Random: Soaring madness!

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

At the same site as yesterdays picture of the week I found this lineup of four differently styled Soarer kaido racers:
A bunch of Toyota Soarers
But are they actually styled differently??

Found at Manato

Meeting Monday

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Take4Mickey treated us with an old meeting video from 1993 in Nabeta. Now only which Nabeta did he refer to?

I’ve fallen for the tail-light-less Skyline C10: somehow it looks so right! I only wonder how legal it would actually be…
And also note the hoodfins on the Soarer around 2:30: they are so big they look like they came from the batmobile! And after that it gets more crazy then you would expect!

Lower-than-shakotan Soarer in pictures

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Last week’s Meeting Monday featured a lower-than-shakotan Soarer at the Wanko Road Kaohsiung meeting where a hero saved the day by holding up the flares. You can now see it all happen on the photos someone else took that day:
Lower than shakotan Soarer
Is it still holding on??

Up close the guy really looks as if he just hitched a ride in a Delorean from the early 90s! (more…)

Meeting Monday

When is shakotan still not low enough you just go one step further. Driving on the relatively flat roads of Japan to a meeting isn’t the problem, but the problems arise when you drive on the meeting area!

I must say the guy helping out with the fender flares must have been a very patient guy: walking that whole distance in tortoise gear and making sure those flares do not touch the ground… ;)

Game: Aggressors of Dark Kombat

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Aggressors of Dark Kombat was a fighting game released by SNK in 1994 and went a few steps beyond their normal fighters. As the name already suggests: the game uses the K to make a wink to the Mortal Kombat.

The game itself was more targeted to the street brawling youth, hence all the references to the bosozoku in it. In this fragment you can spot in the background a shark nosed Toyota Soarer GZ10, a Toyota Crown MS125, a Toyota Cresta GZ71 and a Toyota Celica XX GX61 with oil coolers mounted on the bumper! Makes me wonder if they got some cash from Toyota for inserting their whole 80s lineup…

Now where can I find a second hand Neo Geo? ;)
