Carina Sightings: Carina crowd at NYM 2010


A few weeks back I already featured some pictures by Michinoku Grand at the HistoriX Japan meeting and during some browsing of his Photozou archives I came across a Carina crowd at the New Year Meeting 2010 in Odaiba:

Four Carina’s may not be that impressive, but given the age of the Carina A60 and the amount of cars at the meeting it is actually quite a lot! ;)

Michinoku Grand did like the black Carina van a lot:

And so do I!

Also note the rims on Carina sedan behind it: they look exactly like the Atiwe telephone rims on the European AE86 Haslback trim. They could very well be some licensed JDM manufactured rims of course. ;)

And another shot of that great looking Carina van! Why didn’t my dad paint his Carina van black in 1985? It sure does look better than gold! :P

Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10

Yes, it is indeed a painful (pun intended) sight to see a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 this way:

I don’t think it will get the title of the most expensive itasha ever since I’ve seen several Ferrari and Lamborghini covered completely with anime vinyls.

On the other hand Haruhi blends perfectly in with the blue periodically correct racing stripes:

So even though it may be painful it is also done with great taste! ;)
