OLD TIN: Japan Classic Car Association’s New Year Meeting, Part II
January 27, 2009 12:30 am
Get on with it then.
Here’s a Kenmeri GT-R.
Stupid damn lensflare.
Another Kenmeri.
As you may have noticed, not all the cars there were Japanese.
These pics speak for themselves.
I bet you didn’t know Andy Warhol was alive, living in Japan, and driving a Lotus Europa.
Corolla on MKIIs.
Two-door Bluebird on four-spoke American Racing Libre wheels.
Corolla on Wats.
Celica RA28 GT, also on Wats.
Corolla GT on…as you can see, Watanabes are popular wheels.
There was quite a bit of unofficial action going on in the streets and public parking areas around the Odaiba parking area. These Cadillac and Impala lowriders were bouncing their way up and down the street while I was taking photos of cars as they were leaving the Odaiba event, and decided to take a break right when I had a chance to shoot them.
This was a club for Tekkamen Skylines that collected in a nearby parking lot.
Panasports work well on this shape.
Seibu Keisatsu?
We heart Skyline.
Right behind the Skylines was this collection of Celicas.
Take your pick; clean and fresh….
…or battle-scarred.
I promise to get there a bit earlier next time.

That beaten up Celica XX looks a bit familiar. 😉
Love the Toyotas especially all of those Celicas!!! Battle scared edges out the clean look barely..lol!
I think dressing period correct to your car at meets and shows should be mandatory. I’ll be in my freshest 80s rags from now on for sure. This blog is awesome, been checking it daily for the past few. Keep it up!
You should so make a couple of wallpapers for these man! Gotta have one of the KP’s and the lens flare lol that is a great shot with or without the lens flare.
“Panasports work well on this shape.”
oh yes they do. 🙂
the “2000” licence plate on that second kenmeri is a nice touch ;D
you managed to cover heap in ten minutes say i rekon youll only need 15 next time 😛
those celicas look mint as too
We have a friend up here in gunma (student) who has an old Celica/Supra like that. It has a 2.2 litre NA stroker 1G GE!!!
That corolla is f**king sick.
Very Very cool!!! love the old dr 30’s! so tuff…
Love that last Celica and the green Corolla 🙂
bro this is great. thanks for the metal faces I get such a boner over these.
The wheels on that 2-door Bluebird Sedan are Libre’s, the same as used on the US BRE 510’s.
The 4-spokes RS-Watanabe’s have a much more rounded edge and an extra lip on each spoke.
Corrected, thanks.
Best coverage of this event I’ve seen. Thanks!
Oh, and I forgot to say last-night, awesome pictures man. I thoroughly enjoyed checking them all out. Thanks for sharing!
Wow… thank you man. I love you! You make me so happy with this coverage!
Mate, I love the Europa. If you get any more pics of the ‘Andy Warhol’ one, I’d love to see them!
Europas slammed hard on wide rims are awesome!
Cheers for the coverage, we don’t see this class of modification of Europas in England 🙁
all these old school cars are sick, great pics ^_^
