05.Jan.2012 ITAISHA FIT

I saw this in Nagano yesterday and had to take a few snaps, as did the family who walked past after and 2-3 other people after that hahaha Ummm nice towel….

06.Apr.2011 HERB DELIVERY

You can’t really see in the pic just how beastly this truck was, but it was rocking a lift kit, mammoth tyres,  roll cages and a widebody kit. I seriously don’t know how he’d get around some of the tiny local streets, it was bad enough in my old Nissan Cedric!

03.Dec.2010 TYPE ARRRGH

I saw this stock FD2 Civic Type R sedan outside a temple the other day. They’re fairly common here in Japan, and even standard they’re quite nice. I wish we got these in Australia rather than the Euro CTR hatch.

13.Nov.2010 SUNNY!

I drive past this Nissan Sunny Truck Long most days on my way to work. This is a pachinko parlour carpark, so I hope he works there and isn’t a customer!

11.Nov.2010 BOSO’ BIKE

These were taken when I still had my cedric so they must be about a year old now. I was stuck behind this kei-truck lugging a bosozoku bike while on my way back home through Fuji-yoshida. The trees in the first pic are the infamous Aokigahara “suicide forest”. Seeing these things on the net is [...]

09.Nov.2010 WHITEWALLS!

I saw this lil gem outside Kofu station today. It would have looked nice if the whitewalls were done better. It looked like they were brushed on with a horses tail. Looking at the pic now it doesn’t look so bad, but it was “good from far but far from good”

10.Oct.2010 NICE CAR

I saw this quad bike outsite a Lawson conbini (convenience store) in Minobu, Yamanashi. Yep, that’s a number plate on the back!!  These babies are STREET LEGAL in Japan. After spotting a few of these on the road and noticing that none of the riders were wearing helmets I asked around and found out that [...]

25.Sep.2010 NSEXXY!!

I found this NSX parked along route 20 in Hokuto, Yamanashi.

20.Sep.2010 R35 IN HAKONE

I was in Hakone over the long weekend here in Japan and  I must have spotted 6-7 R35 GTRs in the wild. This one was was the only one I got a photo of and was in a small parking lot not far from the station and cable cars etc. Judging from some of pics I saw [...]

16.Sep.2010 SUZUKI FRONTE

I saw one of these in traffic the other day and have been wondering what it was. Well out of coincidence I just found this photo while blog hopping. I can’t remember what blog it was as i closed the tabs by accident so if it’s you I stole this pic from I’m sorry lol [...]
