TOKYO AUTO SALON 2010: Day 1

By in 15-01-2010 11:47 pm

So, today was the first day of the 2010 Tokyo Autosalon. Like last year, I wasn’t there to cover it in the traditional photojournalist day. I was helping out the guys from Auto Salon Magazine (this causes some confusion here sometimes) with translation and things like that.

I still took my camera along though. It was only the little P6000, but it did the job.

Here’s some things at the show I thought were cool.

A SUPER NIGHT WAS HAD BY ALL: Super Night Meeting, June 2009

By in 16-06-2009 11:29 pm

Last weekend, I drove up to Ebisu Circuit to watch the D1 Street Legal round that was held on the Minami Course, the same as is used in D1.

Unfortunately, you won’t be seeing any photos of that here! I decided to spend the day as a regular-old spectator instead, something I’ve never done before at a D1 event.

I have to say, it’s a lot more fun than peering through a camera all day, and lugging around a heavy backpack full of equipment.

What I did take some photos of was the Super Night Meeting held the night before. This is a car show put on by Ebisu Circuit in the Minami pits, that centers around the cruising-type of modified cars, such as this slammed Suzuki Wagon R.

Of course, since it was at Ebisu, there was a just a little bit of drifting as well!

TIME MACHINE FESTIVAL 2009: The Japanese contingent

By in 10-06-2009 12:30 am

A couple of days ago, some rotary freaks from Belgium sent me an email asking for information about this Mazda Famila, with a photo taken by Ben from Japanese Nostalgic Car attached to it.

“Didn’t I already post a few pics of that car already?” I thought.

Sure enough, I’d posted about the Euro and American cars at the 2009 Time Machine Festival, and I’d definitely posted about the Fairladys that were there, as well as a put up a panorama photo of the meeting, but I’d completely forgotten to upload the rest of the photos I took!

So, here they are!
