Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Or at least, that’s how this proud owner would have called his latest acquisition in the early 70s:
Otousan (father) is making sure the SGX badge of his Laurel C130 is just as clearly visible on the photo as his daughter. You could almost say the Laurel is part of the family!
Also okaasan (mother) makes sure her dress matches the Laurel’s tail lights: Continue reading
Car? Check!
Sea? Check!
Beach? Check!
Scenic rocks? Check!

Back in the early 80s when the Japanese Super Silhouette series were at its alltime high in popularity Kazuyoshi Hoshino drove his iconic Nissan Silvia S110 silhouette racer to many victories.
Kazuyoshi Hoshino was a smart man: apart from founding the Hoshino Racing he also founded the Hoshino Impul company which produced the Impul D-01 wheels as their first product. By mounting these wheels on his silhouette racer he had the best advertising possible and many of these wheels were sold to his (young) followers.
Also this guy fell for them and mounted them on his Nissan Gazelle S110, just like his hero Hoshino. Definitely a keepsake for the family album!

A real Family Album Treasure!
But browsing through the owners blog I started to see a pattern: Continue reading
Almost thirty years ago this guy bought a new Levin GTV AE86 and enjoyed it for a solid thirteen years!
Owning a hachi for such long period in time would definitely mean it has to be somewhere in the family album! I wonder if any Toyota GT86 owner would still own his/her GT86 in thirteen years time…
