Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Sad but true: I’m already at part thirty-one of this series! :(
This time I have a video from the land down under where the Datsun are so unloved that they are rusting away somewhere in a junkyard. The video has the suitable title Where Datsuns go to die.
I counted two 240K coupes, two 240K sedans and a bunch of other interesting Datsuns like a Cedric 220 and 330! What a terrible shame!

I spotted this Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI in the parkinglot of a biological apple orchard. I already thought before going there me and my not so environmentally friendly 29 year old Carina were a bit out of place (especially after driving 40 kilometers to the orchard), but the Lancer was definitely more out of place here!
Still wonder how weird sight it must have been: the owner loading up a few kilos of biological and environmentally friendly apples in his EVO VI. XD
Taken at the same exhibition as the Family Album Treasure I posted up yesterday: the Machine RS-2 from up close!

A true family album treasure!
Found at Western Police ER34
What is even more impressive than the Motorfix 1UZ (with ITBs) powered UZE70 Corolla? A supercharged 1UZ Celica XX GA61 (aka the Celica Supra mk.2) with its supercharger sticking out of the bonnet in Mad Max style!

The Carina Firevan footage I found earlier was shot at the Hellaflush meeting at FISCO organized by Fatlace! @Fatlace: you guys did a great job!
Anyway, I did find some photos of the meeting at both Nori Yaro and Speedhunters and thought it would be nice to share them with you. I especially like the one shot by Alexi from Nori Yaro:
The mise en scene has something omnious…
But the photo by Dino Dalle Carbonare of Speedhunters is a very nice one as well: Continue reading
