Remembering Japanese cars from the past
It is always nice to see owners mix and match parts from other cars. In this case this Levin is a mix and match of a kouki Levin (eyebrows on the headlights and bumper with wrap around indicator lights) and some grille I’ve seen before…
Now where did I see that before?? Is it from another E80 Corolla? Can’t remember the E80 ever had such a grille…

I visited Amsterdam earlier this week and while waiting for my train on the Central Station this Amsterdam tourist postcard caught my eye:
Yes indeed: a third generation Mitsubishi Galant, a Nissan Sunny N13 (Pulsar N13 was sold here as the Sunny) and a Datsun Cherry N11 (Pulsar) and ehrm…somthing in the background. ;)
Somehow I knew in the back of my mind it was bad that I spotted these Japanese cars first and a second later the five brightly lit red windows behind them… And I know: it is also a really bad thing to admit… :(

Be amazed, be very amazed: the full lineup of cars for the 2003 reunion movie/episode!
Apparently someone got access to the props department and I must say that all those cars with red flashing lights is an amazing sight!

First of all the Trampio Levin AE86 never featured the N2 flares since it never competed in the N2 series, so it can’t be the original.
Second of all there was no Trampio Trueno AE86, only the Levin… Continue reading
What is even more impressive than the Motorfix 1UZ (with ITBs) powered UZE70 Corolla? A supercharged 1UZ Celica XX GA61 (aka the Celica Supra mk.2) with its supercharger sticking out of the bonnet in Mad Max style!

Do you love Japanese retro styled cars like the Nissan Pao/Figaro or the Subaru Vivio Bistro? Then you will definitely dig this van:
Influenced by the Citroën H van and improved with aircon and powersteering. ;)
Anyone got an idea which kei-van platform this was built on?
Finally found it: it is a Honda Vamos Mooa!
