Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Ah, those fond memories of picking grapes and pears 33 years ago when we were still driving that Toyota Sprinter TE37 hardtop coupe…
That’s what this guy had when he saw this photo of the Sprinter together with cousin Sue.
So he returned back to the farm located at Kagaya in Akita 33 years later: Continue reading
Normally fishermen pose with their catch next to the boat they used to catch it, so would these two guys have used their Toyota Mark II GSL for that purpose?
No I don’t think so: they must have caught their fish on a pier or something and then posed in front the rear-end of the Mark II. Definitely worth sticking this photo into the family album. ;)
Took me a while to figure out what model it is, but apparently it is a Mark II GSL hardtop coupe RX22 with the double carbed R18-B. It is a very beautiful car and probably impossible to find outside Japan. Also note the fifth generation Corona T100 and first generation Celica in the background!

Everything is right in this photo: not only does the Mitsubishi Galant GTO have a set of (fender) flares but also its owner has its share in that!
The GTO is standing on some typically late 70s kyusha shoes: a pair of deep dished Hayashi Streets and the same goes for its owner again. Now if only the GTO was smoking as well it would have been a perfect family album photo!

Personally I think this kid has the coolest daddy of them all: his dad owns a Toyota 2000GT!
Well, actually that has not been confirmed since it doesn’t state who’s 2000GT it is…
But even though the 2000GT may not be yours you obviously want to keep this picture in the family album! ;)

Back in the early 00s when I tried to convince my friend Mux to buy a hachi my idea was to buy the same one as he did. This photo reminds me a bit of that era:
Two friends buying the same car, modifying it in the exact same way.
For Mux and me it worked out a bit differently: he bought a zenki Levin in metalic blue (colorcode 8A9) and I bought a zenki Trueno in silver grey.

What would be the chance of seeing this Skyline DR30 and Levin AE86 combination in a random parkinglot outside Japan? Nowadays it is not a big problem when you’re attending a Japanese car oriented parkinglot meeting, but what about the chance if it were 17 years ago as well?
Well in Japan the odds are a lot better and I don’t even think the owner of this DR30 would actually have noticed the little Levin AE86 at all!
