WEEKEND EDITION: Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 Part II
January 11, 2009 12:30 amJZX100, Mark II, BN Sports, 19/20 stagger.
If you’re still wondering why I didn’t take a proper camera to Auto Salon, it’s because I was helping out Charles Kha and Mark Pakula from Australia’s Autosalon magazine (no relation to the Japanese show, but related to the Australian show), so it would be a conflict of interest if I posted a whole lot of high-resolution photos. Yep, I’m a sell-out, so buy Autosalon magazine when it comes out, because the photos and design are awesome.
There were a couple of Knight Rider replicas at the show.
Kumakubo’s new Evo X is about a million times better looking than his IX.
G Works magazine (formerly known as Auto Works) had a great range of classic Japanese metal on their stand.
Some more Rauh Welt Porsche.
Mark getting in the way.
This character is sort of a Japanese Barney the Dinosaur.
The Japanese word for “underboob” is “shitapai”, which literally translates to exactly the same words.

Melonbooks is a store that specialises in selling erotic manga and whatnot.

Mmm give that jug 😉
nice cars there, I so wanna go to TAS sometime.
Thanks for sharing. It’s always a pain to take pictures at TAS. Every time you lift the camera up someone gets in the way. I’ve always skipped it and just gone to Osaka as I found the crowds easier to stand. Love that Mark II and if I never see anime/manga on a car again it will be too soon.
shitapai has enhanced my language for life.
japan has an armpit fetish
Awesome pics! Keep them coming
so much porn on this page farout.
that mark II is bangin.
and lawl at ‘melon books’ hahah
I wish the Aussie Auto Salon was as crazy as TAS. Did you take any pictures of the NATS cars?
I luv me some underboob
I’m absolutely loving your blog, Alexi.
There must be something about Asahi being a bitch to pour. I always seem to get it with a massive head on it.
kumakubos evo X is pure drift porn as are all those old school cars at the g works stand
i would think that the car park at this event would be an awesome place to go scout for some nice cars
some awesome shots 🙂 thanks!
wow i thought asm had gone bust! look forward to seeing the mag 🙂
I sacrificed TAS for a day of snowboarding, which would have been an acceptable trade had the temperature not been minus 10 and the wind 60kph.
Polyestergun,
The Optimus Prime truck in the previous post was a NATS car.
下ぱい大好き! I love shitapai
