Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Thanks to GRED for the excellent tip on Team Zlay as the owner of this Mello Yello Carina GT-R AA63!
I’ve been browsing through their timeline and boy did I see some awesome pictures in there! I’ll post some excellent material on bosozokustyle.com later this week!
So enjoy this gallery with all pictures I could find of the Yello Mello:
Another interesting video by IKnowSkyline is this video of the Nissan R382 preparing for the 1969 Japanese Grand Prix:

Yesterday Jalopnik posted that two people deferred British advertisement for the Toyota GT86 (aka the Toyota 86 or Scion FR-S) because it contained wild driving. What? Just two people complaining can stop an advertisment being broadcasted?
