C130 ローレル

September 21st, 2012

Weekends are non-stop in Japan. After Hellaflush all the way down in Nishiwaki (Hyogo Prefecture) we thought it would be a good idea to check out a classic car meet the next day all the way back up in Odaiba, Tokyo. To be honest it wasn’t very exciting and a little expensive to get in. Travelling by train out of central Tokyo on a hot day made us wonder around as we didn’t want to head back immediately. We checked out the car park, little did we know it was a thousand times better than the actual show. Here is a C130 Laurel we spotted amongst a bunch of other awe-inspiring cars. It has often been stated, that in Japan the car parks are usually an equal match for the shows when it comes to quality. Plenty more to come! x

岡山 ピーチボーイズ

September 5th, 2012

If you follow us on Instagram, you would have seen an upload last night of the Okayama Peach Boys in the queue for Hellaflush at Central Circuit back in May. I don’t think I’ve uploaded any photos of these guys yet on the site so here is one for now while I round up some others to add to the blog. I think I’m going to have a leave a few of these out for the 2013 calendar however plenty more will be added in the next few weeks! x

Weekend In Kansai

May 20th, 2012

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
