Hi folks,

I don't post too often, but you might have noticed that I trundle past occasionally when I'm either looking for something specific or feel I have something to share.

I'm lucky to live in the middle of England (but not as lucky as if I could live in the middle of Scotland ) and close to where many of the Japanese car shows take place. I've been to two lately - the first was JAE (Japanese Auto Extravaganza) which was a fun weekend consisting mainly of getting mildly to moderately drunk with my Yaris Club UK mates and the second was a day trip to the Japshow Finale to see some of the drag racing and nosey the stunning machinery on some of the club stands.

So anyway, here are some pics:-

JAE

YCUK Stand - we were a bit ostracized as Lexus OC had no cars at all on their stand (their chauffeurs must have been on strike). Look how close we were to the bar though!


Maybe I brought along some props for showing off...


I cleaned it and everything.


My other little motor - 1.3 litres of lowered, stiffened, near-stock looking noise (40mpg no problem...)


Nissan Silvia


Nissan GT-R


Mitsi' GTO

I can't believe that of almost 2700 cars those were my best photos. I blame alcohol...

Japshow Finale


Nitrous injected, MR-2 Turbo powered Fiat 126!


R34 Skyline with carbon canards...


Which then sprouted a JDM chick. This was for sale for £15,000.


ST205 Celica GT-4 - if I didn't already have a complex, JDM problem-child I could easily have taken this home.


More Nissan-based JDM Drift-ness. I always forget the name of this model...


There was plenty of Skyline-porn around.
