Coming up: Tokyo Auto Salon 2012!
It is almost time: tomorrow the Tokyo Auto Salon edition 2012 will open its doors to the public and anyone knows what will happen on Sunday?
A little hint: it has to do with the video below! (more…)
Friday video: on its way to TAS 2011!
I spotted this video at Youtube user customchiba’s channel, a Skyline C210 on its way to Tokyo for the Auto Salon:

I came up with the idea to create a Bosozoku ABC (actually a Kaido Racer ABC) a few days ago, so if you got ideas for additions or new terms please contact us!
So let’s kick off with the A:
Aikawa Sho: Actor, most famous for playing shogun/bosozoku/yakuza parts regularly.
Akira Maeda: Professional boxer, ex Bosozoku
Aoshima: Manufacturer of scale model building kits, including kyusha kai or kaido racer style!
Auctions Yahoo: The place for sourcing your original zokusha parts!
Auszoku: Infamous Australian bosozoku oriented forums
Auto Salon (Tokyo): Infamous for its parking lot meeting on the last day of the Salon.
Auto Trend (Nagoya): Famous for the parkinglot meeting next to the highway.
That’s it for the A. If you have any additions or terms starting with a B, don’t hesitate to write/comment! 😉

At first I was a bit surprised by this TAS 2011 videoNew Years video: was it the real thing? One second later I discovered it was almost real. Can you spot the difference?
Only the fender and wheelsize are smaller than the original! Nice copy!
Edit: Not TAS2011, but at a New Years meet

It was inevitable: the picture of the week had to be taken on the Tokyo Auto Salon 2011… Actually they are pictures of the week because there were two real sharknoses and both of them were GX61s:
A real sharknose GX61
I must say this first one is quite subtle. 🙂
As long as you can call its rear subtle too:
A real sharknose GX61
And the second one may look like a sharknose:

But its bonnet and fenders were not modified for this, so is it half a real sharknose?
BTW: I’ve created a Tokyo Auto Salon 2011 gallery where I’ll upload most interesting pictures of the meeting.
