Definitely a favourite at Hellaflush Kansai, have a killer weekend everyone x

Being in Japan for just under 2 months I saw and came across a huge number of events and cars. The Hellaflush meet in the Hyogo Prefecture, Central Circuit to be exact pulled together some of the most gorgeous cars from the Kansai region, one being this C10 Hakosuka. With the event completely packed cars were forced to park elsewhere. The large parking lot directly across the road from the circuit also filled up in no time, again with a huge number and variety of cars, just like this classic beauty x

Arriving at Hellaflush Kansai bright and early was totally worth it. Watching all the cars roll into the staging area gave us the perfect opportunity to get some non-cliche photos of the cars that attended the event. This Aristo really caught my attention sitting pretty in the queue x

One of the nicest fellows I’ve met this trip – Ryogo-San, the owner of this 326 kitted Kouki S14 from team DLK. To be honest I didn’t think this trip would allow me to see the 326 cars in real life, however, once again I was caught off guard and saw a handful of them at Hellaflush Kansai. I wouldn’t call this a tease I would more-so call it an insight to a preview of what is to come over the next few months. I will be back in Australia within the next few weeks and definitely have some new thoughts and ideas for the site. I hope you guys are enjoying my updates here from Japan. Casey x

This past weekend was a blast. On Friday afternoon I managed to lug myself and my baggage from Shinsaibashi down south to Kakogawa and then out west to Nishiwaki which is the station closest to Central Circuit where Hellaflush was being held on Saturday. It was great to meet up with Dino and Luke on Friday evening and then shooting all day at Hellaflush on Saturday. I met and caught up with so many great people the vibes were sensational which is precisely what Mark is all about with his events. After a full day of shooting in the harsh sun we began our trip back to Tokyo with some US fellows – Curtis and Charles from the base, Rod from AUTOnGRAPHIC, Colin from DOHCresearch and Park from Hightopfade. Also, a few Japanese fellows – Shota-San, Muko-San, Nakamaru-San and Kato-San. With next to no sleep Park and I woke up this morning and headed to Odaiba for the Nostalgic car meet only to find the event itself wasn’t very interesting, however it is a known fact here in Japan that the parking lots bring out the best of the best and today that fact was on point. Here is a shot after all these amazing cars left the Odaiba PA squatting on the road. I am now back up in Tokyo living with Park for the next few weeks before jetting back to Australia. We have some amazing events lined up so keep your eyes peeled! Casey x
