Nagoya Classic Car Show

June 28, 2009

For your viewing pleasure, we present an album of photos from last week’s Nagoya Classic Car show, taken by Ewan @ hayatonka.com. I guess this is the sort of grass-roots “nostalgic JDM” gathering that a lot of us can only dream about attending in person!

anyway, here is another gallery of shots taken yesterday by my friend Gareth – I basically handed him my E-500 and told him to go off and take a few photos.
