The first course we checked out at the Spring Matsuri was of course, Nishi which is the West course. There were a bunch of cars going crazy as per usual. This A31 Cefiro was sitting low and pretty in the pit area and definitely sounded as tough as it looks. Heaps to come from Ebisu x

Ebisu back in 2010. This C33 and GX71 were definitely a few of my favourites from the Autumn Matsuri. Chris would agree on that too? The older generation of styling will never loose its groove! x

Two thumbs up, it’s Friday… Smile!

Building nothing but unbelievably well balanced cars, John Dollison from Ausoku rocked up with this midnight purple PS13 at the previous Autumn Matsuri.

2 weeks prior to the Autum Matsuri, the car was looking far from this, in fact it wasn’t even a rolling shell. The Kansai boys worked continuously day and night in preparing the car for 3 days of non-stop drifting I’m sure John got to know the car quite well during the 11 hour drive from Osaka to Nihonmatsu.

I remember working on some images one night at the Urban Hotel and hearing a couple of rumbling cars enter the street. Looking down from the 5th level onto a side street in Japan with this PS13 alongside Shane Bingham’s 180SX and Erin’s C33 was pretty surreal. Shortly after they parked up, a group of guys with a 100% standard AE86 parked at the local 7-11 sprinted over and were completely loosing it over the cars! I feel so privileged that I was able to not only shoot the car, but have access to the West course 西 回路 at Ebisu Circuit. It will definitely be a day to remember. I look forward to seeing it hit the mountain again in 3 months time for the Spring Matsuri!
