More information and a bunch of videos can be found here. Nothing quite like watching a field of done-up old classics duking it out.

Event: RR invitational trackday
August 10, 2010
This guy clearly needs a haircut.
Once again Taupo put on some magnificent weather for the RR invitational trackday this past Saturday… (cue Tui ad). OS regulars Philip Weston LMVD, Tomstament and myself were fortunate enough to attend, with Phil the only one willing to brave the elements and partake in a full day of unintentional D1s around the extremely wet track (resulting in Lard developing a BHG later that afternoon… bugger!). One of my mate’s mates even showed up in an Alfa 75 TS which he proceeded to give absolute death, resulting in the diff eventually welding itself together.
Events; Opel Club Meeting, Sweden
July 28, 2010
Browsing of the oldschool.co.nz forums has once more netted some amazing photos of vehicles, this time around it’s from Swedish member “Hot Rod Nisse”. I’ll let the pictures do the talking as they’re beyond description.
Opel "Rat"
Probably my favourite of all the cars shown in the photos is this early 4th Generation Opel Kapitän. Beautiful. I would go so far as to say I would even take one over a 1949 Mercury Eight. Which for me, is a pretty huge thing as the Mercury Eight is one of my most adored cars of all time.

Events; Japan Classic Sunday – Nederlands
July 21, 2010
The morning browse on the Japanese Nostalgic Car forums lead to an interesting find. This event was held in the Nederlands recently and the turnout and variation of the cars involved was nothing short of impressive. Check it out;
Suzuki Fronte 360 (LC10)
Subaru Coupe on Slot Mags
Events; JCCS 2010
July 13, 2010
Whilst doing my little morning browse, I stumbled across this entry over at the JNC blog; JCCA Classic Car Festival at Tsukuba what greeted me in the entry was definitely of interest but it wasn’t until browsing the thread on the forum itself that my eyes really began to open. I’ve seen coverage of this event numerous times over the years, usually from the JCCA website itself so it was interesting to see it from a Westerner’s perspective, or more specifically, an Australian’s. Kev (owner of a KGC10 GT-R Look, of grandJDM and now JNC fame) kindly photo-documented the journey for JNC readers, brilliantly too. So rather than take away from him, I suggest you read the entries and sites I’ve linked to here and I’ll just throw in a few of my favourite shots to further convince you to do so.
