the custom car world of Kansai, Japan – Osaka Auto Messe 2023 – similar to Tokyo’s Auto Salon – Osaka has its own kind with a little twist of style and presentation. the last time this event was held was early 2020 right before the peak of COVID and the world closing. back again after 3 years it was very warming to see how many people were out and about attending the event. i made sure i was there at a decent time on saturday morning with my camera loaded to make effort to go through most of the halls and shoot.

this event is held at the port of Osaka near Nanko – Intex Osaka. This event has been running annually since 1997 so has plenty of returning and renowned car shops and business’ showcasing their cars and art every year. It’s estimated that well over 200,000+ people spectate this car show event over the course of the 3 days. If you’re into cars new and old just like the Tokyo Auto Salon i highly recommend visiting this show at least once in your lifetime.

below is my selection of photos from what i captured over the course of the weekend, enjoyyy x

One weekend Park and I decided to postpone a couple of events, meets for the ever so famous Idlers event at Tsukuba Circuit. Not only were there an uncountable amount of RWB Porsche’s but a serious variety of mind blowing cars around the paddock. Here, I spotted this perfect Fairlady Z about to queue up for his class. I have a fair few other photos of this car from the front and rear but thought I’d post this one first. Who wants to see this as a desktop? x
