Once we agreed that we'd dedicate February to Toyota, I started thinking about all the cool AE86 material I'd be able to post up this month. I may not be as big of a Hachi Roku maniac as Antonio (is anybody?), but I've had the pleasure of owning and modifying one, and I can say for sure that it's one of my favorite cars. One of the things
I was just going through some more photos from last weekend's MSC event at Nikko Circuit and realized I have some more cool stuff to post. I can't say enough how fun MSC events are to shoot.

A few years ago, Tsukuba was the site of the D1GP final round as well as famous drift events like the BM Hai and Advan Drift Meeting
Magazines are REALLY heavy. When you are just holding one you don't really notice the weight, but 10 or 20 of them together make for some "serious mass". I learned this the hard way when trying to fill a suitcase with car magazines bought at a secondhand book store in Japan. Of these magazines, my personal favorite was a magazine called

Thanks to photographer Matthew Mead, we have these fantastic shots from last Sunday's Initial Drift event at Oran Park North in Australia.
