, so it features a more comfortable interior. ;)
What better way to familiarize your daughter with drifting than have her play with your AE86 from now and then:

Judging from the buildings and mountain in the background I guess this picture was taken at Ebisu North

Now this was a big WTF?!: two shirtless men standing next to a Nissan Cherry X-1 coupe with a fiery background? What does it mean?
Shirtless Nissan Cherry X-1
Not really sure what the people from Nissan were targeting here… We obviously have seen the Ken&Mary targeting for the fourth generation Skyline and the Cherry X-1 was launched at the same time. Are the two shirtless men supposed to indicate the Cherry X-1 coupe is one tough cookie, is it supposed to attract future female buyers or should we interpret it differently?

Just a quick blog on news from Japan: Alexi from Nori Yaro is apparently alright an was able to blog about his experience.
Also Doriten was able to blog about it and also posted up some pretty bizarre pictures from Kiba:
Just imagine what it looks like in the Sendai prefecture! Let’s hope everyone is okay!
You can find more pictures on Doriten’s blog.
I really liked the video of this serious Skyline DR30 track car:
Perhaps it has to do with the color (blue instead of the obvious two tone red/black) but also that the owner is actually a grip driver and not a drifter…
