Remembering Japanese cars from the past
After my impulse buy I started to look for real yellow Carina GT-Rs. I did see them in the brochures, but as far as I can remember never saw any photos of them IRL.
I ended up finding this magnificent example in a family album treasure style photograph:
A Carina GT-R on a set of black SSR Longchamp XR4 rims. It was so beautiful I just had to share it

I have been searching on the interwebs since last sunday and patiently waiting for any photo of the best yearly meeting ever: Hachi Rock Festa!
The first photos arrived this morning when Chillin and Hachiroku posted up his trip to this meeting.
As you can see from the length of the line of AE86s he wasn’t the only one attending: Continue reading

I kind of prodded my imaginary passenger to take some pictures while driving behind it, hence the quality is not entirely as it should be…
After a few kilometers I had to say goodbye to it: Continue reading
What would be the chance of seeing this Skyline DR30 and Levin AE86 combination in a random parkinglot outside Japan? Nowadays it is not a big problem when you’re attending a Japanese car oriented parkinglot meeting, but what about the chance if it were 17 years ago as well?
Well in Japan the odds are a lot better and I don’t even think the owner of this DR30 would actually have noticed the little Levin AE86 at all!
