Look how blasé with are, 17 pages of cars from a diverse show in Japan, and it warrants one reply from someone that isn't OP. Amazing. Anyway I had been meaning to reply but haven't had time to even think this week, let alone have a look at some photos. However now I have! So: Not just Japanese stuff lowered on wide wheels then  P1390343 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr LOOK AT THIS! The wheels are amazing, the colour spot on, ride height is just right for the look. Brilliant. Could easily be done with a LiteAce as well  P1390383 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr Before I saw the treatment these get in Japan I never really wanted one, now they are very high on my want list  P1390690 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr This Galant has presence, and stance.. no it has Stance, capital S. Brilliant stuff  P1390709 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr I desire one of these CROWN pickups almost as much as I desire a Lotus Europa, maybe even more some days  P1390820 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr Because black with gold wheels is never a bad idea.  P1380369 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr Just because it is a somewhat unusual thing to see at a Japanese car show  P1390992 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr I love the diversity of this show. |

Still at work and replying on my mobile, but want to say wow great thread and how is this not top of gen board? I guess people would rather look at threads about top gear, what car to buy and what cars to invest in? Sad times imo.
Mmmm Bog 4 prez.

I'm a little biased but all the Hako's are brilliant.
Also, all the other cars are brilliant.
Thanks !

Before I saw the treatment these get in Japan I never really wanted one, now they are very high on my want list P1390690 by Koji Karimata, on Flickr Why is it that other countries make British sports cars look so damn good? Bleddy loverly! |

I love seeing photos from Japanese shows. It's amazing how much work they put into a car and how individual they all are. Their shows, for me anyway, always seem to be so much more interesting than your average show here.

I was at the show again this year, and it was blessed with decent weather. Just a few days earlier snow was threatening to reach Tokyo and it was cold and wet right up until Saturday morning. Sunday dawned mostly clear. Quite a relief.
It has to be said that the car park for the paying public is probably better than the show itself. Visit the New Year Meeting a few years in a row and you will notice many of the same cars in the arena. The car park on the other hand is a constant surprise and throws up many unexpected gems.
The resurgence of a certain crowd and the neo-Bosozoku movement is starting to grate a little though. That element has gradually transformed the New Year Meeting from something with very catholic tastes into something a little harder and less well executed. It's pretty much scared all of the fancy old Euro stuff off, which is a pity.

It's pretty much scared all of the fancy old Euro stuff off, which is a pity. That is a shame, one of my favourite Instagram accounts is Classic Cars In Tokyo, it always surprises me what pops up, not things like Renault A110 or stuff like that, but more things like that Fiat Panda, there was an Alfa 33 on there a little while ago. It is great to know someone in Japan is enjoying the delights of ridiculous torque steer in their Italian obscurity  |
