Remember the Tortoise and the hare shirt? Just found an even cooler shirt for my son:
The panda Sprinter Trueno AE86 is Super Deformed and features some big fat rims/tires.
This is how it looks when your kid wears it: Continue reading

Just found another clip of the Carina TA63 drifter I features a few weeks back!
Probably from the same Drift Showdown video but this time it also mentions the event and location: Nikko best 20 finalist at (obviously) Nikko circuit.
You can see it in actions a couple of times and at 2:34 the driver and car are highlighted: (video on the next page!) Continue reading
Spotted this auction of a full set of Carina van TA67 round headlights yesterday on Auctions Yahoo:
Not only does it include the round headlights and its surroundings, but it also includes the grille. The headlights have been converted with clear lenses and are able to carry H4 (type 4) bulbs or an HID replacement! Ideal to transfer your Carina van (or normal Carina) into a Firevan replica!
This is how it looks on the seller’s Carina: Continue reading
Happy New Year! I hope your new year was just as good as mine!
In the Netherlands we are allowed to fire off our own fireworks and unfortunately we do have idiots showing off like this guy in my home town:
He was able to blow out almost all windows of the hotel next to the explosion and injure four persons in one go. Obviously this made the Dutch national news yesterday. Sad but true…
So to cheer you up I’ll do a crosspost of the 2012 kaido racer Sunrise Run with Bosozoku Style: (videos on the next page!) Continue reading
Just had a quick recap on 2011 and here are some of the highlights:
Move to WordPress
The decision to ditch Drupal in favor of WordPress took me almost a year, while the switch itself was only a matter of converting the content to the new format. I must say that WordPress is a lot easier to post with, but Drupal was more flexible in just creating any content.
Meetings
I went to a couple of meetings, made some pictures and met some people around…
April: Drift&Charity event @ Infineon Raceway (US)
May: JAF2011 (Japans Auto Festival) @ Zandvoort (NL)
July: JCS2011 (Japanese Classic Sunday) @ Gemert (NL)
November: Wangan Warriors 10 @ Oosterhout (NL)
The event at Infineon Raceway was just mind blowing, especially because it was such a unique chance going there. I enjoyed JAF, JCS and Wangan Warriors meeting more because I meet some of you guys at those meeting and had a good opportunity to make pictures.
Holiday
Apart from a couple of meetings I also went to Bali and Irian Jaya / Jayapura where I saw what the difference in climate actually means: higher rate of survival. ;)

3. Carina Sightings: Carina Firevan at Hellaflush FISCO
As you can see AE86 content is still immensely popular and I’m quite happy a Carina (the Firevan) made it to the top 3 as well!

Thank you all for visiting this year and hopefully I’ll see you again sometime next year!
Such a shame: driving through dense traffic near the Yaesu line in Tokyo and giving priority to this old Toyota Century when it suddenly makes a wrong move!
The driver receives a well earned baka from the driver in the video after the jump.
