As you are reading this I'll likely be making my way up to Monterey for the weekend's American LeMans race at Laguna Seca. In the meantime - here's some more JCCS photos to enjoy! Up above we can see a few of the Hakosuka Skylines at the event, including a two-door wearing US military tags from Okinawa (evidenced by the "Y" on
Alright let's jump right into more coverage from the the Fifth Annual Japanese Classic Car Show in Irvine. Up above, you can catch a glimpse of a small sampling of the Datsun 510's that made it out. Whether you are into period correct restos, or more contemporary tuning, there were enough "five and dimes" at JCCS to to fit any taste
Before 2005, there wasn't much of "Japanese classic car scene" in the United States. Sure there were Datsun and Toyota owners groups, plus the few vintage cars that showed up to events like HIN or the Nisei Showoff, but there wasn't a gathering point for fans of classic Japanese machines. It wasn't until the folks at Katy's
The fifth annual Japanese Classic Car Show is now in the books, and what a show it was. I thought I'd throw up a few teaser shots to hold you guys over until I can organize all my photos from today's show (there are a lot of them this time!). Beautiful weather, tons of down to earth enthusiasts, and a fantastic selection of vintage Japanese
We've covered the hidden gem that is the Caribbean motorsports scene a couple times here on Speedhunters, and each time we're even more impressed with the crazy machines people are running down there. This latest batch of photos was shot by Jason Joaquin at the second round of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship held on August 30th at Bushy
I guess I'm one of those people that's easily influenced when it comes to cars. When I'm shooting a drift event I'll think about how nice it would be to build a cool a 180SX or Soarer, and when I'm at the circuit I dream of a properly done Honda S2000. Nothing though, is more influential than spending a day shooting classic Japanese
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
After just a few years, the annual Japanese Classic Car Show has become a Southern California tradition and the premiere classic Japanese auto event in the United States. In case you haven't heard, the '08 edition of the event will be held this Sunday October 12 at Hidden Valley Park in Irvine. Since I have lived in Japan I have had the chance
For our second post on the Langley Cruise, I thought I'd focus on 'Imports'. I was surprised at the selection at the show. I assumed it would be an all American show, but the show had a very eclectic mix. As you can see from theses images, European and Japanese cars such as the Datsun 510 and Fiat 500. I regret selling mine when I immigrated
There a few things better than spending a weekend hanging out with fellow enthusiasts, talking about cars, and just enjoying the hobby in general. This is exactly what happened last weekend at the meet that was hosted by our friends at Retro Scene Magazine in the UK. The UK has a thriving classic car scene, and I must say that it looks quite different
