I was visiting a friend this weekend just been whose birthday it is today (Happy Birthday, Adrian ) irrelevant to mention, I know.  Anyway.  He informed me that he’d spotted a car returning to the earth but had no camera on him at the time to take a photo so he gave me the directions [...]

Thanks go out to Ewan (www.hayatonka.com) for many, many things.  This time though it’s for taking a good whack of photos whilst he’s out and about at various events or otherwise.  In this instance he took the recently acquired KHR31 GTS-X that he attained on behalf of Shaun (Mettler) after this atrocity to the Nagoya [...]

HAH!  Tricked you.  It’s a photoshop of a Honda Accord Aerodeck with some Toyota bits and a Paintjob (or rather, the other way around evidently).  Still, it looks super sweet but the Aerodeck did anyway.  Nice fusion though. Big ups to the shopper. I found the pictures on oldschool.co.nz, posted by NZDMAE86.  It appears as [...]

After viewing the three parts of coverage that SpeedHunters.com had of the Japanese MoonEyes Street Car Nationals (Part I, Part II, Part III) one particular car stuck in my head. Props to the builder of this fine piece of machinery; -Michael

By the time you read this article, the auction in question will have expired (either with or without a buyer). Phillip Weston RMVT or one of the Mitsi aficionados can correct me if I’m wrong – but as far as I know, facelift narrowbody GSR-Vs (post-1985) with the 2.0 Sirius DASH engine are a rare [...]
