Remembering Japanese cars from the past
We had some family album photos with a Silvia S13 before and also had someone doing the peace sign, but this photo combines them both!
Be in peace with Silvia!
The Silvia is an early Q’s model produced in 1988 powered by the trusty twin cam CA18DE and a four speed automatic.
The owners wife is posing in front of the car in the late 80s and according to him they drove the car in their honeymoon. Now that’s a nice slide to put into your family album!

In 1983 the owner of this Skyline GC110 had a bit more taste in wheels than clothing.

White socks: the best addition to everyones 80s family album!
Nevertheless I still like his choice of cars. ;)

This little girl had the coolest dad in the 70s: he owned a pigsbutt Laurel C130 hardtop!
In the 70s daddy owned a pigsbutt
Also the periodically correct yellow foglights are very nice!

You’ve probably seen two or more photos used in this video before. The Fairlady Z S130 owner mixed his family album together with Hamada Syougo’s song Still 19 from his 1999 album J.Boy.
I also found a video clip of the song featuring J-drama queen Ishihara Satomi starring in Be-Bop High School:
I think I definitely need to find that J-drama now. ;)

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

One of the most famous parts of the old Fuji International Speedway was the 30 degree banking. Due to the track layout changes made in the middle of the construction the banking was actually the wrong way around. At the end of the straight cars would dive into a banked corner which suddenly ended. This resulted in one of the most dangerous corners ever made and had many casualties over its 19 years use.
When in 1986 the the Group 5 era ended and also the infamous banked corner was closed down on Fuji International Speedway, but never actually demolished. There is still a large piece left of the banking and apparently this Group 5 fan wished to say goodbye to the 30 degree bank:

I would certainly love to have such a picture in my family album! Whenever I visit Fuji International Speedway I’ll certainly make a similar picture! :)
