Remembering Japanese cars from the past
This is about the coolest wheel pic I’ve seen this month:
Glow in the dark rims!
The only problem is that you need to shine some light on it first… So, where can I get some of that paint to accentuate my 15 inch Celica XX rims?

Spotted this picture on Ekhatch’s weblog yesterday:
Enkei Paramount wheels?
Now that is certainly a Wheel of Fortune set of rims!
I can already picture Vanna White flipping the letters on the license-plate of the car these wheels are mounted on. ;)
I came across this image somewhere on images.google.com and really liked it. Nothing special or fancy about the picture, but I really liked to see all generations (and SSS models) in one single picture:
All generations of the Nissan Bluebird
I have no idea why the seventh generation is actually on top… Maybe the personal preference of the person who created the picture?
Now, maybe I should try to create one with all zokusha Bluebirds? :P

This week Japanese Nostalgic Car did not have a Seibu Keisatsu like video: they had the Tokyo Matter by pixar I posted last week. So I started to watch some myself on Youtube. I did find a great related video of a police chase. The “bad” guys are being chased in their brand new Mazda Savanna RX7 by a gigantic police force of outdated J-tin and by the chief detective in his Mazda Cosmo AP RX5.
In the start of the video the chase is quite spectacular, but after the chief detective made his Cosmo AP into a convertible and still continues the chase it really starts to get rediculous! At the end he bashes his Cosmo into some boxes after going head to head with the Savanna RX7 and even before he hits the boxes his car is already on fire.
Anyone familiar with this series? I want to see more! :D
Yesterday Hashiriya Exports posted a video on Mt Hakone and commented that Mount Hakone is well known as being Mount Akina in Initial D. I thought this statement was wrong and looked it up since I did find some footage of drifting on Mount Hakone some time ago and also remembered Mount Haruna being Mount Akina… I feel a bit like an otaku correcting someone living in Japan when I never visited Japan myself!
Well, apparently I was not really thinking well and I accidentally entered Mount Akine as search phrase on Google maps and I was amazed I actually got a result and even could get directions from Hakone to Mount Akina:
So which Initial D freak working at Google Maps did enter Mount Akina as synonym for Mount Haruna?? :D
