SIGHTING: Oh Dear God, No.

Posted: Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by: Chris

The Subaru Forester is one of those cars that unfortunately Japan gets all the best versions of. In North America the best we got was the blue coloured Forester 2.5XT Sports, which was an attractive car but hardly the 330hp beast that Japan got in the form of the Forester STI. That isn’t to say [...]

SIGHTING: V12 Vantage, A Whole Lotta Carbon Fiber

Posted: Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by: Chris

There’s some cars that you really can’t convey the beauty of in a photo. Cars like the new GT-R, while futuristic, always look somewhat clumsy or oafish in photos. Especially when placed in the context of of a race next to other usually more sleek cars. The performance may be there, but the form is [...]

SIGHTING: SWEET JDM LEGACY

SIGHTING: R35 GT-R in Tokyo

Posted: Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 by: Chris

TEASER: FLUSHED AND FLATTENED

Went out to the first DivisionR meet of the season this past weekend and met up with Sam & the rest of the club. Definitely some hot rides showed up, a few VW’s that defied the laws of Toronto potholes and these two slammed and flushed (poked!) cars. Here’s a little bit of a teaser [...]

SIGHTING: R34 Skyline 4door in Akihabara, Tokyo

Posted: Monday, April 19th, 2010 by: Chris

Having never seen an R34 GTR before the trip to Japan I was even more surprised to come across so many 4 door Skylines of the same generation. They’re atually quite sporty looking, although definitely not a GTR!!

Godzilla Hunting: A Megapost of GT-R’s from Tokyo

Posted: Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 by: Chris

When hunting big game it’s best to bring along a big gun. Which is why I felt entirely unmatched when I arrived at Daikoku PA outside Tokyo for the annual R34/35 meet not long ago. I had foolishly only brought two small lenses with me, no tripod, and was clammoring to shoot every GT-R I [...]
