Toyota Crown, Tidy as a tidy thing.

Toyota Crown, Tidy as a tidy thing.

I apologise for the horrendous picture quality, it was taken on my phone and I thought that it was on a better resolution, sadly, it was  not and this is what I ended up with.  Despite how it might look.. all pixelated..  it’s not like that in real life and is infact the second tidiest Toyota of that size and era that I see kicking about down here.  It’s parked in the disabled spot and driven by an old man.  Brilliant.

Last month Michael made a brief mention of his catalogues arriving from zeppan.jp; now it’s my turn :D

seeing as this would be the last time I’d ever get a chance to order a batch of items from Takeshi, I decided to splash out… exchange rate be damned!

car kitsch for Africa!

Check this out, was wandering about the wonder that is JNC today and stumbled across this;

Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R

Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R

Evidently just imported from Japan to the US of A and of genuine nature and not the clone one might believe it to be.  Rather than dribble on about it like a schoolboy.  I’ll let you read the thread on JNC, here;

OK, so it’s not feature week anymore but the Nationals are well enough in the past that the majority if not entirity of all videos taken have been processed and posted, so what I figured I would do is put them all in one place, using the embed YouTube feature so that they’re essentially thumb-nailed and easier to find whatever one it might be that you’re looking for.  Unfortunately, the fantastic video compilation from ‘Thousand Dollar Supercar’ is not on YouTube, but rather on Google Video/Picasa/Something else.  So I’ll just have to link to that one.

Coverage from ‘thegreatestben‘ showing X100 Chaser, Z30 Soarer, S13 SX, AE86 Corolla, Z10 Soarer, KE20 Corolla, MX5, KB110 Sunny, RA23 Celica & KP61 Starlet.

I wasn’t going to share this until I had found out more about it, but funds are extremely tight at the moment and as such I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to do any investigating in the near or even not so near future.  Thanks to a lovely man named Eddie.  I received a PM via a UK based forum, http://www.oldjapanesecar.com/ which showed me a picture.  A picture that made me almost choke and die.  I made inquiries with Ed as to the relative date of said picture and was informed that it was a few months old at the most.  So…  “What is this wonderful picture?” I hear you ask.
