Alright, here's a build that may lack speed, but more than makes up for it with charm. David as big fan of the Speedhunters and is living a bit of the dream life, restoring vintage cars in at his home in Nagoya, Japan. David's stable includes several different JDM classics, and the latest addition is this 1967 Mitsubishi Minica 360 micro wagon
I thought it'd be cool to follow up yesterday's Opel Kadett feature with a photo of the Kadett's JDM counterpart, the Isuzu Gemini. I spotted this car in the parking lot at Tsukuba Circuit last year and had to snap a photo. This also reminds me that I need to dig up some more non-mainstream JDM machines to post up this month... -Mike Garrett
For my next post from the Idlers Games at Tsukuba Circuit, I thought I'd take a break from the on-course action and share some of the images I shot while exploring the paddock. With all of the cars on hand, one could easily spend the whole day wandering about, taking in the fantastic machinery up close. As you can tell by the previous posts, the
I still haven't even had a chance to sort through all the pictures I took at the Idlers Games at Tsukuba on Sunday. Unfortunatley for my hardworking little laptop, I managed to come home with nearly 2000 photos from the event. Perhaps I got a bit trigger happy with the camera as I was overwhelmed with awesome cars and great driving? Anyways, lets
For the first part of the Mooneyes Nationals coverage I selected some American Iron that really stood out for me. Starting with the 1966 Dodge Charger above. It was the first time I have seen one up close and was impressed by that one-piece grille. Not sure how much weight the flip-around headlights add to this muscle car, but who cares when it looks
What a day today turned out to be. I got to Odaiba nice an early, not really knowing what to expect, as it was my first time covering a custom car show like the Mooneyes Street Car Nationals. The "Car Show & Swap Meet," as it was described on the Mooneyes flyer, was held at the Aomi parking area, same place where the D1-GP Exhibition will
As promised, here's some more photos from my visit last month to the small museum at the HKS factory in Japan. As I was reading through the comments section of the previous post, I noticed a lot of you guys wanted to see the HKS Mercedes Benz CLK JGTC car from 2002. Of course I didn't forget about this awesome piece of machinery from what many
Do you ever find yourself wondering what happens to a company's race cars and tuner cars after their services are no longer needed? Sometimes they will wind up in the hands of private buyers (often overseas), in other cases they will be destroyed or dismantled, and every once in a while they'll be preserved or displayed as part of the company's
And now for some more Toyota-themed material from my photo archive. This time let's take a look at Toyotas from the late 1950s through the mid '70s - a period which saw Toyota lift itself out of Japan's tough post war period and begin down the path to global domination. From the car geek's perspective, there are some fine Toyota machines
That's a pretty cool line up of cars isn't it? I suppose the fact that this was taken not in the show itself but in the parking lot next door shows just what kind of event the JCCA New Year Meeting is. Not to take anything from the actual show, but you could spend just as much time checking out the cars in the lots. A lot of people know this
