Meeting Monday
Shakotanbugi was this week present at the Old Car New Year 2012 meeting in Awaji Island (near Kobe) and he shared a lot of videos on Youtube!
Various kaido racers were present. Take for instance this Cresta GX71 with Falken livery:
Or this Kenmeri Skyline:
Also watch this overview video:
Note the car at 0:30. Is that a real 2000GT convertible or just a beheaded one?

There was no doubt about it: this Mark II at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 has to be the exhaust of this week!
Unfortunately I have only been able to source one more pictures of this beauty, so you will have to do with this smallish picture then:

There is so much win in this picture!

This one is somewhere between kaido racer and bippu. I’d rather refer to it as the style Koenig created in the 80s.
The wild mix of awesome hood fins, side fins, side air intake, large wings and deep dished SSR Formula Mesh wheels just makes it an exceptional appearance at the Auto Salon!
Edit: it is a Crown JZS150

Yes, this video by dragonflyANDO was taken riding shotgun (or rather hanging outside) of a Autobacs Bluebird 910 Super Silhouette replica!
And I’m happy to see the white whale crown made it to the Tokyo Auto Salon again this year!
The first video contains almost the same footage as you have seen before, but this time with the difference that the perspective is about a foot higher and more to the left than normal! (more…)

Finding this Red Bull Racing liverage at the Tokyo Auto Salon just made my day! Not only old Granchan paint schemes are copied but also the modern ones.
I don’t think it is a copy of the Formula One, but what else does carry this liverage? Could it be the Red Bull Racing Nascar? Or maybe Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Pikes Peak that got copied?
