Remembering Japanese cars from the past
What better way to familiarize your daughter with drifting than have her play with your AE86 from now and then:

Judging from the buildings and mountain in the background I guess this picture was taken at Ebisu North

One of the most famous parts of the old Fuji International Speedway was the 30 degree banking. Due to the track layout changes made in the middle of the construction the banking was actually the wrong way around. At the end of the straight cars would dive into a banked corner which suddenly ended. This resulted in one of the most dangerous corners ever made and had many casualties over its 19 years use.
When in 1986 the the Group 5 era ended and also the infamous banked corner was closed down on Fuji International Speedway, but never actually demolished. There is still a large piece left of the banking and apparently this Group 5 fan wished to say goodbye to the 30 degree bank:

I would certainly love to have such a picture in my family album! Whenever I visit Fuji International Speedway I’ll certainly make a similar picture! :)

Don’t be fooled by the 8 in the date: that most probably stands for the 8th year of the Heisei period.

Now this is a tough choice: shall I take this Carina wagon or Yamaha SRX for a spin?
Take the Yamaha SRX or Carina Wagon for a spin
Even though most sane people would say the Yamaha I would personally prefer the Carina wagon above it. ;)
Sidenotes: according to the source the round headlights were swapped for the quad square types. The rims are PG type Racingforg rims.
