This R32 GT-R was owned by a fellow around the corner from me in Minami Machida. He also owned a sweet R34, but got rid of them both for a R35 at the beginning of 2010…
This choice number was in the same aparto carpark as yesterdays car.
Tomorrow we travel back in time…
Firstly, a Happy New Year to you and thanks for visiting.
I received my 2010 stats from WordPress today and I notice that this blog was boosted by a kaiju-like total of two posts last year. So I aim to at least double that this year.
In view of that, I have rather a few images from Japan to share and to begin the year, I declare this to be Skyline Week!!!!! Of Doom!!!!
Here is a sweet tuned R31 I found in an apartment building carpark up the road from Up Garage, Minami Machida.
R31 House! In the, ahh, carpark…
Tomorrow, I might just have to go GT-R. But which?
Hachi Roku’s are thick on the ground around here. Ive seen plenty of white/black Panda AE86’s on the streets, but being a bit slow on the uptake, have yet to photograph one…
Most here are pretty businesslike looking too, it’s pretty cool seeing a full caged Hachi Roku growling away in morning traffic at the Route 16 lights that Im waiting at quite frequently.
These were all captured at rest, because, as I say, Im a bit slow.
This was parked in a factory carpark up the road from Flyrat, which I will get on to in the next few days.
Apartment car park near Shelbys No.20.
I saw this one on my second day in Japan, in July, near the local supermarket. It was 42 degrees that day – 34 warmer than today…
Next to the Sakai Gawa cyclepath, near my place, as I was pootling along on my jitensha, enjoying weather that was far superior to now.
These two were also next to the Sakai Gawa cyclomichi, but about 12km north. I was enjoying my jitensha travels that day.
Up the hill and ’round the corner from mi casa. I didnt take a photo from the front because it had a rust hole in the bonnet. But Im feeling ruthless, so I might go back and do just that…
Here are some shots from Bee*R that I took the other day. Bee*R is just around the corner from where I live. So I stalk them pretty regularly. And they are very nice about it. So far.
Tsuyoshi Tezuka’s D1 Skylines. Yep.
Those crazy Skidboys…
The Bosses everyday Hachiroku notchback. It is definitely everyday – I see it here pretty much every time I go past.
Meanwhile, further up the road, past the corn…
…is M Sport, of race & rally fame.
I took this lurking about in a side street. Figured my life needed some glamour.
Further up the same road is Shelbys No.20, back near Bee*R is a Monster (Tajima) Motorsport workshop, then there is the scooter customizing place…
