Remembering Japanese cars from the past
You’ve probably seen two or more photos used in this video before. The Fairlady Z S130 owner mixed his family album together with Hamada Syougo’s song Still 19 from his 1999 album J.Boy.
I also found a video clip of the song featuring J-drama queen Ishihara Satomi starring in Be-Bop High School:
I think I definitely need to find that J-drama now. ;)
Found at [Moss]
Sex with a Nissan Silvia S110?
The answer is yes:
Nissan Sex?
Or could it be that the Silvia has sex with a Fairlady? (Hence the ZSex badge)
Found at [Speed Hero]
JPN (Edit 2021: Rocketpencil no longer exists) uploaded another astonishing video: the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix held at Fuji International Speedway!
It consists out of three races: the Touring A (1600cc) class, Touring B (2000cc) class and the Grand Touring class, translating into Bluebird, Skyline and Fairlady Z.
All non-Nissanians will complain I over simplified the outcome of the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix a bit. Yes there are indeed other cars (like the Mazda RX-2) but that’s what the main field and winners looked like: a dominating Nissan. Only later that year the Mazda RX-3s broke the winning victory streak of those menacing Skylines…

I posted about this Fairlady 280ZX before in the Family Album Treasures, but this time I found a picture of him and his Carina GT-R buddy sitting on the bonnets of their cars:
Carina and 280ZX
Buddy pictures always should end up in the family albums. ;)
A month ago I posted about this Nissan 350Z parked in my neighborhood. Apparently it is a regular or a new resident: I found it parked in the same parkinglot covered in snow!

So I quickly took some nice snapshots with my EOS/Helios combo. :)
Everything gets more beautiful when covered in snow:

The Z-logo looks even better when it is covered with a tiny film of snow:

Unfortunately I focussed on the indicator light below the logo and not on the Z itself. :(
Also the mirror looks a bit lost when covered in snow!

Last, but not least: what does the rear of the car remind you of? A Prius perhaps?

Maybe a bit mean, but when I saw the rear covered in snow and I tilted my head a bit it really resembled the silhouette of a Prius. ;)
This Nissan 350Z may not be a classic Japanese car yet but it surely will be, just like its older sisters, within 20 years!

Found it creeping around the corner while having a stroll with my son through the neighborhood.
