Bosozoku car chase (stop motion)
I had a good laugh when I watched this stop motion animation of two bosozoku style cars being chased by the Japanese police:
The video is called Tomica “Brothers race shop”. The two brothers drive a Nissan Skyline KPGC10 and a Nissan Skyline KDR30 Super Silhouette (replica) and even manage to get the military involved… The video was made by CARBOY0604 and his son. Love the way the music shifts from scene to scene. 😉

Exhaust of the week: R31 silhouette
The car is a great homage to the Super Silhouette racers! Of course the Super Silhouette racers didn’t feature those huge pipes sticking out of the bonnet, but in looks they were equally great! 😉
