welcome to the 2024 Osaka Auto Messe. Kansai’s smaller however more refined and intimate version of Tokyo Auto Salon in which we covered early last month.

this event has been running for 27 years, since 1997 to the west side of osaka at the intex location. attending most of the previous years since 2020 i can personally feel the event growing whether it’s the vendors, booths & companies inside or the extremely large number of japanese and foreign customers entering through the doors spectating some of japan’s finest brands & cars over the course of a 3 day period. an event i highly encourage all car enthusiasts to come to especially if you’re in japan visiting, you will not be disappointed.

below is through my eyes over the course of a day at the event. as always, enjoyy x

despite the extreme amount of people here conducting taking photos of cars extremely hard this was my perspective from this years 2023 tokyo auto salon held in makuhari messe, tokyo, japan. enjoy x

After 30+ hours of driving, trains and walking I’m finally back in Tokyo after another 2 unforgettable days spent down south in Hiroshima for the Bad Stance Meet held buy Bad Quality x Review. The day prior to the meet Nakagawa-san and Idekawa-san took us to some of their friends workshops around their home town x

Too many memories, thoughts and words jump into my head when I stare at this picture. Sessions x Y32 Cima x

After spending a clear and warm Spring day at Meihan with Joel and Jesse we decided to stop a couple of times on the back into Osaka. After checking out Up Garage Joel and myself spotted GOING AUTOMOTIVE whilst sitting in traffic. Reversing at a set of traffic lights, dodging traffic in a noisy, body scraping R32 seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary so we parked up and checked out the classy cars they had for sale. This JZS161 was by far the coolest in the lot. Plenty more photos will be posted soon x

With Japans population oozing over 127,000,000 mark sometimes traffic becomes extremely bad, especially during Golden Week. This was our second day on our 2012 trip, 20 or so hours in, still no sleep. The Annual Mooneyes event was on in Odaiba, Tokyo Bay. Being only 20 or so kilometres from central Tokyo we thought it’d be a good idea to drive out seeming as it was such a nice Spring day. Just under 3 hours later we finally made it in Odaiba, without a park however. Traffic can be frustrating in Japan but not so much when you have gorgeous cars like this BMW to keep your mind at ease x

Wild weekend nights in Nagoya x
