Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Not only hard tuned cars were present on the Wangan Warriors meeting, but also a lot of oldskool cars from the 80s and early 90s.
I already posted the decals of this original Suzuki Swift GTi before, but here it is in full glory:
Also this original Skyline GT-R R32 can nowadays almost be considered as a classic: Continue reading
As said in the first impressions posting: it was misty…
To give you an impression, it was this misty:
On the positive side it could theoretically be beneficial for taking photos at a smaller diaphragm without losing the depth of field. Unfortunately mist also means there is less light, so I had great difficulty to go higher than 5.6 on one of my lenses…

First impressions are always worth most since they describe the Wangan Warriors meeting in one sentence. In this case I’d say my first impression would be that the meeting was mystifying! And yes, that is also a pun to the weather. ;)

For Mux and me it worked out a bit differently: he bought a zenki Levin in metalic blue (colorcode 8A9) and I bought a zenki Trueno in silver grey.
Found at Kosi Gaya Racing
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
