Remember the Kumamoto Nagasu Racing Carina A60 coupe or perhaps the fact that Daijiro Inada and Nomuken visited that particular meeting in Kumamoto? Yankymate30s just posted up that Video Option fragment of Gogo-Daijiro!
Not only the Carina AA63 coupe is being covered, but also the Kitakyushu Y33. Daijiro also seems to enjoy himself when driving in the Soarer and the Alto! Definite must see!

Let’s hope his Carina gets the same smart look as this one!! Exhaust sticking from the hood, nice large wing on the bonnet, wide fenders and that great spoiler on the nose of the car!
