Our friend Cam was there and took awesome pictures in the event, so why not writing a whole post and share it to you?

There are some pictures being showed up, from 2011 TAS. Watching that pictures and form my point of view something is being missing. Well VIP style is increasing but we like racing cars, real perfomance…and that VIP style is too much.

That Z is an exemple….wtf?

Little visit to Gundam Front Tokyo.

When I was told about a workshop specialized in only AE86 I was a little surprised. But the it just took me about 10 minutes to find some information in internet to know where to go. Carland is not to far from home, maybe just about 10 kilometers so I decided to have a walk.

When I finally arrived there this photo was the first I see with my eyes, so astonished. You don’t just to see so many AE86 all them together. Don’t even imagine that even here in Japan these old Corolla’s and Trueno’s are all around the streets. Old cars are very difficult to spot in the cities.

Most of the AE86 in the shop are dressed as usual, panda style body paint and Watanabe’s. Those cars have special buyers, they aren’t cheap, but they are clean and restored until the last corner. So you can imagine that any boy looking for a project is not looking for that kind of AE86.

Reaching almost the 3 millions of Yen this Red Sprinter Trueno had only 15.000km in its clock. Probably very difficult to find another Sprinter with such a low mileage at any place.

This levin was probably my favorite. Volk TE37’s and coupe version.

They were shooting some cars for some advertising and as cars are ready to be sold. So I had the opportunity to heard them running.

The workshop is so small, but the level of experience and the attention to the detail in this AE86 specialist is so high.

This corner is like the waiting room. Some cars still waiting for a new life, new paint and of course a super update to be able to use it as daily driven everyday if you want.

As said before the panda style body paint and the Watanabe’s are the common. I am sure many Initial D fans around their 30’s are so glad driving them.

That special Home Van make me laugh, this shop is in love with the AE86 that anything related to the Levin is welcome here.

That was impressing, specially the Porsche was so noisy.

I will be so happing owning one like this again. Civic’s got much love from the Osaka Car Culture.

You don’t see this often. That Toyota was like just bought from the dealer.

I think I have speak in other post about how popular de Mini’s are in this country. There are many non official dealer all abroad the country.

Many of you are thinking what to do with that PS13 right…

Being in Japan what is really and spot is to find that Mustang lol.

Probably the coolest Toyota Crown I have seen until now. The mix of VIP Car and Work Meisters is so great.
